Long way to Ohio...

[ALLY Fox]

Pulled the 5th wheel from Independence Oregon to Marengo Ohio via Montana, Wyoming, Kentucky, Tennesee and several other side trips. So far about 5000 miles and only issues have been a broken windshield and 3 tires that developed uneven tread wear along the way. We're in Marengo for a week, next stop is Georgia. Old truck has run flawlessly so far, averaging a little over 12 mpg.

Nice, yeah the highway is hard on windshields, I've already replaced a couple and I refuse to tailgate because I hate rock chipped paint and still manage to break stuff.

Where is Marengo Ohio?

Where is Marengo Ohio?

About 30 minutes north of Columbus Ohio on 71

I've caught rock, from on coming traffic, following over 1/4 mile back etc
Done one on the LMM and one on the c3500hd I had

I didn't realize there was anything in Marengo worth seeing.

Good luck on the rest of your trip.

If you are still in town next Friday, a few guys from work and I are heading over to Pacemakers Dragway for T&T

We are staying at my wife's cousin's on State Route 656 in Marengo. Nice spread. I grew up in Ohio but haven't been back here in many years. I don't miss the humidity and cicadas.....

Come to Carrollton, ain't shit here, some farms and a overpriced dollar store, one more well and we're back to butler county pa, I can't wait.

I grew up in Canfield, spent a lot of time around ELO. My ancestors were river rats and well riggers along the Ohio. GGfather was a riverboat captain & grandpa rigged wells around Marietta, Wheeling and New Cumberland. Crusty ol' boys!

Took all the back roads over to Walnut Creek and Charm today, and I do mean BACK ROADS.... Not even sure Google maps knows about some of those roads. Had a pig fest at Der Dutchman. Lot of folks looking at my truck, trying to figure out why it isn't all rusted out. Gotta watch out for all those Amish buggies on the road!!!! Pretty country though.....

People fail to realize washing your truck in the winter does a lot. Mine has 219k and the only rust is starting on the pinch of the tailgate

Der Dutchman is the shiz! Did you go to Lehman's hardware? I love that place, and the kids love Hershbergers out in Charm. If you have little ones that love animals I highly suggest The Farm at Walnut creek :thumb:

Should probably do a better job at selling that :rofl:

Walnut creek is a good lil town. That's where I grew up. You can't go wrong with Dutchman's. :thumb: My only advice dodge the horse shit best you can.

Cabellas and the Kroger distribution warehouse wanted to be up here but morrow county wouldn't cooperate. Land is still relatively cheap aswell. Hell, my road just got paved, I'm moving on up.

Back home in Oregon, over 8,000 miles with no issues except a cracked windshield and a new set of trailer tires. Got about 11 mpg for the trip, truck ran like a boss. It's good to be back home!!
