2018-07-22 GLR Tour - Berlin, OH

68th Annual Great Lakes Region Tour

July 22 to 26, 2018

Berlin, Ohio

The Black Swamp Chapter of the VMCCA for hosted the 68th Annual GLR Tour. Members Jim & Helen Haas and Doug & Sue Hanely put together the stops, meals and routes. It was good to see touring friends again and spend time with them in a leisurely atmosphere.

The Berlin, OH, tour in the heart of Ohio’s Amish country was filled to capacity. The friendly people and the shaded, winding, narrow and hilly roads were a great place to tour. Fifty-three cars with 104 people made it a ‘just right’ size outing. (Article & pictures submitted by Dave Plassman)
