2/11/2024 Scioto Trail pt29 to pt34.

Met Krista and Christina, at Pike Lake State Park.

This was first time meeting Christina for a hike.

We drove to a small convenience store near pt29 where we parked to walk back to the car.

I was unaware, but this piece has quite a few stream crossings. It was a wet boot day not good but survived.

After the hike went to Ponderosa with Krista. It was super bowl Sunday and I wanted wings.

9.73mi hike total

Bt sections complete- completed Sinking Spring 

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

Bt miles 1 way based on complete sections

The evelation

Bainbridge mural.

This is at the convenience store near pt29.

Changing county here.  

I guess Pike Lake is in Pike County.

We started on the road.

Heading into the woods from the road

This was an interesting sign

Krista trying to get across safely

Another stream crossing

Christina walking across. Going barefoot.

Might have been the right call to be honest.

Another crossing 

Very confused sign here

Some part of the trail were not stream crossing.

Here we go again

Forest was just awesome

Another stream

Nice marker. Over all the trail here is well marked

Another lake here. Not sure what the name of this one is.

Going down the hill

Stream crossing

Huge mushroom 

There was a spot on the trail these were all over the ground.

These mushrooms where neat on this log.

Oh boy here we go again.

Seems some trails are numbered and the pole looks numbered perhaps it is the intersection that is numbered to match a map.

I can't tell the other trails signs. Mostly white then red toward the end.  I believe they are horse trails from the condition.

This sign has seen better days

There was a turn just before this sign.  The bt intersects with it.

This was another down sign coming down the hill.

Many different signs along the way out especially 

Yep that's the state park office and lake down there

If you look close the cars can be seen across the lake.

This is right before walking next to the lake back to the car

This is where we parked by pt 29

And ponderosa in hillsboro for post hike meal.
