​

Good morning, Muskingum County. One foot in front of the other—1,444 miles worth, to be exact. Sarah Howard has joined an exclusive club of just 200 people who've conquered Ohio's epic Buckeye Trail, completing her five-year section-hiking journey at Headlands Beach State Park. The Waynesville resident's remarkable feat through extreme weather conditions and 10-20 mile segments reminds us that some of life's greatest adventures unfold right here in the Buckeye State.

While Howard blazed trails, local governance continues its steady pace with numerous public meetings scheduled across Hocking County through mid-November. Meanwhile, Ohio's roadways tell a more sobering tale, with the Highway Patrol responding to four crashes in just 48 hours across the region. From overturned vehicles to rear-end collisions, these incidents serve as stark reminders to maintain vigilance behind the wheel as we navigate our beautiful autumn landscape.
