I could not find a Turner's Store (Sept 16, 2004) and it would be pretty hard to miss anything in Tebbetts. However, there was a Jim's Bar and Grill across the street from Turner's Katy Trail Shelter that served good hamburgers and had some general store type items.

Alas, Turner's store is long gone. It closed after Mrs Turner died in 2001 or 2002. Jim's Bar & Grill is in the same building that the Turner Store was in. The building sat empty for one season and there was nothing to eat in Tebbetts. I was sure glad to see Jim's open for business!

Stayed at the shelter next door twice this year and ate at Jim's both times. He has a pretty good pizza too.

The shelter is very nice and convenient. We had a nice time at Jim's next door. We had a chicken alfredo pizza there that wasn't too bad either. A very nice break. Just right.

We stumbled upon Jim's after riding for several miles without water. We were thirsty and hot and on the edge of miserable, then we walked into Jim's about 1:00 pm on a Sunday in June. There were several men in overalls jamming. It was a great time. We forgot we were hot and tired and thirsty and had a great time. The man working filled my waterbottle with ice and water and offered us the Katy Trail book to sign. That stop was one of our highlights of our ride.

I was so sorry to learn that Turner's Store no longer exists, but thankful that a business has opened there. Tebbetts is one of my favorite places. We lived there when the Callaway Nuclear Power Plant under construction and my husband worked as a start-up engineer. Mrs. Turner was so nice to me on my first visit to her store and we became great friends. She was a fine lady who loved antiques and had so many stories to tell. I would go down to see her just about every day. Tebbetts was a wonderful community, we liked all the people we met. Mary Autenreith was the post mistress and my son rented a little house from her husband, Sonny. I guess what amazed me most about was the wonderful soil. Everything you planted, flowers and vegetables would flourish because the soil was so rich. Often I think about the people there and wonder if they or any of their families are still in the area. If anyone is passing through please ask about these people and what happened to them. For sure, if I ever get a chance I will go back to Tebbetts and stop by Jim's Barr and Grilll just to see what's going on.

We visited Jim's Bar and Grill last week on a rainy day of our five day trip. It turned out for both families to be a highlight. The food was good (especially the pizza) and he made us feel welcome and talked to the kids and gave us some history of the store etc. We were glad we stopped in this little town.

I stopped by Jim's on the third night of my five-day ride. It was a Friday and I had the shelter
next door to myself. Pizza was good, beer was cold and the karaoke--every Friday night
apparently--was exceptional. A nice slice of Missouri for the city boy to enjoy.

Stopped at Jim's Bar & Grill and the first thought off the top of my mind was Whistle Stop from the movie Fried Green Tomatos. Went inside, very nice guy...bought a couple of sodas and a candy bar, also took a couple pictures with the vintage model T someone had restored. unfortunatly, we couldnt stay long because we had to get back on the trail.

My wife and I started our end to end trip today in Clinton. We ride slow and only do about 40 miles a day so tonight finds us in Sedalia. I am very impressed with the condition of the trail and the trailheads thus far. However I did see a pothole about a foot deep and a foot in diameter just east of the 253 (dead center of the trail) that had not been repaired since the rain in the past few days. (This is not a complaint just a heads up to those who may be riding the trail soon.
J&K from Drexel MO on 08/29/2006 09:09 PM
Reading your post got me just that much more excited about my wife and I's up coming trip in October. We also plan to do an end to ender {for the first time) only we will be starting at the Kansas state line and riding to Clinton on the first day.We rode Clinton to Windsor and back on Sunday and saw that "hole" you refered to! I am still impressed with how well the DNR takes care of the trail. We often ride the Praire Spirit Trail (Ottawa to Garnett KS)and it is not near as nice as "our" Katy. Have a good trip!!
Pat from Oklahoma City on 09/05/2006 07:39 AM
Rode from Clinton to Sedalia and back over Labor Day weekend and the pothole had been fixed. The trail was in great condition.

There is no car access to the Machens trailhead, so park at Black Walnut Trailhead. (Take Rt. 94 NE out of St. Chas. to Hwy. H, turn right on Music Ferry Road) Park at Black Walnut Trailhead, parking but no restroom. Ride from there to Machens & back, then ride from Black Walnut to St. Chas. Finished graveled from Machens (26.9) to Cul de Sac (34.5). From 35 to 37.5 or so, trail goes from graveled to roughly graveled to dirt and grass path and back to roughly graveled, but even in dirt/grass,trail is still passable and visible. 37.5 to St. Chas.(39.5) is fully finished and graveled again. We are two old geezers, age 51, and if we can do Machens to St. Chas, anyone can! We were still doing 7-8 mph through the dirt/grass, not as rough as it sounds. It was fun!
Geezers on Bikes from St. Peters/O'Fallon MO on 09/02/2006 05:18 PM
Oh, forgot to say that there were not any private property signs or no trespassing signs blocking the actual trail. I think the problems they are having with access is getting equipment onto the trail to work on it and having to take it through private property, but the trail itself is fully accessible and on state park property.

The currant state of the trail is that it ends in St. Charles near the 370 bridge. Parts of the trail east of there are constructed and being maintained but is not officially open. The State is still working on real estate issue that would eventually allow for the unconstructed section of trail to be built which would connect the short finished section near Black Walnut to the rest of the trail. I am sure that if that happened the State would have a big event and celebrate the completion of the "St. Charles to Machens" section.
