Follow the Blue Blazes: A Guide to Hiking Ohio's Buckeye Trail by Connie and Robert J. Pond wildflower Avid chef and gardener AmyMany changes have taken place in the decade since Follow the Blue Blazes was first published, changes in the trails themselves and in the way we hike them. The Buckeye Trail still wends its way around the state of Ohio, following the course marked out by the characteristic blue blazes on trees and signposts along the way. In the intervening years, however, sections of the trail have changed their route, added amenities, or just grown more interesting.
