Ohio Fall Colors – Oct 17th, 2020
A group of Ohio flat fenders are getting together on the Saturday of October 17th, 2020 to drive the unmaintained roads in the area between Tar Hollow State Forest and Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio. This is our forth year and some of us are making this a spouse outing this year (like last year). We currently have 12 to 15 flat fenders (yes, we would like to keep this as a flat fender event). We will meet around 9:30 and ride for about 5 or 6 hours. These are county roads that are not maintained. Some are just creeks others are old wagon roads that run property lines up into the hills. Vehicles attending must be licensed and insured because these are state roads. Valid driver’s license for all those who will be driving. Liability resides with the driver on these roads. (I expect we will be doing social distancing to comply with whatever is going on this fall) The plan is to meet at Tar Hollow Lake parking lot below the dam on the left side of Tar Hollow Road at 9:30am. There is also a campground around at location for those interested in camping. Get unloaded and be rolling by 10:00. The Lake parking lot are about 3/4 of a mile up Tar Hollow Road which is off of State Route 327. There is a big sign for Tar Hollow State Park at the entrance. Cell phone service is almost nonexistent. Bring a trail lunch and a tow strap. Hopefully, we will have great weather, but I have found that good Jeeping can be had in all weather if we are prepared and the drivers are up for the challenge. Should be a blast - no cell phones service, New meeting location at the Tar Hollow lake parking lot, unmaintained roads, old Jeeps and fall colors! Take a look at Google maps and let me know if you cant find the meeting place. Here is a link showing the meeting spot. We will be driving the road East / Northeast of the meeting place.

Bob Evans is in. Pretty sure I can talk my wife into coming again, as long as we can find a place to answer the call of nature.

I plan on attending, 1 of the guys that I brought last who borrowed my green DJ bought a 3b early this spring and we’ve been working on getting it road worthy. So there could be up to 5 (flatfenders) from my group attending.

Great glad to have everyone - We will have to see how this develops. I expect we will have 2 or three more from the early day also. So that puts us around 10 Jeeps at 6 months out. If we get more we may split into two groups. There are lots of roads and weather is always the variable as to how easy or hard the roads are.
I am looking forward to it!

Hi Stev, Looks like you guys had a great time last year. I'd like to join you this year. Also, my brother is almost done with his CJ3A and I bet he'll want in. That will add 2 more flatfenders!

Great - Glad to have everyone. With Todd and Barry's additions - That might take us to 12 or 13 flatfenders 5 months out. Headed for two groups most probably.
Look forward to seeing everyone in October.

I'm hoping to head over from Northeast Indiana. With all the shows cancelled, I'm really looking forward to this. I have a 47 2A and this gives me a reason and a deadline to make it more roadworthy.

Patrick - I added you to the count above and hope to see you there.
Nice thing about driving county roads is that social distancing should not an issue.

Stev,
It looks like we’ll need to change up the morning rally point. A local group was informed that parking/staging/meeting at the maintenance garages is now a no go. James and I are heading down there next weekend to shake his 3b down and I’ll see if I can gather more information. |

One month out! I updated the first post to reflect that we are meeting at the Tar Hollow Lake Parking area just below the dam at 9:30am. This about 3/4 of a mile up Tar Hollow Road on the left sided.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Tar+Hollow+State+Park/@39.3845148,-82.7477771,216m/data=!3m1!1e3 Here is a picture of it from last weekend. There is plenty of parking. You can also camp there if desired. I think we are in the 12 to 15 Flat Fenders that I know of for this event so far. Edited by Stev - 08 Sep. 2020 at 2:42pm |
