Good shot of the church


This is where we enter the off road part north of pt 14 ottoville.


Looks nice


Keep going this way


The trail was a bit muddy but welcomed a bit of off road since the rest is all road after road.


This is a lake I think here.


More trail


Geese lots of geese


Good view of the river


This is where we should have popped out at 


A closer view of the above where we should have come out at.  I was trying to get the blue blaze.


Intersection where you turn.


Doing another challenge and I have to take a selfies on each hike.  Goofy looking pic


Almost done.


My car is still there at the church.


This was where we parked and not on the trail.  This avoids the dog warning area.
