June 2023 Ohio Meetup

GENERAL DISCUSSION
1

Let’s start planning a warmer weather meetup for us Ohioans(non-Ohians welcome too)

Ohio state parks site:
https://ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property

we need to figure where because the reservations fill up fast. Memorial day weekend is already mostly sold out in most of the parks I looked at so far. Alum Creek, Mt Gilead and Dillon are all centrally located. Most spots are ~$30/day and big enough for 2 cars for friends

tagging everybody who showed interest for last meetup: @Rattler @Moose @Casablanca @Wild_Mitten @Tazzdamonster27 @lvtaco

For years I thought Ohio might not be a real state, but thanks to forum posts like this and some intense research, I finally believe it’s real and even put it on my list of places to camp. Life is crazy like that.

Just wait until Ohio finally takes over

In all seriousness though, there are some pretty neat places in this part of the country, just not as immediately breathtaking like the mountain view’s of the West.

The first traffic light and street light

Spaghetti o’s
vacuum cleaner
frozen white castle burgers
Largest Amish settlement
birthplace of 7 presidents
Used to have the most roller coaster of any state until Geauga Lake went under
Annie Oakley
world’s largest cuckoo clock- I have a video somewhere it runs for 5 minutes every half hour

Don’t make get into how many corporations have their headquarters here. there’s a saying around here when there’s a recession happening… “What recession?”

edit: almost forgot the sealant used the campers is made in Mentor, Ohio

Delaware State park is about 40 minutes north of Columbus. June 10-11 has a large number of spots open sites 164-193 that weekend. the rest of the month looks like it’s mostly scattered spots.
