Written Directions

Really easy to describe ... in south eastern Ohio, just take state route 78 between Glouster and McConnelsville.

Scenery

Southern Ohio at it's finest ... tight twisty roads with a boatload of elevation changes. After McConnelsville it opens up to more of a fast sweeping road and tightens again. Its a real blast, enjoy. I have never seen a law enforcement type on this road, but be careful it is rural and there can be farm equipment out there as well as wild life.

Drive Enjoyment

Recently repaved in Morgan county. As mentioned above ... this road is a GREAT collection of twisties with elevation changes. All of 78 is kick @#&* but this section was recently repaved summer of 2005!!!

Tourism Opportunities

Both Burr Oak state park and Wayne National Forest are located on this route.

A good stretch of road. The road can be a little rough in areas. I will be back to ride it again.

Boy, they do love to through around the 'Tail of the Dragon' comment on every damned twisty road in Ohio, don't they? This is not even remotely close to Tail of the Dragon. What it is...is a damned fun road in it's own right.

Great ride with lots of switchbacks and changes in elevation. Scenery is also great.
Just a great ride.
