11/29/2024 Loveland pt 15 to pt 14 Nancy celebration

11/29/2024 Loveland pt 15 to pt 14 Nancy celebration

This was an interesting event for Nancy finishing her buckeye trail hike.  A journey of 4 years for her is now done.  She will remain involved with the BTA and will be an active hiker still.  Happy and sad feelings come with this I'm sure.  We walked the final 4 miles with her and her family.  Then there was a lunch at The Works in Loveland pizza and pasta.  Overall very happy event and I was happy to be there to see her finish.

Side note, last time I did these miles was before I gps tracked this so this was new on my Google map.

Total was 4.34 miles

11/24/2024 Pemberville pt19 to pt17

Today a solo mission and shuttle help from Kim.

After the hike Saturday I drove north and spent the night in Elmore. Met Kim at pt17 in Elmore at 930 and just wanted to finish this out. Dropped off in Lindsay pt19 and walked back to Elmore.  The walk was good and bit cool out today. The detour was not bad. After the hike went to the Speedtrap Diner and had a glorious lunch. Very good.
