This little old man impressed me with his strength and grace across the water... he caught up with our motorized boat!
You can see his pets onboard his boat, there are 4 of them, and you can see a basket full of fish in the middle :)

Santa Fe Railway Depot
Strong City, Kansas
From the Emporia Gazette:
"The Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad Depot in Strong City was built in 1913 for a cost of $20,000. It included two passenger waiting rooms, a ticket office, telegrapher’s area, main office, and baggage room. The west end was used as a freight office.
The depot closed in 1938 and for the last 70 years has served as Santa Fe offices and railroad storage. After several years of negotiation, BNSF donated the building to Strong City in 2006. In 2007, the depot was listed on the National Register of Historical Places, and plans to restore it started in earnest."
