4/26/2025 Loveland pt25 to pt20

4/26/2025 Loveland Pt24 to Pt20

As part of my going back and filling in gaps I did but have not tracked.  I created this Chapter hike with that in mind as well as share the event to others.  This would have been the second hike, but winter had other ideas and there was a heavy ice storm the weekend and it was canceled.  We had 5 total hikers including myself.  Kyleigh, Jess, Katie and Erin.


Total 7.31mi

Bt sections complete 14
Loveland, Ceasar Creek, Troy, Williamsburg, St. Marys, Delphos, West Union, Sinking Spring, Shawnee, Scioto Trail, Old Man's Cave, New Straitsville, Defiance, Pemberville
Bt miles 1 way based on complete sections
45.9mi + 55.1mi + 51.9mi + 51.7mi + 45.5mi + 46.5mi + 58.5mi + 53.9mi + 55.7mi + 61.2mi + 52.5mi +60.6mi + 59.9mi + 56.09= 754.99mi


Bt total this year 47.37mi + 7.31mi = 54.68mi
NCT non concurrent this year 0mi
NCT total this year 13.55mi + 7.31mi = 20.86mi
APT this year 13.27mi + 8.65mi = 21.82mi
Adding APT since sorta exploring this a bit now still not gonna say it's a real trail.
ADT non concurrent this year
4.15mi + 7.06mi = 11.21 mi
ADT total this year 21.77mi + 7.06mi = 28.86mi
Florida Trail Total this year = 0mi
Total for year 58.03mi + 7.31mi= 65.34mi
Today is day 116 of year,  not on track for 365
