Itinerary - Day 1

Our adventure will begin on Sunday, July 10, 2011. I'm hoping to be out on the road by 7:00 a.m. The good news, is that Josh and I are both early risers, so this shouldn't be much of a problem.

Day 1, like so many others on this adventure, is a "travel" day. I'm not expecting to encounter anything too exciting along the way, but you never know. Today's plan has us traveling from our house to Streetsboro, Ohio. According to Google Maps, this trip will be approximately 449 miles, and we should be able to complete the drive in about 7 hours and 30 minutes. If all holds according to plan, we should be arriving at our campground at around 4:00 in the afternoon. This should give us plenty of time to set things up, settle in, and maybe go for a swim or a bike ride to loosen up after the long drive.

Streetsboro, OH is located in the Northwest corner of Ohio, about 30 miles Southeast of Cleveland. I tried to do some research on Streetsboro, OH, to see if there might be anything of interest in the area, but I came up empty. According to Wikipedia, there is a Wal-Mart, Target, Lowes, Home Depot and Staples, so I guess that's good. It's also the location of the first Sonic-Burger drive-in in Northeastern Ohio! Awesome!!!

I imagine that we'll probably try to get to sleep fairly early, as we'll have to get up in the morning, make breakfast, pack up our gear and get on our way for day 2. After dinner, maybe a game or two, a small campfire and then off to bed.

If anyone knows anything about Streetsboro, or anything nearby, by all means let me know ... after 7 or 8 hours in the car, I'm sure we'll be up for just about anything. Perhaps the world's biggest ball of string or something like that!!!

Well, that's pretty much it for this post. Stay tuned for an upcoming post describing day 2 of our itinerary. It promises to be just about as exciting as day 1!!!
