Yo Dayton, Let's Hike! (20s 30s 40s)

Woodlawn Cemetery is one of the oldest operating Cemeteries in the country. It holds nearly as many people below ground as there is still walking around Dayton (100,000 people) I’ve done a couple tours at Woodlawn Cemetery over the years and can find some stuff but this will mainly be hiking trying to get miles in and cover most of the Cemetery. We will stop at some famous gravesites and at the famous lookout. It’s a little hilly, expect 5 miles in 2 hours at 3mph. Great way to start a Spooky Saturday!

Possum Creek Metropark
* Saturday morning, 10am
* Argonne Forest Entrance parking lot is trailhead
(see attached picture with wooden sign) (if using Google Maps, "Possum Creek Metropark" navigates to the location of this parking lot from the 4790 Frytown Road entrance)
* Pace = 3mph
* Distance = about 5 or 6 miles (extra credit after if desired)
* Elevation = very flat, only three or four mild inclines over entire route

Three parts

1. History! Violet Trail full loop. There are some interesting historical artifacts along the way, and interpretive signs (a bit slower pace here)
2. Prairie! Yellow Trail full loop. Former farmland reclaimed as prairie.
3. Farm! Blue/Orange/Green partial trails. Historic farm and back to Argonne Forest parking lot.
4. (extra credit) For those willing possibly circumnavigate the whole park via the entire Orange Trail and back to parking lot.

See attached map in the photos section, can be downloaded by searching for Possum Creek Metropark at metroparks.org website. Nice to have a PDF file on your phone, though for navigation I plan to designate a lead and a sweep. I will take on sweep at the rear of the group most likely.

Hey all, bringing the hike back to Caesar's Creek. Planning on 5 to 6 miles at 3 mph. Looking forward to it!

(As always will cancel for rain/bad weather)
