| Strut your stuff on the nearest trail this Thanksgiving. |
Have you noticed our November survey?
During this season of Thanksgiving, what do you have to be thankful for?
Of course our poll has a wee bit of a trails slant. So take a look at the eight choices to the left of this blog and choose one or more.
Enjoy this week of giving thanks!!

“Rail trails are one of the great ideas of the century, in my book.” – a year of getting up blog
 |
| Great Allegheny Passage trail in Pennsylvania |
It’s nice to find someone else out there who appreciates rail trails as much as I do. If you want to see some great fall color pictures on an awesome looking rail-trail, visit the AYearofForgetting blog and look for the November 14 post.
You dog lovers will also enjoy the pictures as it has one huge puppy in it.
I’m not sure what rail trail is featured in the blog post, but I don’t think it’s the Great Allegheny Passage trail. Although since I only rode the Connellsville to Cumberland portion, it may have been on part of the trail between Philly and Connellsville.

You’ve all heard of the Aztec Calendars and the Stonehenge link to the solstice.
But there may be some ancient calendars much closer to home.
 |
| Trails bring history to life. |
For example, at the Fort Ancient state park, the Hopewell civilization created their own prehistoric calendar using earthen walls.
And now for the best part. These 2,000 year old calendars are located adjacent to the Little Miami Scenic Trail, about 30 miles from the southern terminus.
The Ohio Historical Society is offering a special morning tour at 7:30 on December 19.

I love trails (as you already know), and I love islands.
So I am particularly interested in finding great trails on … (you guessed it)… islands.
 |
| I wonder how the biking would be on this island? |
I recently found this article on the Waitukubuli National Trail in Dominica.
I also found a great hiking blog about it that includes great video and textual information.
Please send me your recommendations for great island trails. I’d also like to hear about fun, safe biking experiences on islands, even if they’re not on trails.
