Hate it when life gets in the way! I wish I could bust balls, but I'm guilty of having to bow out of a few gatherings myself because of shit going on. Hope we get a good crowd!

For those who don't know, if you click on "automatic" right above the map, as you zoom in, it turns into a sat image. Lets ya see what's around.
I couldn't find no GPS coordinates.

Lol. Yep same here. I can't commit but I hope to make it. It'll def be a last minute decision.
There's another way in to the spot that takes you past my house. There's a gas station at the end of that road. Last stop for beer and ice. Might do you guys good to see where it is in case you need to make a run. I'll post up directions that way in as well. It's about the same amount of time no matter which direction you're coming from.

I plan to make a stop in at some time during the weekend. Hope to catch a few of you fellas there. My overnight stay will be in my cabin 25 miles or so to the north though.

Aaaaah.....it's how I roll! rotflmao Dontchaknow the grass is always greener?! LOL! lmao
For those of you coming from the west side, you'll more than likely be coming in on US22 from Cambridge (off of I-70 and I-77). US 22 actually runs you right to the exit for my house. It's almost exactly one hour from Cambridge to my house. The reason I bring this up is it may be easier to travel past my house to get the spot. Less turns and it takes you past a last stop gas station for fueling up and maybe grabbing some last minute supplies (Smith Oil on Cadiz Rd and County Rd 26 - Bantam Ridge Rd).
Anyway, after about an hour of travel from Cambridge, take the Reeds Mill/Wintersville Exit on the right. Take a left off the exit and head up Reeds Mill hill. At the top of the hill you'll see Smith Oil on the right. Turn right there onto County Road 26 (Bantam Ridge). You'll follow 26 for about 4 miles. It'll take you, eventually, down a steep hill. At the bottom of the hill you'll see a set of railroad tracks on the right and a track crossing with signs for Fernwood State Forest. Take a right there and cross the tracks and head up the hill toward Fernwood. From the tracks you will travel past the Ranger station and go about 2 miles. Past the Ranger station you will take the first left you see. I'll have a TOO sign posted at that turn. The campsite is located right there. Once you make that turn you can't miss it.
J and Ryan, if you guys remember how to get to my house and to where we rabbit hunted, you'll be fine. Anyone else that may be coming down RT11 and Rt7, just let me know and I'll post up directions to get you past my house as well.
If you're coming from the south, you will come up 77 and connect onto US22 at Cambridge and just follow what I posted above.
Those of you who will come down US 250 past Tappan Lake (Mike and Nickle), you will connect on US 22 in Cadiz. From there it is about 20 minutes to the Wintersville/Reeds Mill exit.
The directions supplied by the links I posted earlier will work just fine. They take you on some local dirt township roads, but they getcha there as well. Whichever you guys prefer.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ X 2. Like be CJD ( Big Bro ) said. I am in the same boat. I will check with Laura to see what plans we may have and if possible we would love to come down to meet more of you. Would be a fun weekend for Laura and I, she loves getting muddy an riding Quads!! Would probably bring the bow and maybe my quad. If we can make it we can bring some of my Wild Boar!!!!! Keep Yen's posted.
