10/6/2024 Pemberville pt1 to pt7.5

Volunteered with Miami Rivers Chapter at OutdoorX in Dayton on 10/5/2024 and this gave me a nice jump start toward Waterville to shorten my drive.

There was hikes by Roxanna Becky VIctoria and Dave nearby, but I was semi dumb and went solo.

My thought was to start early and push to get a long day and miles. Both were less in my favor.

Late start 730 still semi early but not 6AM. Also was concerned as to confirm a ride back and have a safety net with friends, that time was narrowing at end of day, so i chose an early exit versus really pushing myself.

Also recorded with Strava and Map my Walk for comparison. Also starting the gpx mapping.

12.33 miles total

Bt sections complete 13
