Hi!
Just wanted to let you know we booked our campsite (129) for the Airbiscuit Anniversary & Chili Cookoff Rally. Any special rules for the chili cookoff? Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Best thing about the chilli cookoff... only 1 rule. Has to be human consumable! Lol

So we have had a few request the raffle be put in again this year. So oooooo we will add the raffle to the schedule for saturday. (If the weather holds) you can turn in raffle items anytime (just remind us when we are selling tickets with how many items you brought) but have them too us by 11am Saturday so we can get everything set up!

[Airbiscuit]

For every item you donate, you will get 1 free ticket!
Items can be anything from used parts to brand new items. Preferably camping related but open to anything really!

[Airbiscuit]

At the end of the raffle, we will take out expenses for the rally, then raffle off the excess money (hopefully there will be some!) In years prior we have been able to raffle off $68 twice in one raffle and that covers your camping for the weekend!!

[Airbiscuit]

We have picked up some super cute flamingo stuffs!!!

[Airbiscuit]

We will draw winning tickets for raffle at 2pm

This is shaping up to be pretty cool trip for us. This will be our first Airstream rally with the new upholstery and decor in our Airstream. We've also been wanting to camp at Maumee Bay for some time, but haven't really had a reason to go there.

For those national park fiends like us, we plan to check of River Raisin NBP just a few miles up I-75 in Michigan. It would be neat to visit Perry's monument, but I know that is a ferry ride and back and not likely something that we will fit in with River Raisin + rally activities.

Just in case anyone hasn't scoped out the Toledo area, two of our favorites are the Libbey glassware outlet and Tony Packo's Restaurant. There's a big ship on the river near Tony Packo's...I might finally have to check that one out.

We are coming up fromColumbus on old23 ... noticed a lot of roads on google map show as closed in theToledo area.

Any suggestions on approach route once we are the general area?

I'm looking at getting on I75 and then onto SR65 once inside Toledo proper. Noted it goes right past the MASH restaurant that was previously mentioned.

Honestly, perhaps the easiest would be to continue on 23 (not get on 30, 15, 75) all the way to where 23 and 20 join together and then look for 420 north (near Lemoyne). 420 becomes I-280 and will run you right up to the exit for Maumee Bay SP. There are signs for the SP off of I-280, so it's as simple as following the signs.

If you choose to go west on 30/15 at Upper Sandusky, then you will have to deal with I-75. I travel to the Detroit area about once a week for work and I have been avoiding I-75 from Findlay to Toledo as they are widening to 3 lanes in that area. In construction, it is down to 2 lanes, 60mph, and no one following the lane restrictions. I avoid like the plague until finished.

If you choose the 75 route, it might be easier to get on 23 or 90 (toll) east to 280, or maybe 795 to 280, rather than going through town. Check traffic and closure-aware mapping sites (e.g. Google) to make sure roads are open. Might not be advisable to pull the 'stream through town which 65 or 2 would be; even though you will go by Tony Packo's.

Thanks for the input. We are going to use the 23 route you described. See you in a few weeks.
