Ohio Fall Colors Ride – Oct 21st, 2023  (always the third Saturday in October)

A group of Ohio flat fenders are getting together on the Saturday of October 21st, 2023 to drive the unmaintained roads in the area between Tar Hollow State Forest and Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio.  This is our seventh year and some of us are making this a spouse outing this year (like last year).

We usually have 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.

The main group will drive the unmaintained county roads.  Some roads 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. 

 _________________________

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 on Saturday.  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 seems to have improved in recent year but is still sketchy in spots.  

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 - 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.

Greetings - We are five weeks out on this event.

We may have to be flexible on the trailer parking location.  The Park is having a fall event on Saturday.  Ruffy or I will post an update when we get more information from the Park.

Lots of time to get wrench on the old Jeeps in the next 5 week. The weather here has been really dry - if that holds, it will be dusty.

I look forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks.

Thanks,  Stev

Greetings - We are 11 days out.

From discussions, we are expecting a dozen or so Jeeps this year.  With a smaller group we may head to some new areas.

We will post an update on parking next week before the event.

Thanks,
Stev

Andy and I will be there Friday morning with my orange jeep. We are going to go trail-riding both days. What time is the Friday group planning to leave for the trails?

Planning on heading out 10am Friday morning. They’re forecasting Rain for a least Friday, percentages keep changing. Unless it’s a severe thunderstorm and torrential down pour I plan on riding rain or shine.

We are a go for Saturday.  See you around 0930.  We hope to roll at 1000.

Parking update:  We are going to use the parking lot below the dam like we have done in previous years.

Weather update: The morning temperature in the mid 30s. The high for the near 60.  Possible rain in the morning.

Fall Color update:  We are about halfway through the turn.

Headcount update:  About 10 vehicles

We had a great trip.  The colors were super.  11 Jeeps. Some wrenching.  No injuries.
