Six riders from Iowa will be coming down in a week to ride Boonville to Portland, Portland to St Charles and then back to Boonville. Can any of you comment on the tent camping facilities in Portland? Previous comments in 2006 were very unflattering, I would like other suggestions if this place is still a hole. BUK

Bypass Portland and try Steamboat Junction in Blufton or the city park in Rhineland. The city park is free, has toilets and running water, and is the spot the cop sits all night. Nice peaceful sleep!

The Rendlemanhome in Bluffton also has camping and hot showers.

I vote for Steamboat Junction near Bluffton (it's at mile marker 110.7) as well! Wonderful shower house, clean campground, and a stocked honor-system fridge. It was one of the best nights I spent on my solo thru-ride. Just be ready to walk your bikes up the steep hill into the back camping area.

BUK, you Iowans should stay home if your a little scared of the tent camping in Portland. Why don't you just do RAGRIA? I hope you get slapped in the face by a greasy pork chop from the guy selling chops out of the pink bus!

Mr Johnson,

Since you will be visiting the Katy Trail shortly might I suggest a Whitetail Deer outfit? Then I would chuck you into the melee of flying lead at the newly proposed gun range. Those sharpshooting madmen, wild with the smell of gunsmoke in the air, would draw down on you so fast it could only make me smile. If that dosent finish ya, I would be more than happy to give you the coup de gracie bamboo cane job to the hamstring.

Keep your powder dry. BUK
