------------------
The journey to the city of Indians, Browns and a river that catches on fire, the 2013 road meet in Cleveland Ohio will visit spots including the rebuilt Innerbelt Bridge and Dead Man's Curve of Interstate 90, the downtown square that marks the terminus and junction of numerous routes in Cleveland, and even old bridges along the riversides and in Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
RSVP by July 11. My email is richardpetty43@msn.com if you need to contact me.
Hope to see some of you there!
I have prior plans for that Saturday, so I won't be attending.
Sounds like fun. I RSVP'd on FB already. It'll make a nice day trip being as it is about 5-1/2 hours from my house. :nod:
I am a maybe on facebook for this because this is my first day of my BIG road trip west, I could do it but I would have to leave and head to St Louis that evening for a toy show on Sunday, may be too much driveing in too short of a time frame for me.
Doubtful for me. I've committed to Chattanooga on the 6th and plan on going to Wichita on the 20th. I could do it in a day, I suppose, but I'd rather not.
I wish I could attend this meet, but Steve Alpert is coming to West Michigan and we're going to do some roadgeeking in this area (probably with a few others too). He and I have been planning this for a while and he already bought his plan ticket. That's a done deal.
I hope you guys have fun!
Hotel booked and non-refundable, so I'm in. :D
Attending a wedding that day in Virginia, so no can do.
I caught a few old bridges, and then Googled and saw all the ones I'd missed upriver. Hopefully your tour is going to make a stop in the Flats, under the Superior Viaduct.

It is in fact.
A small meet it was, but a good meet indeed.
Here we are in The Flats:

I wound up driving and got to show off my mad parallel parking skillz on a hill with a stick shift.

That would be (left to right) Anthony (me), yourself, Daniel, and Adam.
I am also happy to report that I successfully obtained the $5 Adam owed me, thus making the trip worth it. :P
Great pictures, Brandon! It looks like it was a good time.
Alright, my meet photo, not as great as Brandon's, but

Meet went fine all things considered in the lack of attendance. Is this the first time we've had a meet without a native of the state in the place?
Bennington, perhaps. I don't believe that we had a Vermont native or Vermont resident at that meet, but I could be wrong.

Brian's dad joined us on Saturday. Wasn't he from the area?
And you misspelled "Hoosiers." :-D
