@Huntertur: good work please continue to contribute to DYK. I see The trail opened with a small segment in 2000, and Aaron was on hand in 2006 when a larger section was completed. He returned to Milwaukee from his home in Atlanta for numerous other trail-related events through the years. in the source. Bruxton (talk) 23:01, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
