>>  My van and Westy are parked 15 miles from Knockemstiff, Ohio
No post office...US Rt. 50 West of Chillicothe to Jones's Levee  (Rd.)
Right on Black Run Rd.  2-3 miles to Knockemstiff....County Commissioners
tried to call it Shady Glen...the locals tear the sign down...Knockemstiff
signs kept getting stolen too....Only bar/store around bears the
name...Knockemstiff Tavern (very Appalachian in the "Deliverance" sense)
(R-12 on County map guide in Chillicothe Telephone book).

>> and ten miles from Lickskillet.
Again, no post office...seven miles east on US Rt, 50 right on Lancaster Rd.
left on Musgrove Rd. ...no commercial activity...old general store by
abandoned RR track bad.
(R-25 on County map guide in Chillicothe Telephone book).

>> Kinnikinnick is five miles in the other direction (a Shawnee term for
>> wackytobacky).
North on SR 159 to SR 180. General store/quick stop...much more cosmopolitan
than the first two...  :>
