12/26/2023 Shawnee pt23 to campsite toward pt22.

After the earlier hike in Sinking Spring section. Staged Krista in Peebles for an additional piece in Sinking Spring from Shoemaker nature preserve back to Peebles. I went down to finish an extremely small piece in Shawnee from pt23 down toward but not to pt22. I had gone through pt22 on biggest day hike 2023 and I turned around here. Another day I came out and did some trail maintenance from pt22 going up toward pt23 but did not get to the campsite or atleast had not noticed the campsite. So I parked at the edge of the cliff at pt23 intersection of Sunshine Ridge and Blue Creek rd. Note as well there is also parking on sunshine ridge just up this intersection. I then walked to campsite and then walked to first turn and confirmed via GPS that I overlapped. This was out and back.

1.9 mi total 

Bt sections complete- completed Shawnee

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

45.9mi + 55.1mi + 51.9mi + 51.7mi + 45.5mi + 46.5mi + 58.5mi + 53.9mi + 55.7mi = 464.7mi

nct total this year 272.46mi + 1.9mi = 274.36 mi

Total for year 312.84 mi + 1.9mi= 314.74 mi

Prior hike

Overall between pt23 and pt22 and my position showing me on the curve and where I turned around and went back to car.

Not an official spot.  But hey we in the country and there are many pull offs.

The turn to go off road is seen to the left there is a carsonite and clearly marked turn on the tree.

Such a nice and clean path

I believe this is from a recent work party in Shawnee.  Thank you.  This looks like it would have been difficult in this spot.

The campsite is just off the trail and up on hill.

The view from trail of the hill and campsite area.

The end of my hike today and where I turned around.
