The weather is getting warmer and the area finally looks like it’s getting past the threat of snow — seems like a perfect time to voice support for extending the Shooting Star Trail to the Iowa border.
Only just recently, the Shooting Star Trail connected fully LeRoy (trailhead) to Austin, but over the years there has been talk on how to continue reaching out to other possible partners in trail riding.
There’s been discussion on connecting the Shooting Star with Blazing Star Trail in Albert Lea and Freeborn County and recently serious steps have been made in linking the Shooting Star with the Wapsi-Great Western Line at the Minnesota-Iowa border.
