5/24/2025 Loveland Pt 15 to Pt 20

Joined by Polly, Katie, Jess, and Erin.

We met in Morrow. We did not know the annual car show was going on. Somehow we got through. We used the city building parking to stay out of the madness. We shuttled to the Landen Trailhead next to the Monkey Bar and walked back. Afterward we went to the Monkey Bar and then Cartridge Brewing.

Total 9.96 mi

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

Never knew about the South Lebanon Little Miami Nature Preserve.  One of a few blue blazes along the path
