I have subscribed to this forum for about a year now and have enjoyed reading all of the comments daily. We just started biking last spring and were planning a trip on the KT this year. After a few months of biking, we were up to 10 miles on a daily basis and 20 miles on a Saturday or Sunday. We were talking about a short 2 day trip at first with a stop at a local B&B. Yesterday, a friend of ours asked us to attend the Peddler's Jamboree with them in May. I do not recall anyone talking about this last year. I saw a little information from last year's ride on a website, but I was not sure how easy it was to get a room at a B&B in Boonville during this time. We also saw that there is a Comfort Inn, but it is 1 mile away from the trail. Has anyone here participated in this? Any advice for a first-timer?
