189 Airport Dr., Moultrie, Georgia
Per Wikipedia: “In North America, the decades-long consolidation of the rail industry led to the closure of a number of now-uneconomical branch lines in the 1960s. Some were maintained as short line railways, but many others were simply abandoned.[citation needed]
Beginning with a few lines in the Midwestern United States,[citation needed] these disused industrial relics were turned into ecological areas functioning as linear parks or community space, but mainly as non-motorized transportation or recreation corridors for walking, hiking, bicycling, horse riding, birdwatching, etc.
By the 1970s, even main lines were being sold or abandoned. This was especially true when regional rail lines merged and streamlined their operations. As both the supply of potential trails increased and awareness of the possibilities rose, state governments, municipalities, conservation authorities and private organizations bought the rail corridors to create, expand or link greenspaces.”
Small town, Moultrie, GA also has a “rail to trail” linear park called the Babe White Linear Park. The Moultrie Municipal Airport is at the southern most end of the trail. To find “On the Moove”, park at the airport. You will pass the beginning of the trail on the way to the parking lot. There is a sign at the trail that says, “Motorized Vehicles are Prohibited on Trail”. Stand facing the sign. Now do an about face and cross the road. Beginning at the concrete Miami curb, take 13 steps down the dirt/grass path. Stop and look to your left, there is a large pine tree. The letterbox is hidden under pine straw and leaf litter on the back side of that tree. Please re-hide carefully.
