Rails to Trails

Greetings! Rabbits small and large zipped along in front and alongside of me. The furry little creatures appeared quite comfortable to feed and frolic with the intermittent foot traffic on the path that cut through their natural habitat. Squirrels busied themselves and a cat sat patiently in a field waiting for what I suspect would be breakfast. I relished watching the animals going about their daily routines, just as I was doing mine, only in a place far from home. I was out for my morning run on a trail the City of West Sacramento had converted from rail road tracks to a very nice exercise path.

Drivers in the area had the same calm attitude as the animals. People happily yielded when the path crossed streets. Several folks were using the path early in the day and many more around 7:00 am when Shannan and I returned for a walk. During the walk we took note of the row of black berry bushes lining much of the path. Shannan grew nostalgic at the sight. She snapped a couple of pictures and snagged a ripe berry. The latter really took her back to summer days of her youth.

The time and resources of the administrators and planners of West Sacramento were well spent on this Rails to Trails program. Thank you!

Skate. Bike. Walk. Run!
