7/6/2025 Akron pt17 to pt23

Joined by Jess, Katie, Erin, and Kim.

Last minute my plans were cancelled so my backup plan was to join an existing scheduled Little Loop hike and add some Akron Friday and Sunday if I could find some interest.  

The last of my plan around the Little Loop event. This went from outside suburbs to downtown Akron. Some lovely Murals and peaceful parks to travel through.

After this hike we went to Belgrade Gardens to try a local treat called Barberton Chicken. Some also went further to Skoops for ice-cream.
