RENDEZVOUS POINT #6D: COLUMBUS, OH

The coordinators out there have broken their state down as follows:

Ohio has been into four parts with Newark being the center, this is just east of Columbus. We have a north west section south west section and north east and south east.

Due to the hi-way layout this seems to be the best way to keep backtracking to a minimum. Starting with the northwest corner this would be Toledo going south on I-75 to Findlay at this point you can take 23 south to Columbus.

From the southwest corner this would be Cincinnati and Dayton, those close to Dayton take I-75 north to I-70 then I-70 east to Columbus Cincinnati folks take I71 to Columbus.

 Those south of Columbus may want to use 23 north to Columbus. From Columbus we will join the main caravan and go east on I-70 the next staging area will be I-70 and I-77 for those in the east corners.

From Cleveland take I-77 south to Cambridge and I-70Those in the southern corner take I-77 north to Cambridge and I-77. Those in the far northeast you can use I-77 south or use route 11 south then route 7 from Liverpool to Wheeling and I-70 and join the caravan at that point. I am assuming the caravan leaves Ind. at 8:00 am this should put them in Columbus by 12:00 noon on Wednesday. From Columbus to Cambridge is about 1:45 minutes this should be approximately 1:45 to 2:00 pm Wednesday afternoon and 1 hour from Cambridge to Wheeling which would be 2:45 to 3:00 pm.
