Tour Leaders: Todd & Dee Tannehill and Tony & Lisa Terlesky
Named as a play on words for the “Freeze your butt off tour,” this tour departs from Canfield, OH. We will travel a short distance to White House Farms – a club favorite on other drives.
After some curves down 1-70, we will make a short stop in Beaver State Park for a “Bio-Break” and then continue on some great Northeast Ohio roads (including 164 out of Lisbon, OH). We will enjoy some curves at a safe pace, cross the Newell Bridge in East Liverpool, OH and eventually arrive at the Mountaineer Casino in WV. The tour ends here with a buffet meal and plenty to do on your own for the rest of the day. For those wanting to make an evening of it – the Casino has given us a special rate. This tour is currently full; email Todd if you would like to be placed on the standby list.
