Katy Trail in Missouri

[Thorn]

Oooh...the Katy trail has been on our list for a while. We drove through the area on another vacation and thought an inn-to-inn on the Katy would be fun. Make sure you include one or two wineries along the way (?Hermann?). That area of Missouri makes a wine with a grape native to North America (the Norton or Cynthiana) that creates a really different wine.

Anway, whenever I plot a trip, I look to see where the "pros" go (sometimes I use a tour company; sometimes we go self-catered). There is a company that does the Katy trail--you might want to check out their site (http://www.timbertours.com/HL_KT.html). We've travelled with them once. It is a laid back company where it is the cycling that isimportant. They won't win awards for 5-star accomodations, but they provide 5-start support when you're on the road.

Looking forward to the post trip report!

Thorn:

This is the kind of info I'm looking for!!! Thanks a bunch for the link. I also found an Elder Hostel that does two tours of the Katy Trail...one 5 days long and the other 6 days. The cost is under $1,000....always a plus.

Now...to check out your link.

Thanks again!
