PhreeZone 20 #7 October 25, 2001 Geee.... you pass within 2 miles of my place here:10.Go West on I-70 WESTpassing by Zanesville,OH to I-270(Exit 108).11.Go Northwest on I-270 passing by Columbusto I-70 WEST(Exit 8)12. Go West on I-70 WEST passing by Springfield, OH to Indiana. But these directions are wrong..... if you go north around Columbus you are adding 25 miles to the trip. If you go south its only 5 extra. Taking 70 all the way through town is another option (its down to 2 lanes downtown ) Depending on the day and time you pass through, there ia a DZ within 20 minutes if you are itching to strech the legs and jump OR a CASA is only an hour awayIf you need a place to crash at when you get to this stage, my couch is open. Plus I've got high speed internet if you need to keep up to speed on what you are missing here.I know someone else on here that is right off interstate here too:12. Go West on I-70 WEST passing by Springfield, OH to Indiana. A rainy day at the DZ is better then a Sunny day at work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 7 #8 October 25, 2001 --------12. Go West on I-70 WEST passing by Springfield, OH to Indiana. 13.Go East on I-70 EAST towards Indianapolis, INto I-465 SOUTH(Exit 90)14. Go South on I-465 SOUTH to I-70 WEST (Exit 9). ---------Same thing Phree was saying about Columbus applies to Indianapolis. I never take the bypass around, except maybe during rush hour. Even then, there's a ton of construction going on, it'll probably be better just to take 70 through Indy.Oh, and I can almost see I-70 from my place if you need a place to rest a little west of Dayton, OH.It says your signature can be 100 characters, but I can only get it to accept 50.

mountainman 0 #10 October 25, 2001 I agree with Wildblue...taking the bypass around Indy is totally not worth it. You should just go right on through. I live an hour north of Dayton, so if you accidentaly take a right in Dayton, and are heading north, gimme a jingle (phone call).--------------Brandon Wren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FallingMarc 0 #23 October 26, 2001 Hey, yeah, drop in to Archway if you go by on a weekend! That'd be cool... also, if you need a break from the road as you're coming through Illinois anytime, Champaign is about 60 miles north of I-70, it's a little off the path, but like I said, if ya need a break...
