[RC] Multi-day rides in the East - k s swigart

Truman mentioned that the reason he had no interest in the
mileage and pioneer awards was that these awards go to
people who do multi-day rides, and since there are so few in
the east, that such awards are totally out of reach, or more
accurately, driving distance.

I am curious:

Why ARE there so few multi-day rides in the east?

Is it because of lack of availabe trail?
Lack of interest on the part of the riders?
Because nobody thought of it?

Or because of the prior requirement (which no longer exists,
I think, but I wouldn't swear to it) that such rides needed
to be on "historical" trails, and all the historical trails
in the east have long since been paved over?
