Title: I'm buying a camp ground in Southern Ohio
Post by: Tuneforkfreak on June 13, 2015, 03:11:45 PM
Hello everyone! I've been busy working on my new homestead which is an 89 acre retreat in the hills of southeastern Ohio. It was formally a campground and I plan to bring it back to life as it's been sitting for six years. I'd like to start a once a year FJ weekend when I get it going. I'm located in between McArthur and Athens Ohio on Rt 50. I have a shower house w/ restrooms, 47 camp sites as well as 3 rental cabins. I have a 4 acre lake as well as two large ponds. The entire place is nestled in some of the most beautiful  forest in Ohio and the scenic riding in this area is awesome to say the least. Oh ya, I have a biker club ( Harley riders) across the street from me. They don't give me to much grief about my love for the FJ but are just rather happy that I ride in general. I'll keep you guys up to date when I get further along with the project. I look forward to hosting some cool events like this. :good2:

Color me green. Wish I lived closer as sounds like a great spot to chill out.

 Awesome. Us Southern Ontario riders will make a point to ride out your way. We are always looking for an excuse to get away. What is the exact address so we can google  your spot?

You are just the right distance. Put me down for 2016. I rode Rt 50 from So eastern Ohio through WV to Winchester Va when I was on a college geography trip. I rode a XS650 and my friend rode a 450 Honda.
