We camped at the Roundhouse, but the restaurant was full and a little too nice for our taste. Went back to New Franklin and found the Big Dipper. Decent basic grub.. lunch and dinner till 9, breakfast only on Saturday and Sunday. Go up the hill at the N.F. trailhead, west on Broadway past the school.

This must be the place I could have gotten coffee Saturday morning if I had known it was there. Wound up riding to Rocheport for that first cup... The whole campout at the Roundhouse was not my original plan, anyway, but Boonville was full of bluegrass fans and I could not find a motel room anywhere I could find. In fact, coming into Boonville on the old Hwy 40 from Arrow Rock, I had a hard time finding BOONVILLE! ("City Limits" sign does not mention what city, eg) Transitions always difficult for me, and road-to-trail apparently no exception...
