GRUMPY MOM

I just called up my mom and asked her if she'd send me $500 so I could go on a 4-day rafting trip. I could go into all the gory details of what she told me next, but it would suffice to say that my brilliant idea was instantly axed. Rats. I thought it was a GREAT idea and sounded like lotsa fun. Moms can sometimes be that way though.
On Monday I walked through Provo Canyon on a trail and that was REALLY NEAT. It made me wonder about the Rails-To-Trails issue going on in my hometown of McPherson. Does Rails-To-Trails still have a pulse, or has it been dead for a while? As I was walking on this trail, I realized how neat it would be to have a path from McPherson to Lindsborg. The trail was well maintained and the whole time I did not see one piece of litter. Many people were using the trail, from walkers, bicyclists, skaters, joggers & moms with baby carriages. The path was well shaded, with many benches to rest on. There were 2 water fountains along the path, and at about the halfway point there was a (wonderful! glorious!) public restroom. Everyone was nice and friendly, and it was obvious that the trail was used and enjoyed by many. If the Rails-To-Trails issue is still alive in McPherson, then I'd like to lend my support and see it happen. I think it's a great idea.
Good luck McPherson!
Y'all take care and have a great day! KB
