the Wizard of Oz
I'm stealing a day off in September and planning a trip to....??? I'd half planned on The Dragon, thinking I could get from Chicago to Knoxville on the slab Sunday, ride the Dragon and the Cherahola all day Monday, then back to Knoxville for the overnight and back to work in Chicago Tuesday night. Ta Da.
Then a guy recomended Ohio 555, south out of Zanesville and I started looking at the map and noticed near the S end of 555, Rte 7 goes S out of Coolville ( of all places!) and connects to 52 which follows the river toward Cincinnati. BTW have you read a book called "Follow The River"? (James Alexander Thom) It's terrific. And it'll make you want to try the drive along the Ohio. Trust me.
It looks to me like the 555 option is both closer (fewer miles on the slab) and has more miles of fun riding. So I've begun to lean toward Ohio.
But The Dragon is ....well, The Dragon. I mean, C'mon!
Whadda YOU think?
Note to C.R.K. I was just in MI so it's kinda faded to third place.
