When does air pollution get so bad it's better not to exercise?

"That depends on how badly you want to go for a run."

Description

This is a scenic rail-to-trail route.  It traverses eastern Wisconsin and travels through four small towns.  It gives the runner/hiker a great view of the farming industry in Wisconsin.  In Maribel, you run right next to a grain coop.  There are many places where you can see farms off in the distance, complete with cows n the pasture.  There are many farm fields growing crops such as soybeans, corn, alfalfa, etc.  Much of the trail has plenty of shade along the length making for a scenic journey.  Overall, a beautiful trail and a great way to escape to the country.
