Planning an overnight trip to Mokane from Weldon Springs. Plan to camp in the park in Mokane. Any suggestions for water/restrooms along way and in Mokane? Any issues with trail from Weldon Springs to Mokane? Thanks for any insights - first bike camping trip.

Weldon Springs to Mokane is about 69 miles. Since this is your first "bikepacking" trip, keep in mind of the extra weight you will be carrying with you. That's a LONG ride if you are not used to it. As far as supplies, you can pick up everything you need at McKittrick at the Loutre Market before riding the last 24 miles to Mokane. I have never camped at Mokane, so I am not sure of the facilities there. However, there is a bar at Mokane (Muddy Bottoms) that has good food and is very bike-friendly. Call ahead to make sure they are open.
