I discovered an interesting solution in my quest to bike to Warm Springs Ranch from the trail. Drew's Guide Service, based in Rocheport (http://www.missouriboatworks.com/bio.htm). He picked up our team of 6 under the Rocheport bridge and ferried us, bikes, and panniers across the MO River to Taylor Landing (near the I-70 bridge). We split the group into half and Drew made two trips, but this was very convenient and added another adventure to our ride. From there it is a short bike ride up the hill to the Warm Springs Ranch. We later rode on into Boonville, via public road, to re-join the KATY.
