My two high school age sons and I are planning on riding (camping) Sedalia to St. Charles
in mid-March, when they have their spring break. I'm finding that campgrounds are either
closed or at least, showers are closed. I'm thinking of a 4-day ride. Any current info on
campgrounds, or anything else being opened or closed would be appreciated.

Also, planning on taking Amtrak from Kirkwood to Sedalia to begin the trip. Any hints?

thanks a lot, Doug

Doug, Don't count on Amtrak arriving in Sedalia on schedule. Check with the city of Pilot Grove about camping in the city park. It is only 25 miles from Sedalia, but if the train is really late that may be where you end up the first night. If the train is more or less on time you should be able to make it to New Franklin the first night. I don't know about showers at either place in March. If showers are a must you may have to stay in motels. I would definately check out the Turner Katy Trail Shelter in Tebbetts (should work out for your second night). Hot showers and being indoors might feel pretty good in March!

Quite a few of the DNR trailhead bathrooms may not be open that time of year either.

MIght sound gross but I would pack some toilet paper and be prepared.
