Not Surprised But Still Disappointed
Richmond Slave Trail的点评
点评：As another reviewer mentioned this trail is trashed and unkept. It immediately reminds you of the lack of care placed into African American communities and neighborhoods. Funny how Virginia is full of beautiful well preserved trails and pristine historic sites even dating back to the 1600s. There are so many beautiful well preserved Confederate sites and monuments that you'd forget that these were dark racist times at all.
After you leave the ST1 Manchester dock portion of the trail you pretty much have to guess where the trail continues (take a right past the underpass). I even began to create a justification for the lack of care . Maybe the trail is supposed to be hard to follow? Maybe the lack of open signage is supposed to be transformative and place you in the mind of a slave during those times wondering aimlessly never knowing what's to come next? If your opened minded like me I'd still go and see it this way. I personally dont know if I finished the trail because I was lead down a hill into a trolley graveyard (which was cool but pretty sure not a path meant to be taken). After the graveyard there is an amazing find though which made me believe maybe it was all linked after all. Which if this is the case is very clever on the cities behalf. The Hidden RVA 11:11 portal in which when stumbled upon is a place to pay hommage to our ancestors on whose shoulders we stand.
This is where I looped back for the trailhead because going further would have landed me in another park entirely. Im gonna keep my version and interpretation of the trail because the reality of no one caring enough to clean this place up troubles me. So much so that I am considering starting a trail maintenance group. And I dont even live in Richmond.
Again, not surprised but disappointed.

翻译：正如另一位评论者所说，这条步道破败不堪，无人维护。它立刻让人想起非裔美国人社区和街区曾遭受的漠视。讽刺的是，弗吉尼亚州遍布着保存完好的美丽步道和原始的历史遗迹，有些甚至可以追溯到17世纪。那里有那么多保存完好的南方邦联遗址和纪念碑，让人几乎忘记了那是一个充满种族歧视的黑暗时代。
离开ST1曼彻斯特码头段后，你几乎只能靠猜测来判断步道的走向（穿过地下通道后右转）。我甚至开始为这种疏于维护的情况寻找理由。也许这条步道本来就应该难以辨认？也许缺乏清晰的指示牌是为了营造一种氛围，让你设身处地地感受当时奴隶的处境，茫然地徘徊，对未来一无所知？如果你像我一样思想开放，我还是会推荐你去看看。我个人并不确定自己是否走完了全程，因为我被引到山下的一个电车墓地（虽然挺酷的，但我很确定这不是一条应该走的路）。不过，墓地之后我发现了一个惊人的东西，让我觉得也许这一切最终是有联系的。如果真是这样，那市政府的设计真是太巧妙了。这里隐藏着一个“RVA 11:11传送门”，偶然发现它的人可以向我们的先辈致敬，正是他们让我们得以站在他们的肩膀上。
我在这里折返回了步道的起点，因为再往前走就会进入另一个公园。我会保留我对这条步道的理解和诠释，因为没有人关心清理这个地方的现实让我感到不安。以至于我正在考虑成立一个步道维护小组。而我甚至都不住在里士满。
再次强调，我并不感到意外，只是有些失望。
