Hike Ohio Cards - SE Ohio and Mid-Ohio Valley West Virginia

For those of you who've picked up a "Hike Ohio" from the Buckeye Trail Association in the Parkersburg, Vienna, other areas of the Mid-Ohio Valley, West Virginia, as well as the City of Marietta and and other some other areas in Southeast Ohio, I probably put them there.

And I might imagine that you might be trying to determine what sections of the Buckeye Trail are nearby.  They are:

Belle Valley
Stockport
Road Fork
Whipple

In 2000, the Buckeye took over for the North Country Trail in the Marietta Unit of the Wayne National Forest. Currently, the Buckeye is a 1,445 mile circular trail within the four corners of Ohio.  North Country's 4,500mi route from Vermont to North Dakota still travels concurrent with Buckeye in the Marietta Unit of The Wayne.  You might drive by sometime and see that the "North Country Trail" signs have been changed to "North Country/ Buckeye." I just think of it as two highway routes on one road.  And the Buckeye Trail as the "roundabout" of the hiking world.  Depending on who you talk to, it's still the largest loop trail in the world.
