The Quest Continues!!

Pat, Lynn and I, who have been hiking the Buckeye Trail since February 2006 reached a major milestone on our last outing...we turned east toward Cleveland. After hiking from Cincinnati along the western border of the state to as far North as the trail goes we are now headed east. Our mileage is just a little short of 500 miles. The photo shows me at the intersection where we made the turn.

It is really hard to believe we have hiked that far. It has been such a good time. From the times it has been just the 3 of us, to times when large groups of hikers have joined us, this has been quite an adventure. I'm hoping for the new year that we all stay healthy, we can get our calendars aligned and make some serious progress in 2010.

For those not familiar with the Buckeye Trail, it is a 1400 mile hiking loop throughout the state of Ohio. It is a wonderful way to see the state and learn little facts about state history that one would never learn any other way. Come out and join us sometime!
