Terry McGauhey Dies.

The man known as "Mr. Paul Bunyan Trail" has died.  Terry McGauhey died at his home in Brainerd Wednesday.  He was 71.

McGauhey has been working on developing the old railroad bed that runs through the Brainerd Lakes Area into a bicycle trail since 1983. 

The legacy he leaves behind is a paved trail that extends from Baxter to Bemidji.  Efforts are underway to expand it even further.  The trail is used by thousands of hikers, bikers and roller bladers each year.

McGauhey has drawn praise for his vision and efforts from Brainerd to the nation's capitol.
