MLH, Thanks for your response. I also spoke with one of the fine DNR trail maintenance men on the trail last week,who gave me the same answer. As we rode on past Boonville, we didn't see any more of the markers so I do believe it is only done by the "western" segment of trail. I also stopped and visited with the folks at the Boonville DNR office. Very nice people who were glad to hear from trail users first hand. (of course I was complimenting, and not whining or complaining about something!) We did notice that the trail surface is VERY dusty with a lot of lime on the far eastern end. To me that just gives it all that much more character!
