We LOVE the Turner Shelter and Tebbetts. We stopped there last July during our trip from St. Charles with our kids, 9 and 11, and my father. We were the first ones there and thought we'd have the place to ourselves, by the end of the evening, we were joined by 13 other travelers from many walks of life. Several folks were doing the Trans-America Ride. We had a great time talking to them and dreaming of future adventures. Our kids spent the whole time playing ping-pong.
We are heading out for a four day trip to Hermann and back in a few days. We will be staying in Tebbetts on the way out the way back. The kids are really jazzed about it. We are bringing a new box of ping-pong balls and a few other treasures to leave behind for others.
