Cincinnati Area Thread (Tri-State, Ohio/Kentucky/Indiana)

That place looks awesome, and it's only a few hours away! I figured I'd have to go into TN or WV for something like that. I would definitely be interested in that in the spring.

 

I’ll only put them on for play time. Very happy with my Cooper AT3 for daily driving.

 

DBBB sounds like fun, but what part of KY is it?

 

I-64/I-75 corridor

Edit: the DBNF runs along I64/75 corridor

 

It's all pretty much at Red River Gorge. We ran the whole thing just before this last years 'official' RRG meet, and some of us have gone back for return trips and done other parts of it. Beautiful camping and the wheeling is challenging enough that it's fun without feeling like if you mess up you'll total your truck. There's also some trickier stuff down there that is fun once you build the truck a little bit.

Myself, Matt, and Chris are all members of Ohio River Four Wheelers, and they actively maintain the DBBB, so that group is pretty familiar with it. But yeah, it's alot of jeep folks and some of them are a little out there lol

 

It sounds like a bunch of fun. Is it more suited to summer though?

 

It can be good pretty much any season. Seasons when everything is dead present a lot more good places to camp, but obviously summer is warmer. Just really depends on your tolerance. I wouldn't be surprised if some of us went down again as early as February.

 

Anyone doing a trip, or up for a trip this weekend? Im in Oxford, OH, about an hour north of cinci

 

Are you familiar with the Squirt Locker?

In other news, both @presta24 and I have seen your truck, assuming you go to Miami and park in dorm parking. We were driving up there to get him some seat covers some day when you were unloading. Creepy++;

 

I am not familiar with anything around here, Im a freshman here at Miami, yep.

Thats hilarious, haha glad I found you guys! Just picked up a RTT and Bed rack over TG break, so I am excited and ready to get out

 

The Squirt Locker is just some run down ass party house we drove past off campus. It's just a standing joke now because it has a fantastic name. I do not recommend googling it.

A few of us are going on an excursion this weekend, I'll add you to the PM

 

Haha I will definitely not google it, and maybe go look at it. Not.

Thanks, and are there any semi-active TW members who go to Miami on here?

 

They're welcome to chime in, but I don't recall anyone in this thread saying they're from oxford. Myself and @mwc273 are probably the closest to you, we both live in the Colerain area (down 27 about 40 minutes from Oxford).

 

Very nice, glad I found this Cinci thread!

 

I don't go to Miami, but I'm close to Kings Island. It takes me about 45-50 minutes to get to Hueston Woods. I toured Miami in high school but couldn't afford it lol.

 

I grew up in that area as well

 

I graduated Mason with 980 other kids in 2010. Moved to Mason around 05 from Amelia. Big difference. Lebanon is more my speed, but they're starting to sell off some of the farm land around me and turn it into more subdevisions . I will probably end up moving further away from 71 and 75 to stay in the country lol. My house is literally right off of 42 about 2 miles North of Houston Inn. I'm technically "Union Township" but it's Lebanon schools. Just my taxes are half of what they would be if I were in town.

 

Holy cow! Kings Island opened in 1972!

 

I'm in Connersville, which is about 25 minutes from Oxford.

(Spent a lot of time in Oxford in my younger years.......)

I have family in Oxford, Hamilton.

 

I really thought you moved to Alabama all this time. Roll Tide!!
