The 4th Annual Tractor Drive of the Old Steam & Gas Club Inc was held on Sunday, August 7, 2011. Everyone met at Gaumer Park at 8 AM to register and line up. The drive began precisely at 9 AM heading north on Route 208 (Dresden Adamsville Road) turning right onto Edgemoor Road, right onto Castor Road, left on Wolfe Lane, right onto Route 83 (Friendship Drive) just north of Otsego. We stopped at Blackstone's Bloom Field Park for a delicious potluck lunch and break.

    After lunch we continued south to Norfield Road, right on Knipe Road to Doverspike Drive to French Road and back onto Route 93 ending up at Gaumer Park in Adamsville around 2 PM.  This was a 28.2 mile drive through some of Muskingum County's beautiful rolling hill country.
