Took a ride to the Ohio River today

pat0021 · 07-03-2009

Well I took a short ride down to the Ohio river and around some roads I hadn't been on today. Did about 370 miles.

Went down 250 to 800 and followed that for a while.

Turned off on 255 West. It was in great shape and the scenery was awesome. Couple down sides. The road was very narrow and because of that people had gravel kicked up in some of the corners. Very twisty road if you're into that. LOL

Had to snap some pics of course. The first is looking west up the river. The second is zoomed in on the barge in the distance. Then after stopping at a rest stop on the river. I headed north on 260. Turned off on 564 then to 147 and then on to 78 and then I77 on to 36 west to Mt Vernon then home.

That's a nice day trip! Great pics. I've ridden some areas of OH as far north as Columbus, but mostly around the southeast corner. Lot's of good roads and scenery. Especially the Amish areas.

the first pic of the river looks like you are standing IN the river

do you just always wear waders?

pat0021 · 07-03-2009

actually I was as close to the river as you can get without getting wet. There was a nice little path at the rest stop that you could walk to the waters edge. The rest stop is by sistersville. near 7 and 800
