1/200 @ f/5.0 ISO 100Each and every Labor Day my sister-in-law, Sue (not the fudge one), organizes a "mystery tour" for family members that refuse to leave from the day before's chicken bar-b-que. Sue has always been able to find a unique place for the camera buffs in the family.
This year, she took us on Rails to Trails. These are abandoned sections of railroad tracks which are ripped up, replaced with a walking surface and then opened to the public to walk, jog, ride bikes or even horses on. Because of the way they were engineered for the trains, they always have a level grade or the incline is so slight you don't realize it. These trails are happening nationwide; one actually goes from south of Pittsburgh PA to Washington DC!
Our walk was on the Lower Trail, a 16.5-mile trek along side the Juniata River. I didn't walk the whole thing (shocking, I know), but with the encouraging words of my brother-in-laws they did draw me out from under the shaded pavilion at the parking lot and I, at least, stood on the trail.
