A little late in here too , but also from Akron-Canton area up North. I saw Jeep Jam in Dayton, but looked more car show than trails fun. My wife and I have run multiple Jeep Jamborees in our JK over the years and often go the Bantam Summer and Fall events in PA too. Sad there's not much offroading in the state that the jeeps are actually built in!
I'm currently driving around Louisville, just east of Canton. Granite gray with black top. I see several Gladiators on the roads here all the time. My neighbor even has one.
