New Trail Poll
Yes, government money should be used to build trails!!
100% of the people who responded to last month’s poll agreed that tax dollars should be used to pay for some or all of trail funding.
Hopefully Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn is paying attention to our poll. Recently, he said he would refuse to support transportation funding if it included money for trails????
Our next poll is another yes or no answer: Have you ever hiked or biked on a National Scenic Trail?
Below is a list of our National Scenic Trails: (You can obtain a map of the National Trail System from the U.S Department of the Interior.)
And hopefully, someday we can add: Great Plains Scenic Trail
We’d love to hear about your experience on any of these trails. Please leave a comment below.

I've hiked part of the Pacific Crest Trail, a bit of the Continental Divide Trail, and a small piece of the North Country Trail. It's always exciting to be on a trail that you know runs for hundreds and hundreds of miles. Even if you only do a few of those miles, there is a sense that you are a part of something bigger. Thanks for posting, and thanks for the mention!
My pleasure Steve. As you know, I'm a huge fan of the distance trails also.
