As Katy Trail State Park celebrates its 25th anniversary this summer, the Meyers celebrated their quarter-century in business by retiring. Eldon is 82 and Maggie 10 years behind, and they liked the thought of slowing down.

“It was very hard to retire from it,” Maggie said. “We made a lot of relationships. I just had somebody call last night.

“But the Katy Trail made us rich enough to be able to retire.”

In the last 25 years, some changes are obvious on the trail. It has grown to 240 miles, stretching from Machens on the east to Clinton on the west.
