Very cool, and something I'd love to bike on soon!

There is a great bike trail near my house that runs for dozens of miles... unfortunately major parts of it have become scary to ride on due to the growing number of homeless camps that have spilled onto the path itself in some areas.

I've been on that part of the trail at Jim Thorpe, so beautiful. We need all abandoned rail lines turned into public trails.

they recently disbanded the homeless camp on the Burke Gilman, near UW under the bridge, after it burned down accidentally. That was really the only major one actually close to the trail — I bike it weekly.

Beautiful trail, least it was summer last year. The Ballard to Belltown one still is nice, but, gloomy out to do it now. :)
