I would highly suggest that everyone stop in Hartsburg and check out the town, eat lunch, stay the the B&B's, or whatever you can do to support the town and their economy for supporting the Katy Trail. More details in the Hartsburg section of the forums.....

Jason, I can't agree with you more. We've been riding the Katy for several years & ALWAYS make it a point to stop in Hartsburg to eat @ Dotty's at least once (sometimes twice). We've also stayed at the Globe Hotel. The folks in Hartsburg are wonderful. I encourage everyone to stop in & help support this great town.

I like Hartsburg. Within a 100 yards of the trail, you can get a decent B&B and good food (Dottie's). I especially like stating out early in the morning, on the trail riding in less than a minute. No traffic worries. Smile as I look in the distance at the bridge at Jeff City that I didn't have to deal with.. Yep, going to get me a love Hartsburg bumper sticker..

My mom is so glad she picked Hartsburg to retire to. After growing up in Columbia, working in Johnson county KS, and living in Independence, she was more than glad to plop down in Hartsburg.
As for Dotty's, thats a breakfast that cant be beat!

Please give the Hartsburg Inn your patronage. I was hiking the trail last year and was unable to use any of the campgrounds I planned on using due to flooding. I had hiked over 20 miles in 90 degree heat and was just unable to go any further. I only had the money to pay for the campgrounds that I depended on so Cathy let me have a few dollars of credit that was immediately paid by the way. She was a lifesaver that day so please stay there as my way of paying it forward.
