Second Chapter hike on the BT. Only 1 signed up a repeat from last week. He did bring his wife. Walked back to Mariemont to cars. There were many places to stop here for bathroom and they were open at Avoca as well. I'm not sure how many times I walked this piece. I believe it was out and back my first time plus the milford to mariemont lights so part this was 3 times and part this was 4 times. Part of this is NCT concurrent and part is ADT concurrent. 8.70 miles 

Bt sections complete 10 no change

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