From their website: [my article]

For the Fall 2009 issue of Rails to Trails, we asked our readers: What’s the farthest you’ve traveled to reach a rail-trail? 

We certainly hit on an engaging topic, because we haven’t received such a flood of responses in quite some time. Many readers crossed several states, by car, plane or bicycle, to reach a trail and then covered many more miles on the trail itself. In each case, the extra effort of reaching the destination seemed to enrich the appreciation of the trail. We only have space for one response in the magazine, so enjoy these extra stories of dedicated rail-trail explorers below.
