The hike overall
Saw these murals on the drive from Lima and had to stop to get pictures
They were about a block apart.
The other mural also in Bluffton.
We adjusted out hike to be sure we hit 21 from parking.
This is at a corner we turned at

Another turn
A park across the street
This is a historic building. There are a number of markers around the area.
An up close view of the historical sign.
Leaving the road and going into the park
I believe this is where the NCT leaves the Buckeye Trail
We see a number of these as we go through I believe Toledo Metroparks along the river and towpath.
