Ohio Rt 536 is in se Ohio and runs from Rt 7 to Rt 78 apparently has earned the nickname Demon's Backbone. I have ridden this road several times based out of Marietta, Ohio
Rick CB and Sneaky Fast may have included this road in the rally they led here in Ohio. Third Gear Steve may have videoed it as well.
These are typical roads and traffic density we get to ride here in southern/south eastern Ohio

My favorite out there is 676. What a roller coaster!

Wow, that's a very pretty road! Very green, too.
Come springtime, our local twisty, SR18 through Santiago Canyon will be very green and pretty. I'll have to shoot a video.

Love it.
Always something newer around the next bend, perhaps even a funnel cloud.
Nice flick Ferret.

You’re right! We hit this in the 2021 East Coast Rally, my first time with the group.

Be listening for the scraping of a peg...don't know what timestamp
536 is part of the Demon's Triangle:
https://www.monroecountyohiotourism.com/
Routes 800 and 255 were both under construction at the time of the Ohio rally, so we couldn't use them (sniff, sniff
) and 255 is considered more technical than 536., As replacements, 260 down from 78 to 7 was pretty curvy, as was 26 all the way from Marietta north to route 148 (Ferret led group 2 on that day
). And the newly resurfaced route 147 out of Barnesville all the way to Bellaire had great views and plenty of thrills.
Route 676 is an easy day-ride from our home and incorporates part of route 555 to get there. So many of the roads down near there are well worth riding: 376, 377, 266, 78, and 60 south of McConnellsville to Marietta.
All this talk of great roads is making me want to get out there - come on Spring!
