"The first successful "rail-to-trail" conversion in the United States "

Thanks for the pics.

Re: THE CHICAGO TAILDRAGGERS.....New pics 4-29... P-7

First time I have been on the trail. The section we rode on is around 15 miles long.

Good map here... http://www.ipp.org/pdf/IPP-free-map-color.pdf

According to Wikipedia the trail connects to over 500 miles of rail trails

Thanks for the info. I don't know how we missed that when we were there last year. Guess I was so set on riding the Lakefront trail, didn't think to look for anything else.
