I am a huge fan of this trail and project, I only have about 100 miles done so far, but plan to get to all 550 one day when it is done.  Often times when I’m hiking, I do think about the people who make and maintain the trails, why a particular path was chosen, etc.  So I enjoyed meeting the people behind the trail. The photo is Emily Bauska, events manager for the trail.
