Day 125 -- Wright Patterson AFB


I'm about to the beginning of Wright Patterson Air Force Base. I say the beginning, because it will probably take me a day's run to pass it. This thing is ginormous. It's 11.8 square miles, which is 1/5 the size of Dayton itself. (It's about half the size of Manhatten.) About 22,000 people work here (10,000 of them civilians), making it the fifth largest employer in Ohio.

Wright-Pat, eh? Guess you'll be heading down here to Oxford pretty soon. Which route are you going to take?

I told Mapquest "Shortest Distance," so I'm going pretty much straight down, through Greenbush and Somerville. I'll be coming in to Oxford on Bonham Road. A rough estimate is 35 more miles, which is 6 or 7 days of running.
