Also Tim’s navigator!
We have had some beautiful top-down weather, so Tim and I drove. We’ve put together a route that was originally intended to have us in Maysville, KY for lunch, returning on KY 8. Some of the roads were pronounced as straight and boring, but the navigator enjoyed the scenery!
In any case, here are the details:
Meet 9:00 at Walmart on Chamber Drive in Milford. 201 Chamber Dr, Milford, OH 45150
Connect to US 50 east to Hillsboro, where we pick up OH 73 south/east to Serpent Mound – a drive of a little less than 90 minutes with no stops. We have allocated 90 minutes exploring – $8 parking fee per car (paid in the gift shop), decent bathrooms, small museum, walkable path but the observation tower is being rebuilt and won’t be open until January or February ☹. After visiting Serpent Mound, we will continue on OH 73 to OH 41 south, crossing OH 32 to Duncansville, where we will turn onto Wheat Ridge Road to Miller’s for lunch, again allowing 90 minutes. After lunch, we will return to OH 41, taking it south through West Union to Aberdeen, where we will turn west toward home on US 52. The whole route is about 160 miles. We have designed a few “bail outs” at OH 32 and after Miller’s.
Notes: Walmart in Milford has bathrooms. Since the first leg is just about 90 minutes, there is no planned potty/gas stop. There are restrooms at Serpent Mound and Miller’s, but no gas – SO – come with a full tank, empty bladder, and your FRS radio tuned to channel 7.1.
