this was a great little town. true, there isnt a 24 hour grocery or a shopping mall but if you are looking for that, stop off in jeff city before pushing on to tebbetts. the hostel was great. for 5 bucks you get a roof over your head, a hot shower, a microwave and even a bike work shop to do some repairs to your weary ride. jim at jims bar across the street from the hostel was awesome. his bar/store is only open a few days a week but he works in his shop behind the bar and if you find him, chances are he will open up and sell you some beer or something to eat. when we were there some severe weather rolled through, jim was nice enough to check on us and when things got rough, he even let us take shelter in his basement. definitely worth stopping in and having a ice cold beer at jims. love this place!
