How much money would it take to do the full trail there and Back.lodging food ect.Just a ball park figure would do thanks
 
Doug from Bluffton on 8/22/2012 4:32:58 PM:
$125 a day barring breakdowns. Per person. Could be done for less or more but that would be a figure that you could have a comfortable ride on and eat well. A couple should be able to do it for $200 per day. You could save money by camping but the extra weight and volume and set up break down times mean fewer miles per day and more days riding. Or LOTS more work.

It could run more with much needed libations. Another $50/day easy.

Well said sir! And worth every penny!

We did it in six days. Lodging at B&Bs were a total of $375 and we carried $400 in cash ending up with over $100 left. And yes it was worth every last penny, so much we are doing again next year.

Our trip was end to end. We used a hotel in Sedalia and upgraded to a whirlpool tub in Jeff City. We ate well and yes had a drink or two.

I was curious so tallied up the damage from recent three night trip. Lodging $265, Food $210 and Bar, $85. Incidentals around $20. We ate and drank well. I'd say the $200 per day per couple figure is pretty good ballpark. You can do it for less of course but for $200 you can live quite well.
