Hi everyone,

I'm planning on doing a 4-day, 3-night trip in a couple weeks. Trying to figure out where to start/stop. Would love to hear your thoughts and advice.

Day 1: Coming from KC, park at a trailhead, ride 30ish miles, camp
Day 2: 30ish more miles, camp
Day 3:Turn around and retrace my tracks, camp at Day 1's campsite
Day 4: Bike back to my truck, head home

I'll be tent camping, and would prefer shower facilities at least one night. Want to make stops fairly close to convenience store/restuarant that is taking covid seriously. I saw a post earlier that mentioned Cooper's Landing was a mixed bag. That was my initial thought for nights 1&3, but I'm re-thinking that plan now. Finally, I'd prefer to start no further east than Booneville, if possible.

Thank you so much in advance for your words of wisdom, I've enjoyed reading all of the great advice on this forum. Cheers!

Park at train station in Sedalia. Ride to Katy Round House (Franklin) and camp. Ride to Tebbetts (after lunch in Jeff City) and stay at hostel (pay what they ask, and a little extra). Ride to Hermann for lunch. Ride to Washington, and take the Amtrak train back to Sedalia. Buy your ticket (Including bike ticket) on line early, so you have it, and so you know What time you have to be in Washington. Your welcome.
