We're never at a loss for work — updates, waypoints, new hiker notes. October saw quite the 🍂 harvest! - Author: John Wesley Brett - Tags: Ohio, Colorado, Missouri Keeping up with 6,800 miles is a lot. As a result, Hiking America is never at a loss for new updates, waypoints, and hiker notes for our **American Discovery Trail guides.** This last month has seen quite the 🍂 harvest as we continue partnering with those on the trail and helping plan for next year's class.

That plus a pocket full of **Hiker Notes** Bernie Krausse passed along after passing through – to include **[The Mushroom House](https://www.facebook.com/imhikingamerica/posts/pfbid02f8L6vosbgKVGMCevsVHw62t237xpm7Z3EnQgu7kVPAa6yqNfb5f1wYQKMksiDJr3l)** in Cincinnati's Hyde Park. In **prioritizing Hiking America updates** throughout the year, we first work on those notes and changes on-trail hikers are or will immediately face in the coming weeks. Then we do the more general updates in preparation for future hikers. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/0f/28/0f286572-aa37-49a3-8704-f6d42aa3a69a/content/images/2022/11/btshelter.jpeg) Relatively new shelter on the Buckeye Trail. - Photo Courtesy - Bernie Krausse Bernie is now in the **Scioto Section of the Buckeye Trail** and spent a night in a new BT shelter. **"**It's by far the nicest three-sided shelter I will ever sleep in," Bernie said in a Facebook post. The following updates were made before his arrival on the BT. ### [Segment 4 - Buckeye Trail - Shawnee Section](https://www.hikingamerica.com/guides-ohio/) There are three **Category 4 climbs** through this rollercoaster-like section, and we have noted them on our directions and Gaia GPS data. The **North Country National Scenic Trail/Buckeye Trail** now shows a section of the trail out of the woods and onto a road, and we have updated our data to match. The BTA has issued alerts warning that blazes may be missing due to a lack of maintenance or felled trees. ### [Segment 5 - Buckeye Trail - Sinking Spring Section](https://www.hikingamerica.com/guides-ohio/) Added a few new Hiker Notes to include a new Trail Angel in the Peebles and Sinking Spring area. ### [Segment 6 - Buckeye Trail - Scioto Section](https://www.hikingamerica.com/guides-ohio/) We have added a note from the **[BTA regarding recent logging operations](https://www.buckeyetrail.org/sections/sections.php?section=sciototrail&ref=hikingamerica.com#trailalerts)** near Mitchell Ridge that messed up the trail. They say it is still passable, but no navigational blazes for a short span. ### [Segment 7 - Buckeye Trail - Old Man's Cave Section ](https://www.hikingamerica.com/guides-ohio/) The BTA issued an alert this summer that cautioned about a footbridge inundated by water during flooding and is concerned that it may be compromised. The BTA's supervisor of the segment [**suggested a detour around it,**](https://www.buckeyetrail.org/sections/sections.php?section=oldmanscave&ref=hikingamerica.com#trailalerts) and we have included that in our maps, directions, and Gaia GPS data. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/0f/28/0f286572-aa37-49a3-8704-f6d42aa3a69a/content/images/2022/11/runKansas.jpg) Shawn "Ruk Runner" Whitcomb crossing into Kansas - Photo courtesy - Shawn Whitcomb Meanwhile, **Shawn "Ruk Runner" Whitcomb** crossed into Kansas this weekend on the **American Discovery Trail Southern Route!** ## Colorado South –– ### [Segment 1 - Sheridan to Indian Creek Campground](https://www.hikingamerica.com/guides-colorados/) Added two new dispersed campsite recommended locations. ### [Segment 2 - Indian Creek Campground to Air Force Academy/Colorado Springs](https://www.hikingamerica.com/guides-colorados/) Added expanded Hiker Notes for towns and cities along this segment ## Missouri –– ### [Segment 4 - Boonville to Jefferson City](https://www.hikingamerica.com/guides-missouri/) The Katy Trail will be closed under the I-70 Rocheport Bridge between November 7 through 14 as girders are set on the new bridge section.
