It's too late for my best friend but hopefully no one else will make the same mistakes and will pay closer attention to their surroundings.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01066131475214062575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215143073964620187.post-46527024384950158132013-06-09T19:53:03.772-04:002013-06-09T19:53:03.772-04:00I just returned from a 30 mile ride from Shipshewa...I just returned from a 30 mile ride from Shipshewanna to Elkhart via the Pumpkinvine & Maple Heart trails. I am EXTREMELY disappointed in how this closure is being handled! There is nothing posted along the trail to tell you that you cannot reach the DQ parking lot from the trail. All it says at the CR43 rest stop is that the trail is "closed" 1 1/2 miles ahead (which is the distance to the DQ, implying you can reach it). If the section west of CR43 is going to be open AT ALL, then the suggested "detour route" needs to be posted there. Not in a tiny little sign (literally about 8" x 10") taped to the barricade fence at the END of the dead end. This is really inexcusable. When have you ever been driving in a car, and had to go to the end of "dead end" to get directions on how to get around on a detour??? Until this stretch is open, post the detour instructions at CR43. Please, use a little common sense and common courtesy!GMcCuenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320312934059918704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215143073964620187.post-19119354360295933192011-11-15T15:10:31.539-05:002011-11-15T15:10:31.539-05:00A friend just alerted me to this recent article in...A friend just alerted me to this recent article in the journal "Nature"--- http://www.nature.com/news/the-pollinator-crisis-what-s-best-for-bees-1.9308. The authors write:<br /><br />"What bees need most, the new pollination studies have shown, is a diverse community of flowering plants that bloom throughout the spring and summer." <br /><br />Another reason to support greenways with diverse plant communities!John Jay Smith and Joann Yoder Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10019068973790183022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215143073964620187.post-57751932051326610732011-11-15T11:24:39.298-05:002011-11-15T11:24:39.298-05:00When you click on the Google maps link, you may wa...When you click on the Google maps link, you may want to follow the thin line of trees, i.e., the green Pumpkinvine corridor, that connects fragments of forest from the end of the trail near Shipshewana to SR 13 at the Dairy Queen.John Jay Smith and Joann Yoder Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10019068973790183022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215143073964620187.post-21037067702550082011-05-05T14:29:27.531-04:002011-05-05T14:29:27.531-04:00Hey, but there has been progress!!

It's so nice to have a convenient place to have repairs done and/or purchase supplies and equipment. We're trying to create as many family activities as possible, and this makes it easier. Thanks again!<br /><br />Abigail<br /><a href="http://www.comfortablefoot.com" rel="nofollow">Comfortablefoot</a>Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16093575033351346547noreply@blogger.com
