Possible road trip to OH to assist

[knightfan26917]

*

As of now, I'll drive to Versailles OH in 2 weeks (Tuesday, 05/15/2012 - Friday, 05/18/2012) to help Mike at Mike's Montes get more pictures on the website & re-write some of the descriptions (which I've already started). It'll get me out of the house a bit & give me an albeit brief road trip.

Not sure yet what routes I will take to & from, but I will most-likely leave Elgin IL before or right after lunch on Tuesday, returning home late Friday evening. If you want me to stop between here & there, or if you're in the Versailles OH area & want to meet up Wednesday or Thursday evening, please let me know....

Thank you! I shall try to take some!

Dangit.

If you ever pass through Columbus....

You are about an hour and 45 minutes away from the town I'm planning a dinner on Thursday night. I'm guessing, though, you wouldn't be able to come, right? Hmmm...may have to see if I can work in a side trip to Columbus.... Have a Route 66 Roadhouse in that town I want to visit, too. BUT, not sure I can squeeze that in this trip.....

UPDATE!

As of now, this is still a possibility. Since I'm now in "panic mode" (more medical bills + unemployed with things I've worked for disappearing), a road trip may or may not be a good way to relax....

If you want to meet up along the way or in Piqua OH, let me know.

THURSDAY DINNER

TIME & TOWN remain the same; leaning towards 6p-8p (rather than 7p-9p).

PLACE is TBD. For location reference, BOTH restaurants are on the west side of I-75, but are on opposites sides of US 36.

TRAVEL ROUTE

Still TBD, but since I can "take my time" Tuesday, I may take the ALTERNATIVE route to OH. Then, on the way home Friday, I may take the DIRECT route.
