The Turner Shelter Hostel one could hope would multiply for cyclists all across Missouri and America. My daughter and I were on a five-day trek (her first tour) and in Tebbetts we shared tools, food and stories with two transAmerica riders and three young, local men making their way to Cape Giradeau. True cyclist camaraderie. Jim Phillips was a gentleman and host, agreeing to open to make delicious and fairly-priced dinners for four of us, sharing humor and stories. He even rustled up some coffee filters for morning brew in the shelter. Thanks, Jim. I do hope someone keeps the bar going.

You are so right, Mr. G, I'd love to see more places like the Turner Shelter in places where there aren't B & Bs and other services. And Jim is so good. Does he still have that "electric chair" in his place? Don't sit in it! No matter what he tells you. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
