The
northern section (north of the town of Cadiz) of this route
is comprised mainly of sweepers … pavement is good, some
tar snakes in the area. The southern section is comprised
of sweepers that run in to very twisty, down and up hill
runs. Watch out for wildlife on the road!

Start
by finding State Rt. 9 in Downtown Salem Ohio. Salem
Ohio is about 35 miles south east of Akron Ohio. Take
Rt. 9 (or what is called "Newgarden Ave." in Salem) south
and stay on Route 9 about 85 miles all the way to the very
small town of Armstrong Mills Ohio. From here the route
I'm describing is done but you can choose to either turn
left (east) on 148 will take you to Powhaton Point on the
Ohio river or right on 148 (west) will take you to Barnesville
(from there state route 800 will run you north up to I-70
if you are in a hurry to get back to wherever you came from).
