Tell Us... In August, we asked you to tell us about the most creative and successful ways you've raised money for your local pathways. We heard from two successful organizers who continue to seek new ways to raise support and funding for their trails. Next Month... How do you tote gear and goods on your bicycle or horse? Do you prefer using baskets, backpacks or saddlebags, or do you pull a trailer behind you? Or have you gone the route of a cargo bike? However you shoulder your loads, we'd love to hear about it. Send your stories to Karl at karl@railstotrails.org.

Show Us... The Brilliance of Fall Color on Rail-Trails! We've started a new Rails-to-Trails Conservancy Flickr group and we'd like you to join! We'll be posting new themes periodically so head on over and check it out. Enjoy the relaxation and fun of rail-trails this fall season with brilliant palettes of fiery red, dazzling orange, bright yellow.  Add your fall foliage photos to our group and tag each with FallColor-RTC08.
