- Society & Culture
From Parkersburg, WV, the American Discovery Trail crosses the Ohio River and enters the state of Ohio. For much of its trajectory through this, the fourth state on the ADT's westward progression, the ADT shares the way with the Buckeye Trail, a 1400-mile loop trail that is one of the finest long-distance trails in the country. This episode explores the richness of that trail, bringing together Don Burrell, the ADT's state coordinator for Ohio and Kentucky, with Byron Guy, the supervisor of the Old Man's Cave section of the Buckeye Trail. They share many highlights from the way--from Hocking Hills, to Serpent's Mound, to Skyline Chili. The episode concludes with a detour to Betty Campbell at the Rankin House in Ripley, Ohio, to learn about the Underground Railroad's legacy in the state, a subject that can be explored in greater detail when the ADT passes through Cincinnati, where Freedom House is located.
