Has anyone overnighted at the state-operated hostel facility in Tebbetts?

I rode the trail back on Memorial weekend and after a long day of riding on my second day this was a great place to stay and get refreshed after sleeping on the ground in a tent the night before.

The hostel is for showering and sleeping, like a bunkhouse, and for working on bikes, if needed. It's like camping inside with a a roof, running hot water with a shower, heat, and air-conditioning. Since it is cleaned by its patrons, some do it better than others.

The thick foam mattresses are laminated with heavy clear plastic. You'll need your own bedding. The shelter also has a fridge with freezer, a microwave, coffee pots, picnic tables, and some parlor games. Location: on the north side of the trail in Tebbetts, MO, 13-miles east of Jeff City. The door key hangs on a utility pole outside. Only require you donate $5.00 in a donation box inside or mail it in an envelope. Enjoy your ride!
