Ohio truck meet, again!

On Sunday August, 28th we plan on having another truck meet in Millersburg, Ohio. You may have seen our past meets 1, 2, 3 and 4. This one will be the same. We’ll get together and shoot the breeze about Ford trucks (and trucks in general), then we’ll drag a trailer up and down a 15%-17% grade hill and compare how the trucks did. It’s always a fun, educational, and sometimes piston melting, turbo breaking good time.

Post here if you are interested in coming. If you need hotel or camp ground recommendations let me know.

Sweet Mike! You should bring your turbo V10.

I will put this on my calendar - sounds like a great time and not too far for me!

Cool! Hopefully this time around we'll have a good showing from the gas trucks.

Bump.

Anyone whom wants to come just to BS is more than welcome. You certainly aren't required to tow.

I'll be there to bs and to tow. Warned the wife that I was making a day trip out there.

Cool! Will be nice to see a 6.2 tow.

Bump...

For all those seeking accommodations below are my suggestions. Being a big tourist area because of the Amish there are lots of options.

Campgrounds: There are several already and another being built. Here are the three nicest ones I can think of that are currently in operation.

Scenic Hills: Located just east of Berlin near Hiland High School (the one of two high schools in the county).

Kandel’s Camping & RV Park: Located near Walnut Creek.

Whispering Hills: Located near Shreve. It’s the farthest away from “Amish Country” but still a nice campground from what I been told.

I would lean more towards Scenic Hills because of location but I never stayed at any of them so I am not sure which one is "better".

Hotels: Below are some of the nicer ones that I can think of but there are also a bunch of bed and breakfast to be found. Unfortunately August is one of the prime tourist month so rates are not going to be cheap.

Berlin Grande Hotel: It would be one of my recommendations especially if your bringing someone with you that wants to shop or visit the area. It’s located in Berlin so it’s close to all the tourism.

Comfort Suites: Also one of my recommendation is your are brining someone with you that wants to shop or visit the area. It is also located in Berlin.

Berlin Village Inn: This is a motel and it’s been there since I can remember as a kid. Not very fancy but it’s cheap and located in Berlin.

Carlisle Inn: Located in Walnut Creek it is probably the farthest away but a nice hotel.

Comfort Inn: Located in Millersburg.
