This story features the ground breaking of the "Harry P. Nelson" trail that will run along 3rd Avenue North in Waite Park. Mary Ellen Nelson, wife of Mr. Nelson, was present for the ground breaking along with my representatives of the Waite Park City Council and Park Board commission. This trail will eventually connect to the Lake Wobegon trail when a bridge is built across the Sauk River and the trail is extended from St. Joe into Waite Park from the northwest.

In the fall of 2009, the DigElog Waite Park team caught up with a construction crew that was working on a new new Highway 23 project. As you'll see in the footage, the project consists of sewer, gutter, and sidewalk installation. With some help from Mother Nature, construction crews were able to work late into 2009 and pick up early in 2010. You can see the team hard at work and although it may seem as though not much has changed, the project is still on pace to finish up at Summer's end in 2010.
