Continuous Short Hikes 2016 Document

I just started working on the Continuous Short Hikes 2016 document.  And for the second time in two years or so, I am unable to route the unassisted 10 mile per day hikers around the Northern Terminus in Lake County.  According to my methodology, the 10 milers have a 2.5 mile additional reserve.  And the spurs to and from transit count towards that.  The distance on the Buckeye Trail (some portions on-road) between Bedford Section, Transit Point 28 - N (based on it's 02/2012 map & guide) and the Burton Section, Point 03 (based on it's 11/2011 map  & guide) is 12.9 miles, thus exceeding the 10 milers abilities by 0.4 miles with no way to alleviate that on the map.

With that being said, there are some places where it could be beneficial to have a new camping [including private camp hosts (residential)]/ lodging amenity in Lake County and they are:

City of Mentor-on-the-Lake
Mentor Headlands
Village of Grand River

This page is a log entry and is not maintained.  But this situation has remained so for more than the 5 years that I've been monitoring the Buckeye Trail.
