2. ride East to West since it felt like you rode slightly uphill the whole way (does that mean riding it the opposite way of you will feel like you have a slight downhill the whole way- or do you think part of it was the packed trail making the extra work?)
3. look forward to *lots* of solitude and peace (woo hoo!!!!!)
I'm so excited and happy for you! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us! I'll just bet someone will be inspired and try the Katy because of your blog!

You can go to the Katy website and you will see that it is actually slightly downhill west to east from Pilot Grove. It is deceiving, I know! I think I'm going slightly uphill no matter which way I go. Here is an elevation map.
