They also heard from Jim Cook, Simon Kenton Pathfinders president, who thanked the village of West Liberty for not only allowing the trailhead here but for the amenities they provided, like a water fountain and a bicycle repair station. “We gave them a laundry list of things we need,” Cook said, “and they made it all happen.” (EXAMINER PHOTO | SHARYN KOPF)
