Little Loop Challenge
Met Joyce around noon on Saturday for a fast 4 miles on the towpath. This was our commitment to the little loop challenge, an event to hike all the miles of the loop in the NE. About 276 miles but we each take a small piece to get it done. After this we joined Krista for a Massillon hike to get some extra miles and help with shuttling. There is an after event in Stow and Krista and myself made that. This is where the patch is awarded if we are successful.

11.96 miles total
Bt sections complete 13
Loveland, Ceasar Creek, Troy, Williamsburg, St. Marys, Delphos, West Union, Sinking Spring, Shawnee, Scioto Trail, Old Man's Cave, New Straitsville, Defiance
