I'm not sure I understand why the state extended the trail to Machens but didn't follow the original rail right of way. There's a mile-long stretch that's currently under water. It will be under water every time the MO River is high. What's the point of building a trail that will be flooded every year? Was there a property owner blocking the original right of way?
