Just a quick heads up for anyone who will be going to Blackwing Shooting Center in the near future. I found out the hard way last Saturday that US 36 is being repaved just east of their location! Think the construction sign said 'Starting 8/6 for 30 days', but we all know how fouled up gov't signage can be in our state.
The posted detour is probably 5-6 miles longer, but thanks to my DeLorme's Ohio Atlas I found a shortcut. The road job sure wasn't helping Blackwing's business that day. Purely out of pity I bought a nice used Beretta Alleycat--Tomcat w/XS Big Dot tritium sight. Darn near got me a SigTac vest, but my 5.11 still has some miles left.
Anyhow, I actually ran into TWO detours that day. US 42 is closed just north of Plain City, if anybody is interested. Again the DeLorme mapbook saved me some miles.
EDIT TO ADD, 9/1/07: According to GlockGal, US 36 is open now. The detour on US 42 north of Plain City likely remains for the time being.
Update: US 36 reopens near Blackwing...

Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!
