4/13/2024 Loveland pt1 to pt7 

My first Chapter hike on the BT. Met up with 3 people 2 prior did ADT last month and 1 new but had hiked whole BT. We met at Mariemont and shuttled to the southern terminus at Eden Park. Walked back to cars in Mariemont. We stopped at a little donut shop for bathroom half way or so. Got to see the house and some other things to notice. Second time on this piece of trail.

Bt sections complete 10 no change

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

Bt miles 1 way based on complete sections
