You can see how it has evolved and the notes I have taken or added details with time. Now trying to normalize my format a bit. Mileage where parked between what points what is totals etc

I did not park at point 4 but a parking next to it across the river. I walked down to the airforce museum and back then past my parking to point 4. This is troy section of buckeye trail.

2/26/2022 parked at flat fork ridge trailhead recreation area. This is also a picnic area / parking area right before visitor center. Went to half a mile of bike path at end of ceasar creek section. I turned around to meet a friend that was in town. Got a later than normal start.
Total distance out and back was 7.37mi and made a good pace. This is mostly road walk. The hills are quite steep and heavy lift for me. The one is the path in ceasar gorge and it paved. The gorge loop which leads to the road was heavy mud.

There is a crossing to old road and nice view, from here it is about 1.1 miles to day lodge.

Ceasar creek pt5 day lodge to swimming beach pt7 5mi and a bit further to boat ramp since was flooded likely plus 1mi 6mi total DONE
Williamsburg river crossing, and road walk pt5 to pt8 4.6mi, last one left in list. The road walk should not be an issue. The river crossing I have been semi prepping and sandals looks to be the plan. Maybe a change of clothes.
3/19/2022 Loveland pt 5 to pt 1. Finally loveland section is done. Parked at Walmart and walked up to pt 5 and then along the sidewalks to Eden Park. This is not NCT but it is BT. It is also ADT, which is surprizing since could go down the other way near pt 7. This was one way and uber back to walmart. 6.92 mi
I should go back and explorer some other other ways seen here. Lunken and the park there where the ohio river trail is the further bits of the little miami scenic park.
