Following a four-day Lee's Summit to Washington, briefly, planning ideas to share, in no order:

Use all resources, not only Airbnb. KT, east of Hermann has more trail-side lodging.

When at speed, watch for turtles and small garter snakes.

Take care to not overestimate daily ride plan.

Get ready to be surprised to give and get positive energy and experiences from others:)

Consider carrying a small sack to pick up trash as you go, every trailhead has a trash can, where you can empty that sack.

Text-only weather forecast discussion links, Updated several times daily. Aviation and meteorologist focused, but plain text to understand the trends. For the three offices in Missouri:

Enjoy- you already know you have a great resource to treasure with the KT\RIT in Missouri, cheers! Acoustic Al
