Miata Drivers For Stratton

As most everyone is aware, Pete and Donna Miller -- along with a few other intrepid bikers -- have nearly completed a tour of all 88 Ohio counties on their "Circuit Riders For Stratton" tour. Linda Crawford and I have also been acting as volunteers each Wednesday evening (doing pretty menial things such as stuffing envelopes) and occasionally acting as the Justice's chauffeurs

At our session last Wednesday, Pete mentioned the concept of Miata Drivers for Stratton and charged Linda and me to come up with something. A couple of ideas surfaced. One would be to take a look at the tremendous number of small fairs and festivals that will still be going on this summer/early fall.

A group of us could drive to the event wearing the distinctive "Circuit Riders for Stratton" tee shirts and just mingle with the crowd. (Pete offered to give a tee to any member who'd commit to participating in at least two events or sell them at the very attractive price of $10
each for those who could only drive once.)

Another choice would be for the group to attend one or more of the various fund raisers Eve will have in the Central Ohio area. Attendance would also qualify for tee shirts. Of course, these are not mutually exclusive. That is, we could do a combination of festivals and funding events. The key to all this is interest of the membership.

We are supporting Justice Stratton because she firmly believes in a strict interpretation of the Constitution and equal, impartial administration of the law. We also like to have fun with our Miatas! So, if you'd be interested in participating in such events please send Linda or me an e-mail. We'll total up the responses and see if it makes sense to "drive" forward.

Our e-addresses are:
acrawf9846@aol.com (Linda)
oldbobby2@aol.com (Bob)

Logan County Road Report - Blue Jacket & Circuit Riders For Stratton

Logan County, Bellefontaine, OH, July 25, 2008. Does history repeat itself every couple of centuries? Read this report and decide for yourself!

Fifteen Hundred light-bedecked motorcycles roared down Main Street in Bellefontaine, OH last night to begin the 2008 Honda Homecoming, now renamed Rally at the Peak. We and thousands of others watched the dazzling light parade under the stars and under a garrison-size American Flag suspended on a steel cable 100 feet in the air between two hook & ladder fire trucks.

It was the most horsepower to go through this Logan County community since Blue Jacket, a local Native American Leader, left to fight in the Battle of Falling Timbers in 1794. Just nine years later, Ohio's first Supreme Court Justices began riding the circuit. They may have known Chief Blue Jacket personally.

When we rode through Union county and then into Bellefontaine, Matt Chamberlain, our Stratton For Supreme Court County Coordinator, swung into action. Within 30 minutes we were interviewed by a reporter from the Bellefontaine Examiner newspaper and, then, Pete was interviewed live on WPKO-FM radio!

Today, we road back to Logan County to attend the Rally at the Peak Vendor Expo and to admire and pay homage to the Ohio Flags of Honor that were displayed on Campbell Hill, the highest point in Ohio. The Ohio Flags of Honor traveling display was created to pay tribute to all the Ohio men and women who have died serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. The memorial now consists of more than 500 U.S. flags

And today there is only one Indian Chief left in Bellefontaine proudly sitting for all to see on Campbell Hill . . . an unrestored 1947 Indian Chief Motorcycle that was last used by the Logan County Sheriff's Office in the 1950's. This last of the great Logan County Indian Chiefs is owned today by Matt Chamberlain, Logan County Captain for Circuit Riders For Stratton!

Maybe history does repeat itself . . . . Ride Safe! . . . . Ride On!

Road Report - Monroe & Noble Counties

Caldwell, OH, July 21, 2008. This morning we rode north out of Marietta along one of Ohio's National Covered Bridge Scenic By-Ways, U.S. Route 26, through the Wayne National Forest and into Woodsfield, OH, the county seat of Monroe County.

Monroe County was formed in 1802, the same year that the Ohio Constitution was signed creating the Ohio Supreme Court. Thus, we rode in the same footsteps as did the pioneering justices over two centuries ago.

We were greeted at the Home Town Restaurant just off the Woodsfield Town Square by a gentleman who works in the Monroe County Engineer's Office.

Then we rode on to Noble County and scoped out the location where we will line up for the Caldwell Fireman's Festival Parade this coming Saturday night.

Thanks to everyone we met on this ride in Monroe, Noble, Guernsey, Muskingum and Licking Counties! A gentleman in Monroe County ordered a tee-shirt, and a lady in Noble County requested a business card from Donna.

Ride Safe . . . Ride On!
