4/22-4/23/23 delphos pt6 to

 4/22/2023 and 4/23/2023

Went to Delphos. I planned as over night trip and stay at microtel. Day one parked near Delphos pt7 at the creamery walked toward pt6 and was semi impacted by the reroute in town due to 66 shutdown. But once I figure that out not much issue. I walked to the lock20 sign and back. I also left my map my walk on after I left so about 7.5mi total

The next morning I tried to go to the parking access for the trail but the gate was locked and did not stay later after 815am to try again. So was unable to walk this day.  The idea was to finish out between pt7 and pt5. I have 2 mi each way and about total of 8 mi left here for both way

Bt sections complete no change

Loveland, Ceasar Creek, Troy, Williamsburg, St. Marys

Bt miles 1 way based on complete sections

45.9mi + 55.1mi + 51.9mi + 51.7mi + 45.5mi= 250.1mi

nct total this year   9 mi + 7.5 mi = 16.5

Total for 39.13mi + 7.5 mi= 46.63 mi

500/365 = 1.37 x day of year = 153

Today is day 112 of year, not on track for 500

Near where I parked and by museum the fancy fence caught my eye
