Sedalia to Boonville- There seems to be more shade on this section of the trail, and there is just a little up hill and down hill unlike the rest of the trail, no big deal though. I enjoy this section for it's "out in the wilds" feel, as I have said before, meaning that it is more wooded with fewer homes and farms, that are noticable.
You want to be sure to carry plenty of water, no water at Clifton City. There is a store to the left and up the hill from the trail in Beaman, last chance for water and snacks until Pilot Grove. Several bridges, creeks, ditches and river, a few cuts through the hills and a tunnel, nice scenery. My favorite section of the trail for it's diversity. It's a nice ride.
