    Brent and Amy Anslinger set out in 2003 to hike around Ohio on the Buckeye Trail to celebrate Ohio’s bicentennial. From the rolling hills of southern Ohio to the urban landscape of larger cities and the quaint small towns in between, the Buckeye Trail connects Ohio in a way that few experiences can.
