So would that be NE Ohio? If so, that’s probably not far from my old stomping grounds.
Click the link below, the pink A is where Newport Oh is. See Highway 77. Pull the map straight down, til 77 takes you to Cleveland, then look left, near the number 2 is Avon Lake and Lorain. I would guess its about 100 miles between Newport and Sheffield. The map key is 10 miles per inch.
