My husband, my 3-year old son, and myself spent our family vacation biking the Katy Trail. After getting off of the train in Sedalia on a VERY hot Monday afternoon, we rode our bike 4 miles out THE WRONG DIRECTION. After struggling to get back to Sedalia, we had a lovely evening at Sedalia's Best Western. Getting up a 4am the next day, we rode the 26 miles to Polly's Perch in Pilot Grove and did not want to leave. She has a wonderfully restored brick bungalow sitting right on the trail with a beautifully screened-in front porch. We sat there that Tuesday evening and watched as a cooling downpour occured. It was much needed. We was able to meet her dear baby brother, nephew, and Polly's son Dustin. We had a wonderful time. Good food, good conversation, and a wonderful place to relax. Highly recommend spending your night before or after Sedalia at Polly's place.
