Tell Us... In May, we asked you to tell us how you use your local rail-trails for a greener commute. Whether saving money, enjoying wildlife and the scenery, running errands or decompressing after a day's work, these trail users found their chores more fun, and their commutes more refreshing.

Next Month...How do you beat the summer heat and stay cool on rail-trails? Do you wear specialized clothing to hide from the sun? Or maybe you use the trails to reach rivers and lakes to take a dip or enjoy other water sports? Whatever your trick, we'd love to hear about it. E-mail Karl at karl@railstotrails.org to share your stories.
