Done this plenty of times, wasnt sure if there was something close. Theres also enough muscle, I just dont want to impose. Let me know Mike, and those suckers are coming out when i get home. Frees up 150lbs too!
Enjoy the weekend boys, i'm bumming I can't be there this year, but moving to NH will do that to a guy! Safe travels all, eat well (as you usually do) and have a blast!!
I don't think you'll need the ramps. There's plenty of banks you can back up to right by the campsite.

I'm not gonna be able to make it up this year fellas. My buddy just bought some land with a big old pond on it and his damn is starting to go. He rented some equitment this weekend and needs some help. Between that and my niece being born it's probly best I stay close to the house. I'm pretty bummed I'm gonna miss a good time though!
Just a heads up, if any of your GPS are telling you to stay on 70 toward wheeling and bypass 77, don't do it! There's a bridge out where 70 connects onto 7 north and it will Fugg you all up.
Those coming from the west, follow 70 until it merged into 77 north. You'll be on 77 for about 5 miles and then merge onto 22 east.
From the south, follow 77 until you hit 22 east at Cambridge.

It is, just pick up 22E in Cadiz. I'll be on the same route, just farther north.

This is the best route from W to E. All clear as I was down there in Cottyville last weekend. Your destination is simply a few miles off Rt. 22.
Fellas, my best advice is to do this:
Type in the address to Smith Oil in Wintersville. It is 1424 Cadiz Rd. Wintersville.
That is the best road in. At Smith Oil you will take a right onto County Rd 34 (Bantam Ridge Rd). From that point you could either type in the GPS coordinates Jesse provided on the very first page or follow this:
At Smith Oil, take a right onto County 34. Travel 3.4 miles. that will put yuou at the bottom of Fernwood Hill. Take a right onto County 26. You will cross railroad tracks and a single lane bridge and head up the other side of Fernwood Hill. At the top of the hill, on the left is a Ranger Station. Do NOT turnm at the station. Stay straight! Go past that and take the next left about 2 miles down the road. That next left will put you right to the campsite. Can't miss it.
If you guys follow the coordinates straight from your house, you will be on some gravel township roads. they're not bad, just a heads up. the way I'm bringing you is a little nicer and not much farther at all. In fact, I'd say a couple minutes quicker.
Safe travels fellas!

We should be pretty close to the same route once I hit Wooster and pick up 250. Says it will take me 2.5 hrs to get there.
Been to the lake years ago. Took the high school girls down that way for a basketball camp. Then I met up with Uglykat at the lake for a bit before heading home.
