I completed posting fliers on Adventurer's Project's Washington County Loop. But I better not sleep on my back tonight because its giving me hell for walking around a little bit in the Village of Beverly.

I haven't completed the Buckeye Trail circuit, but I've been working on it lately and I'm down to 195 miles and 4 sections in South Central Ohio, so I generally know almost everything from traveling in a car to get around. What I can tell you is that the township roads within the proclamation boundary of Wayne National Forest and those just outside of it on the Road Fork and Whipple Sections are the worst in the state. This is especially true after the winter in April and May. Right around June is when township maintainers get done with grating those gravel roads. So, if you're going to be a hiker in these units and areas and you drive a non-4WD vehicle, I recommend that you base your hikes to take place from parking areas that are off county and state roads. They tend to be paved and that should save your suspension. I have GPS public parking data for the entire Buckeye Trail circuit.
As a Whipple Section Supervisor, I originated from NE Ohio. I own a Chevy HHR and sometimes the residents along the section look at me like I'm crazy for not owning something larger. When the roads are in bad shape, I have to drive it like a rally (a dirt and mud track race with Chevy Cavaliers and Subarus) so I don't get stuck in a valley. During those times, I often can't miss a bump, or I have to scrape the engine manifold, or gas tank when the car bottoms out. But I can perform Whipple's maintenance by parking in areas that don't use those roads. But, it took a whole year of being on the ground to devise this strategy.

I arrived in the Marietta area about 20 hours ago. And I've been staying at a hotel on the West Virginia side since.
- More items were dropped off at the supply point
- Before I left, I forgot to charge my power tool batteries, but I got them done at the hotel.
- I set up a PO box in the unincorporated community of Whipple in Washington County.
- I attempted to track the trail from Leith Run Recreation Area to the Whipple Section - Buckeye/ North Country Trail. But I didn't have a map, so I was working on just my memory. And when it got longer than it should, I exited the forest on to Archers Fork Rd/ C14 and took the pavement back to my car.
- I got hiking maps from the National Forest Service Ranger Station in the unincorporated community of Reno in Washington County and found that I was tracking the wrong trail yesterday.
- I did some grocery shopping and I have enough supply to last at least 8 days.
- While I was at the hotel, I a small amount of laundry.
- I realized that my geotagged photos on Google Earth from my desktop computer didn't transfer over to the laptop. This is because the geotags were dependent on the location of the photo files on the desktop. The solution to the problem is to place geotagged photos on my Dropbox account, then create an identical file structure on my laptop and reassign Dropbox's local synchronizing folder to it.
- My toiletry bag has a few items that it did have before and is over filled.
