2011 Summer trip

June 1 is the start. We had planned on 18 months on the road, but with the price of diesel, we have cut back to only 4000 miles. We will pull the trailer with 2 scooters to Anderson, SC. Then Bruce (red line) will ride his scooter via the Tail of the Dragon (312 turns in 11 miles), then 6 days in Chaplin, KY with Dennis Hall and then on to Ada,OH. (about 700 miles total) Carol will continue to Pennsylvania for several weeks with friends. We will meet up in Loudenville Ohio at Wallyworld, then to Columbus, OH and then go to Wisconson.

 

Hope to hit Memphis and New Orleans on the trip back.





This hill climber was on display at the National races in Lima, Ohio

This is the 1/2 mile National race in Lima Ohio which I enjoyed. Note they go over 100mph and have no brakes. (end of June)

Loudonville, home of Charles Kettering who founded Delco, and was head of research

for General Motors for 27 years from 1920 to 1947.  There are several campgrounds in the area and a car show the last week of June.  Also lots of river rafting and Mohican state park.

Our rig at Wally World, just south of Loudonville.

Look below where they wanted to put us. Maybe space for a tent!

On Thursday, June 31 we rode the scooters to Sandusky and to Cedar Point. We didn't go in as it was late in the day. In the first month of our travels, I have put 2000 miles on my scooter!

A fifth wheel camper?

Don't try this at home kids!
