Trail Talk: Issue 34: Mile Markers
White numbers are painted directly onto the asphalt surface every one tenth of a mile along the west side of the trail. These white markers begin with 00.0 at the south side of the intersection of the Panhandle Pathway and Main, Street, Winamac, Indiana (Pulaski County). These markers continue south all the way to the present trail’s end at mile marker 21.6, near Kenneth, Indiana (Cass County).
When visitors from outside our area, come to use the trail, these numbers may provide additional help in locating someone. These markers can also be helpful for volunteer trail maintenance personnel in the event of a downed tree or other similar situation. Those out on an exercise routine may find these helpful too in measuring distances covered.
Please locate and familiarize yourself with these numbers as you start out along the trail. Identify and remember your starting point as you begin. In an emergency situation, you may be asked to relay the nearest marker to emergency personnel. This step may help locate you and save valuable time. Finally, please let someone know your location and travel plans before you start out on the trail. Tell/text them your starting point and which direction you are heading.
We wish you a safe and enjoyable time when visiting the Panhandle Pathway. Be safe…Happy Trails!
