Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

[Travis] Boley, manager of the Oregon-California Trails Association Association, was joined by representatives of the National Park Service to pitch a continuous three-and-three-quarter-mile trail, which would start in Sugar Creek and go through Independence’s historic downtown district.

It would connect with the Oregon, California, Santa Fe national historic trails system.

Sugar Creek would be the start of a continuous, 40-mile trail in development that would continue through Raytown and south Kansas City into Johnson County, Kansas, ending in Gardner, Kan.

Wayne City Landing, the former campsite of Lewis and Clark and commencement point for pioneers heading west, would be the head of this historic trail.
