Wow long drive. I am doing work at a house right off 42 right before you get to Westport, KY.

I can't wait to meet the other people from KY.

 

From the National Weather Service, for Lexington OH:
Friday Night...Partly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows in the upper 50s. Chance of rain 30 percent.
Saturday...Partly cloudy. Highs in the upper 70s.
Saturday Night...Partly cloudy. Lows in the upper 50s.
Sunday...Partly cloudy. Highs in the upper 70s.

Weather can of course change within a day, but fear not.. I'm a Storm Spotter for the NWS here in Louisville and will be keeping a very close eye on the weather there in Lexington, leading up to the weekend and during the weekend.

Wouldn't want to be there tomorrow tho.. they're looking for a 'Potentially Significant Thunderstorm Event' to occur there tomorrow.

Just a heads up weather wise.. Lexington (OH) is gettng a -lot- of rain currently, and forecast is calling for rain to continue through Friday night. Keep this in mind.. and bring your mud gear (if that area doesn't drain really well.. I've never been there, so ya know..).

For those camping, definitely use the tarps on the ground. I know I'm bringing mine without a doubt. With the moisture in the ground, am sure will make for some really cool moist nights.. brrr! Bites that we can't build campfires on the grounds.. I'd want a roaring fire in the mornings with this moisture. Hoping those portable showers have loads of hot water too.

But I am chomping at the bit to go!

 

The forecast link in preceeding post does now show rain Friday night. Here is a view of the section of the general camping area that is near the track, with another section in the distance.

However, the Exposed venue web map shows Scion Village in the infield at Location 16. If that is where the Scion camping is, the infield ground is better quality lawn grass that is not regularly used for camping, and some areas of it get soggy.

 

Thanks for the heads up, Vintage!

FWIW, if you're coming up via US42, the Ohio River Valley region is looking for up to 1.50 inches of rain Friday, and I've traveled 42 up to Cincy before myself. Some mighty low dips along the way. Be safe! (Or, just hop on 71 and be there before sunset :D )

Cya there!

 

We are leaving from LaGrange via 71 at about 5:30 am on Saturday morning. Look for an Azure pearl tC with gunmetal rims and a black strip below the doors.

 

Winghelpmefly is leaving saturday morning from Beechmont Scion, might wanna ask him when hez leaving.

 

[ msg omitted due to sleep depravation ]

Not enough caffine, not enough sleep, and downloading Vista b2 for the 5th rime in a row this week (but finally got a good copy!) ... ugh!
Sorry peeps...

 

If he would answer his phone I would know. I know we plan to leave KY around 5:30am. Hopefully smooth sailing for the whole ride. Now to just get all my scion toys and tent packed up and ready to go.

 

Hey Nolan! I'll catch up with you guys once I get there...I'm rolling from Lextown around 5 A.M.

 

We will make sure to save you a spot and vice versa.

 

Ditto. How many? I'll PM you with my cell number so we can stay in touch...

 

They are leaving from Beechmont Scion a 7 AM sharp...

 

If anybody leaving from Lextown wants to roll with me, just PM me before 5 AM tomorrow...
