Event Information
Covered Bridges Drive and Picnic | |
| Date: Sunday May 16 | |
| Time: 10:00 | |
| Location: Departure from Frisch's - New Richmond (link below) | |
| So here’s some up-dated info. :
We’ve confirmed that the best place to start is the Frisch’s in New Richmond. I would like everyone to arrive at 9:30AM for a 10:00AM departure. Drivers meeting at 9:50AM. Anyone interested in Breakfast should arrive earlier. Teri and I plan to arrive at 9:00 for just that purpose. This drive will be split in two section with a 1-1/2 hour lunch break so folks that do not want to devote the entire day to a drive can pick which ever leg suits them. The morning leg will take us along the river to Ripley and travel north (roughly) to see the first two bridges with lunch at an old Road Side Park. There is a covered picnic area with plenty of room for approx. 24 people and there are also six or seven uncovered picnic tables. There are also grills. If you choose to cook hamburgers or hot dogs; however, please bring your own charcoal. Teri and I plan on cold cuts and something to share. Teri says she is bringing Potato Salad and a “Seven-Up Cake”. YUM, YUM. This road side park is located on RT 125 just east of the intersection of 136. Shelter and grills are located just about 100 feet to the east of that intersection. The community (Town or Village?) is called Panhandle. If we depart Frisch's on time (at 10:00AM) we should arrive at the road side park at noon. Second leg will depart at 1:30PM to allow a leisurely lunch and to provide adequate time for anyone who only chooses to do the afternoon leg to hook up with the rest of us. Morning leg will visit three bridges and afternoon leg will visit four bridges. The drive will end in Mt. Orab so it is a pretty quick return drive via Rt. 32. So, please let me know if you still intend to make the drive. John Haas (Cell: 513-616-2786) | |
