Maxine Witte is an ardent supporter of the Katy Trail even though, at age 84, her bike riding days are over. That’s why she jumped at the chance to use a new vehicle to explore the scenery of the Missouri River Valley.

Witte sat on the front bench seat of a tram that pulled out of Rhineland City Park on a brilliant fall day on its way 10.9 miles west through Bluffton to Portland along the Katy Trail State Park.

Witte, who is from Rhineland, wore a quiet smile and a Katy Trail volunteer sweatshirt as she took in the familiar landmarks. The covered tram, pulled along at 12 mph by a Chevy Tahoe, creaked passed harvested bottomland fields, river bluffs so close you almost could touch them and tidy German farms.
