I noticed some of these small towns along the way centered on their bar/grills... as this might be the only eating establishment in town. They're certainly put to good use by the hot and thirsty touring cyclist! My last stop was SUNDERMEIER RV PARK in St. Charles. Now, no matter what anyone says -- Sundermeier DOES NOT allow tent camping. And they will NOT make room for your tent either. They DO have fair-priced cabins and they were a life-saver in that regards, after the terrible heat we suffered through. They also have a fantastic restaurant on site, BEEFEATERS, and it's something that I would recommend for anyone to plan to have lunch or dinner there as a celebration of completing the Katy Trail. Excellant food and service. And lastly, but not least -- a big honorable mention to B & L SHUTTLE service out of Sedalia. I know "Bob" was super busy ... but he drove out of Sedalia to St. Charles in the dead of night to pick us up and back to the Sedalia trailhead to retrieve our vehicle. You could only dream of this type of service in this day and age (and I don't think you can find a more accomodating price for the service). Well, there it is. A great trail and ride regardless of the heat.
