Just wanted to make sure you all knew where we were eating. The room is on the first floor of Daviddson Hall. To get there from the hotel, you would leave the parking lot, go to the first stop sign, turn right. Turn left at the next road (about 1/4 mile) which is Hocking Parkway. You'll go about 1/2 mile, there is brown fence, usually with horses on both sides of the road. You are going to want to turn left on the first road to the right, then turn into the first parking lot. That is the public safety and nursing parking lot. When you turn into the lot, the first building on the left is the public safety building, the one straight in front of you is Davidson Hall. Go to the front of the building, and we are first room on the right after you enter the building. I'll put up a couple signs, but it is a college campus...darn college kids are ornery!
I'm not sure how you'll be coming Nick. If you come from the Columbus end (Northwest) down 33, go completely through Nelsonville, you'll pass Burger King, Dairy Queen, etc. on your right. At the next light (about 1/4 miles past Dairy Queen) turn right, cross the river and take the next right...that's Hocking Parkway. Since your coming in Saturday evening, you may just want to come and eat! I have a few connections at the hotel, I'll make sure they hold your room! (my mom works there some).
If you are coming from Athens (Southeast). You'll come up 33. It will turn into a 2 lane road at a radio station. Once you are on the two lane, you will take a left at the first traffic light, cross the river, turn right...Hocking Parkway that's Hocking Parkway. It's the only light and if you get to Nelsonville (Dairy Queen, Burger King, etc.) you've passed it!
Nelsonville has some cool stuff, Hocking Valley Railroad, some cool art exhibits in downtown (small town, public square) and is only a mile or so from the Inn. Athens is about 15 miles southeast of the Inn and has most common resteraunts, etc. I can give you directions to anywhere down there, grew up in the area.
So, is there anything you guys want information about? I wasn't making big plans for anything, just a relaxing weekend, but if you want information about anything, feel free to ask.
My cell is 740-590-0935 feel free to call or text, I have it with me at most times except during the days as I can't have it in the prison with me.
I picked up the protein tonight, talked mom into the 7 layer salad, picked up some lettuce and such for a garden salad, chips, etc. I'll bring a big cooler and some pop/juice type stuff as well and will have room for you to ice down pop and such if you need to. Looking forward to seeing everyone! Even though I live 20 miles from there, I booked a room for Friday and Saturday as well. There is a restaraunt/lounge in the hotel that we can push some tables together and get together as well, whatever works for the group.
See you all soon!
