Currently still, I'm the trail adopter for the Norwalk Section - Buckeye Trail between US-250 and OH-58. So, when it comes to the annual Winter Hike at Findley State Park (which is on OH-58 and BT's Medina Section is routed off-road there), I'm the guy next door. You can see Findley's reclaimed forest from my east terminator, about And until today, I've missed this event every year since I became a maintainer in November of 2010. Well, I've been feeling pretty guilty about that.
I had trouble sleeping last night and when my alarm went off, I touched the "off" button instead of the "snooze" and fell back asleep. Then I woke up late and had to stop by Dunkin Donuts so I could be an "agreeable" person when I got to the park. They didn't have the double chocolate donut that I really like. That donut is a part of my pattern.
Well, I got to the picnic shelter at Findley State Park about an hour late. Then I had to get a few things out of the tailgate and fix my YakTrax to my boots. That took another 1/2 hour. I was lucky to enter the course and earn my patch. I've bought it a few years ago and after missing the event a few times, I was just keeping it was just keeping it warm (I guess). Now, it's ready to sew on.

4lbs of ground beef yeilded 13 meals in Mason jars. I placed two bags of egg noodles in freezer bags and they'll remain there until I go to make a soup. I still have 3 green peppers and 4 onions left. I won't go into Wellington until tomorrow and after I get done with my trail maintenance.
I've been canning today. It always makes a mess. The wheel barrel has been converted into a dish washing tub. Since I've had to refil the 26L Aquatainer multiple times and carry it back, my abdominal muscles are feeling sore. It will have to be refilled once again before the night is out.
A member of the park staff came by my campsite today. When I took over my segment 2 1/2 years ago, I introduced myself to them and she recognized me after all this time. Seems that the Buckeye Trail has a irrigation problem and the park would like the BTA to produce the labor to fix it. They're willing to contribute the supplies. I then referred her to the segment's maintainer.
