I recently rode the trail from Clinton to Hartsburg. I encountered a very unpleasant experience and would like to warn others. Between the Katy Roundhouse (which is west of New Franklin) and New Franklin, a dog ran up to me and bit my leg while I was riding my bike ON THE TRAIL. The dog lives at a house on the south side of the trail, about a couple hundred yards WEST of New Franklin. The house is a "brownish stain" color and is one story. Hopefully, this will help others to be on guard as they approach this section of the trail.

I see pictures of the turntable and the pit, but not a roundhouse, Has that been destroyed? It
sure would be nice to have the turtable restored. It would probably be very easy to move it,
allowing people to "be spun" as were steam locomotives back when steam was King.

I have been to the festival in the past and picked up apples from the orchard there.
They are soooo delicious. Are there any this year, or did the freeze in April get them all?
I sure would like to know before I come.

Nice shaded camps. Clean restroom/shower, hand driers. Mirrors & countertop, bench to lay clothes on while showering. Drink vending machine @ RR. Restaurant only open weekends. 4mi back to Isle of Capri casino buffet...worth it. (less_than_an_ounce@Yahoo says Hi to the 3 men on bikes we met...what a great time.)
