she took with her husband, Richard, on the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP)
from Pittsburgh, PA to Cumberland, MD.
Organized by:
Rails-to-Trails Conservancy,
"a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., whose mission it is to create a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and connecting corridors to build healthier places for healthier people;"
and administered by:

a company known for highly trained and skilled guides, a solid focus on safety, exceptional guest services, quality products and fun adventures since 1964.
What is the Greenway Sojourn?
(from the
Wilderness Voyageurs website)
"The Greenway Sojourn is a truly unique experience. Part bicycle ride,
part trail-building program, the Sojourn celebrates newly opened trails
and promotes the completion of others to create regional trail systems.
Through this multi-day bicycle ride on mostly off-road, multi-use trails,
Rails-to-Trails Conservancy brings together trail enthusiasts
from more than 30 states to enjoy the bounty of local trails,
the comfort of local communities and the potential of local trail systems."
