Denver to Cincinnati to Cleveland to Denver. *Now with Pics*

Postby Gerdo » Thu Feb 28, 2008 11:22 pm

My son and I are taking a little trip next week. Back to Ohio to see family. As the title says, Denver to Cincinnati to Cleveland to Denver. We are taking the bug with us. It should be fun. Camping the whole time. This is why we have Teardrops. NO HOTELS!

Well that was an interesting trip. We were going to Cincy for a suprise birthday party at a hockey game. We were only 50 miles away when we get a call saying that the party was off. There is a Blizzard coming. Some people have the flu and others aren't going out in the storm. We also had family coming down from Cleveland, they didn't come because of the flu and weather. We got slammed with the blizzard. It was going to travel up thru to Cleveland on out path. We stayed in Cincy and then got out when there was clear weather. We headed back to Denver and didn't make it to Cleveland.

Pictures to come.

Grerdo , glad you had a safe trip! We only got about 3 inches out of that storm. Most of it was south & east of Toledo. I know Columbus got about 24 inches, I think Ciny got about 12 to 14 didn't they? Cleveland got about 20 inches. Anyway glad ya made it home ! :applause: :applause:
BTW I had Packo's today for lunch! :R It was gooooood! :lol:

We did stop at Krogers and buy some "Cincinnati" foods. Skyline Chili, Tony Packo's pickles, LaRosa's sauce.

I'm going to try this again.

I have a new co-pilot, my wife Lisha.

We are also giong to Cleveland first then down to Cincy. I get to link a little work in whith this trip so my gas and then some will be paid for.

We shouldn't hit any snow this time. It is tornado season now, isn't it?

Boodro,

We are always going over Toledo, via I-280. We need to stop one day and check out Tony Packo's. The original is the one on Front Street, right?

Other than the weather, rain every night and high humidity, it was a good trip. We drove thru, 100 miles, of a huge rain storm last night in Kansas. 3500 miles and no problems except a couple of water leaks while driving.
