One of our favorite recent discoveries is the Sweetser Switch Trail.
We've walked it, and we've biked it. In both cases, it is a BLAST!
The trail was once a railroad track. This means, it is smooth, flat and wide.
In the actual small town of Sweetser, they have an old train functioning like a museum.
There's even a war memorial.
This is what happens when I try to get a simple photo of Mark and the kids. Oh dear!
This what happens when we hand the camera to one of the kids and ask them to take a photo of us, the parents.
At the present, the Sweetser Switch trail is 3 miles long, and it has miles/kilometers clearly marked every quarter mile. (It connects to the Cardinal Greenway trail, which goes for miles and miles and miles. And, they have plans to make it go farther west towards Converse, another small town.)
From this trail, you get fabulous views of the fields of green.
It runs along a railroad that is still in use.
The kids were loving being on real railroad tracks.
Lena carried Todd for a while. So sweet.
Lena taking a rest after being a stellar big sister to Todd!
The sun set on the silos while we walked. Love that glow!
We even passed this fence with the very cool red panels.
But nothing could compare to this incredible sky.
Just spectacular!
You can bet we'll be back to the Sweetser Switch Trail many times in the coming years.
Love it! Can't wait to visit and see Indiana in person! :-) -Julie
