Rail Trail & Old Railroad Trestle, Lyndon KS, May 6, 2010
Rail trail under development
There is a rail trail under development adjoining the Crossroads RV Park. There is about 7 miles accessible from here at the moment. There is a plan to replace this trestle soon with a steel pedestrian bridge. Eventually I understand this trail will extend several hundred miles across Kansas along this old railbed. I think I'll take a walk tomorrow...

Others Choose the Path of Healing
The labor camp in Erfurt and, after the war, the refugee camp in Mainz were all I knew when I came here [from Germany] in 1947 at the age of seven. Like many camp survivors, it was not the experience itself that dogged me as much as the why of it. The why seems clearer every day: those who see themselves as victims, nations included, have license to commit these things. Others choose the path of healing.
