Related post for you too.

I think there's a link to conditions on this website, or you can go directly to DNR's site: www.mostateparks.com/advisories and get the most recent updates. The one dated today sounds worrisome. DNR staff do a great job of cleaning up problems, but sounds like they have a lot to deal with. Also, as of 5/23 it said from mile marker 103 to 107 the trail is closed. Hopefully people who are on the trail now will probably get on here tonight and give you an update. Also try calling some of the businesses along the trail and see what they say: the Big Muddy in Hartsburg, Portland has a bar very close to the trail (they make excellent hamburgers), etc. Good luck.

We have found the noaa.gov to be just about the most reliable source of weather information out there. I would suspect from knowing the trail, right now you probably will encouunter some flooding in a number of areas east of Rocheport.

The Peddler's Jamboree is going on this weekend from Boonville to Huntsdale and back. I believe tonight the Ozark Mountain Daredevils will play. Last night Big Smith and the Bait Shop boys played. You will probably run into this event as you ride thru.

We saw several bands. It was great! And so was the weather!
