Introduction

Buckeye, also known as Darryl. I am on the board of trustees for the Buckeye Trail Association, a hiking and backpacking pro for venturepax.com, and organizer of the Miami Rivers Chapter of the BTA group.

Do you enjoy backpacking or day hiking or both?

Both, although I am finding backpacking to be more enjoyable.

What do you enjoy most about backpacking or day hiking?

Long trails, finding places most "tourists" do not know about, the challenge of elevation changes.

Where are your favorite areas for hiking in the Dayton area?

Within an hour, probably Germantown, Twin Creek, Fort Ancient area, and Clifton Gorge/John Bryan/Glen Helen.

Where are your favorite areas for backpacking or hiking outside of the Dayton area?

Big South Fork, Isle Royale, the Appalachian Trail, Red River Gorge.

  • And I wanted to say thanks for the support and encouragement on the Clifton Gorge hike. It was tough for my first off=pavement trail hike but challenging and had great scenery. I learned alot.
