Hi:
I am planning a group weekend one-way ride from New Franklin eastward to Jefferson City or Tebbetts.

I was wanting to drive ahead a leave a vehicle near our destination point, and also park a vehicle at the departure point.

Can anyone recommend places to leave a vehicle- preferably free and safe?

Thanks for the input. Jake

How about leaving your car at the parking lot next to Hartsburg Cycle Depot? That is not
quite as far as you were wanting to go, but it's fine to leave your car overnight there without
a problem. And, there are people around to kind of keep an eye on things. I do not
recommend leaving your car at the Jefferson City trailhead as there have been problems there
with cars being broken into and vandalized, sad, but true.

I agree with sbikes - I would not leave a car at Jeff City. Tebbetts would probably be okay. Hartsburg is a good idea also. As for leaving a car at the departure point, I would check with the New Franklin police department or the Katy Roundhouse Campground.
