We started at the memorial shelter in Fort Jennings pt 12.  The nice thing is this shelter in the rear has bathrooms.

Wall of honor at shelter.

Next to shelter is the memorial hall

Nice info about these fort cities and this one especially.

City building.  Ft Jennings flag is the last one.

Road in the country

More walking on the trail down the road sign of confidence there blue blaze on pole.

Water tower welcoming us to ottoville 

Interesting building of brick but built like barn.

This church is not directly on the trail but it is about 2 blocks away.  Further down I got some nice pictures of it.

Every town needs a postoffice.

Fire department in ottoville

Dave and some nice display at the fire department

You read far out comments they all mention Millies

Just a bit further down. Interesting place did not check out.

We went to see the church

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.
