(This is transcribed log from a spiral bound notepad dated: December 22nd, 2009. At this point, I had only been active, day hiking the Buckeye Trail for the previous 53 days)
I am on a journey. 4am, I departed Painesville for Camp Asbury to continue on the Burton Section northbound. There were places, because of snow, that I almost didn't make it up.
In Burton, I had traditional American cuisine @ Cogan's Restaurant. 28 miles later, I looped back on OH-700 but had doubts. Water seeped in old boots on Mile 2. So on Mile 17, new, unbroken-in boots were changed into. I pulled into Hiram College to take a snooze. The people there very kind. 3 miles to the car @ Asbury. I'll have to muster everything that I have left just to make it.

The following are a list of notes taken while hiking. Their date is unknown.
Trail Angels
Janitors at Johnson Hall of Hiram College on loop 27 mile loop of Burton Section gave me hot chocolate and power bars on my departure from the building.
[what happened here was it was late and this hike was more than I could handle (I bit off more than I could chew), so I stopped in Johnson Hall to get a few hours sleep and continue the 4 miles to my car afterwards]
-
He approached me about making it big some day
And I said man, I'll stay right where I am
Cause there ain't nothing wrong with a coffee shop & my guitar
I never had an audience to begin with
Oh well,
It ain't too far to getting lonesome
I've been down this road before
-
Once upon a time there was a woman
And she gave me a sense of purpose
She put the pep in my step
She was the reason I lived
Then she kicked me in the behind
-
I came to the land as the Forsaken Route
But it knew me long before I...
ever had a chance to choose who I was
