I was volunteering on finishing a trail promotion map today.  Afterward, I started compiling data so I could compare the locations of highway rest stops, information and travel centers to the position of the Buckeye Trail.  But, I have yet to compile the location of shut down weight stations, nor analyze places with a freeway exit that the trail is already close to.

I'm still working with Google Earth on a Trail Promotion map, which is a part of my so called "playbook."  This past week, a Buckeye Trail Association (BTA) volunteer​ sent me a list of newspapers, college newspapers and magazines across the state.  The newspapers also includes all of the smaller community papers, too.  Everything is in alphabetical order according to location and for a while, I was stuck on the C's feeling like I was going no where fast.  But I just now realized that Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Canton were all C's ;-)), with Akron occurring before that.  That's an audience of roughly that is about one half of the state.

The "green blob" that represents the Wayne National Forest on maps like Google Maps and Rand McNally Road Atlases is known as  "Proclamation Boundary."  As of the date of this log, NFS only owns 28%.

Today, I worked on a promotion map that I'll submit to the Buckeye Trail Association at some point.  I was working on television viewing areas in the state and surrounding areas.  I also finished up the listing of colleges and universities.
