I'm still not sure how we all can get in touch some way other than throwing these messages out so that we can actually make contact and work out a time to meet. Any suggestions?

I was just in Defiance and Upper Sandusky doing some additional research from dairies and journals available at those libraries.

That would be good. I've been redoing my bike riding plans for this summer, partly to have a little more time to spend in that part of Ohio this year. We probably won't decide anything until almost mid July, though. I think I have bits of one diary that I haven't yet used in a post. I didn't know there were diaries, plural. Diaries!

I grew up near the trail near Findlay. I drive the route frequently. Quite a few of the participants kept diaries. Please let me know if you all get together to share research.

Didn't quite get finished yesterday (Sunday). Went for a bike ride instead. I hope to get to that area at least once this summer.

As with both of you, I have been tracing the Hull Trace for years, as well. We should get together to pool our research. I am planning to do work on this through the summer. I have also been trying to locate where that Shawnee site is and have gone up and down the valley and treked through some of the hills trying to find it. So, how do we make contact.

This would be "Pimtown" ( or Pymtown) The site is usually considered to be on Mad River. I have no problem with that. However, a friend recently purchased the adjoining farm up on the ridge. He took me out and showed an "Indian Dance Circle" on the top of the hill. A Shawnee delegation came out last summer and verified the site. I would be glad to show you the site next time you are in the "Valley". Ron PS

I have been researching Hull's Trace for several years. I am currently in the process of planning a re-enactment by the Boy Scouts in June of 2012. Urbana to Ft. McArthur, and on to Hull's Crossing or Ft. Meigs Don't be embarassed about promoting false info (the Logan County Historical Society erected a bronze marker, with some of my early work on "Reed's Town" WRONG!!!) anyway, I sure would like to get with you sometime, concerning Hull's Trace. Most of it, I have documented to 1/4 section accuracy. I continue to be amazed by our parallel experiences. My wife and I lived in Goshen, Indiana several years ago. We often biked to Benton, and up into Michigan. I am finding more and more connections with Lewis Cass. I continue to follow your rides. Ronald irick Dear “Spokes”,
