9/24/2023 West Union pt 13 to pt 11 and pt 9 to pt 11

8.06mi + 2.11mi =10.17mi total 

Went back to try and get a few more miles in and maybe finish West Union, which I did.

Started at pt 13 and mom drove the car with me in case of any dog danger - I had an escape path. Finished at pt 11 then drove into West Union for minor break at Wendy's then back to pt9 to pt 11. Handed off the car to mom...yikes apparently I was just sitting with the brake in drive and she quickly save the day and put car in park as it was moving. Scary moment for sure. A few dog encounters but in the end they were no issue and friendly pups.

Loveland, Ceasar Creek, Troy, Williamsburg, St. Marys, Delphos, West Union.

45.9mi + 55.1mi + 51.9mi + 51.7mi + 45.5mi + 46.5 + 58.5 = 355.1mi

Second part

First part

The intersection at pt13.

I almost walked the wrong way to start.

I was able to find the area we parked at when I redid some of this with Dave and Victoria.

View down the road.  I got so many pictures of the road.

Farm equipment in this old barn

Mom keeping watch for the dogs.

Such a pretty painting on the barn.

 So few get to see this art out here.

Open view down the road.  It was a nice and likely last summerish day

WHO DEY 

There was this brick wall along the side here as a retaining wall.

View from a hilltop.

Wider view of corner and you turn to the right on 763 as seen later by the house.

The trail marker at the turn

A moment in time election sign.  

This is the turn on 763.

Around the corner the first house here had a loud dog but no issues was in fence.

I tried to get a view of creek

This is at a bridge where you can see

Almost perfect.
