We started off early in the morning with breakfast at Bob Evans (blueberry crepés FTW!). Rachel and I met up with VCA members 'tbsviper' (white/blue SRT-10) and 'rcdice' (yellow R/T-10). My buddy Keith also joined us with his 05 Rumble Bee. Though not Viper-powered, he's a HUGE fan, and that's what counts...heh heh. Keith headed home after breakfast to get his weekend stuff finished before the OSU game, and the rest of us joined rcdice as he stopped for gas before heading out: Nice asps, eh? "Tom....do we know where we're going?" "Of course!!!!" On the way up to Mohican Resort: As usual, the SRT-10 truck ahead of the coupes....LOL (Note rcdice's hand out the roof, waving for me to slow down so I don't get too far ahead of the cars.....) We arrive at Mohican Resort in typical Kev fashion: 30 minutes late. Vehicle group photos: Owners of said vehicles standing next to their rides: (Far to Near: "Kevan", "rcdice", "tbsviper", "01sapphirebob", "ShelbyViper", "myviper") "Yeah...it's my dad's car........." "......for now." The plan is to do a lap near the Mohican State Park and through a solid section of Amish country. According to the foliage, we were about 10-14 days too early for all the really awesome colors, but there was some: Yeah.....20 mph.....sure.... The roads through the park area are in great shape, and were pretty dry after the early morning rain. Fun twisties! There are a bunch of covered bridges in the area too: "myviper" was tempted to give a little...ahem....'Throttle Announcement' on the other side of the bridge, but.....no one likes making grown men cry. More cruising shots through the park: We stopped at the Clear Fork Gorge again on this trip. What Frank's saying is, "I swear if I didn't know better, that thing is running straight pipes...." LOL In truth, it was pretty close to that. Here's some info on the gorge: We walked toward the overlooks and Rachel got some shots of some "fleurs": That one's for you, Chad. The group at the overlook: Most-of-the-group shot from the lower overlook: As you can see, the trees are *close* to changing, but not quite there yet: The gorge is no joke. It's steep: "Okay, everyone say 'VIPER!": Heading back out of the park, we changed up the order a little: If anyone else gets the chance, I recommend following "myviper". He's a challenge to keep up with. Plus, the exhaust sounds SWEET when he gets it up over 3000 rpms. Very nice indeed. Hey- the covered bridge again! I guess we *are* going the right way! LOL More cruising through the park: "Hey Tom- get us out of the sticks and onto some open roads!" "Okay, let's make a right....": Yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about! We ended up going to this super-historic house in Millersburg called the Victorian house. Hundreds of period correct pieces in there. It's amazing how they lived back then. I mean, a gasoline-fueled iron?!??!? On our way out of the 'museum', we spotted Johnny Law inspecting tags and making sure we all had our tires inflated to the correct PSI. The officer was VERY COOL, and a huge Mopar fan (drives an '08 Ram). I asked him what he thought of this little collection in the parking lot. His reaction: WIN! We took a little jaunt over to Der Dutchman and saw that the line for seating was....how do I put this nicely.....f'ing long. It was moving quickly, but..... I was wiped out from the last few days, and Rachel had a ton of work to get done so she could enjoy her Sunday. We said goodbye to the crew and got on the road back to the house. I took a back-roads route home (Rt. 62), and found out that it's quicker than I-71! I guess me doing 110+ during a couple of my passes didn't hurt either. Thanks to Tom from the VCA for setting this up and to everyone else for a great time today. Rachel and I had lots of fun. We're ready to do it again when you folks are! All content ©2008 Kevan J.
