47 Years of Hiking Sprees
Today we completed our 8 hikes needed for this year's fall hiking spree in the Summit County Metro Parks. My better half and I have competed the hikes every one of the last 47 years. That means the first one was in 1964.
These were our hikes this year:
- Cascade Valley - Oxbow trail: 1.2 miles
- Deep Lock Quarry - Quarry trail 1.2 miles
- Furnace Run - Rock Creek: 1.2 miles
- Gorge - Gorge trail: 1.8 miles
- Goodyear Heights - Piney Woods: 2.0 miles
- Nature Realm - Cherry Lane/Fernwood: 1.0 mile
- O'Neil Woods - Deer Run: 1.8 miles
- Silver Creek - Pheasant Run: 1.2 miles
Today we also started on the series of 4 hikes needed for the 2010 Towpath Trek Hikes. These are on the Ohio and Erie towpath in Northeast Ohio from Cleveland south. The 2 mile hike today was in the city of Akron from the historic Richard Howe House to the Mustill Store. The other 3 hikes are much longer; 3, 4.6, and 6 miles. Easy hiking since the towpath is very flat. Sponsored by Goodyear and the Ohio & Erie Canalway Coalition.

Congratulations! We had hoped to tackle that series after we completed the Cuyahoga Challenge this year. Unfortunately, we didn't complete the Summit County one.
