A friend and I spent two days on the trail a few weeks ago. One of the highlights, aside from the wonderful scenery, was a night's stay at McKittrick's Mercantile (Joey Los, proprietor). We stayed in "Joey's Birdhouse" which was renovated from the town's old post office. Great appointments, comfortable bed, food in the fridge for breakfast/snacks and right on the trail!! The folks at McKittrick will even drive you into Hermann and back if you want to explore the dining and drinking establishments. Incredibly hospitable and a great value...again, right on the trail!
