POTA 2025/12/22: Lone Elm Park

I went back and activated Lone Elm Park in Olathe today during my lunch break. This is another 3-fer which counts for the California (US-4566), Oregon (US-4576), and Santa Fe (US-4579) National Historic Trails. This site was a campground that many people stopped at on their way west.

It was pretty nice out today – around 55 Fahrenheit and no wind. There’s a nice shelter at the park which actually has a large wood fireplace and chimney – it might be fun to build a big bonfire out here and do POTA one night.

I think that a lot of people come to this park to eat lunch, so there was a fair number of people wandering around, especially on a nice day like today. No one talked to me, though.
