My daughter and I just completed the KATY trail from Clinton to Machens in 5 days July 31-Aug 4). We started in Clinton and stayed in Pilot Grove, Hartsburg, McKittrick, and Defiance along the way. We were extremely impressed with our stays at Polly's B&B in Pilot Grove and Joey's Birdhouse B&B in McKittrick. Polly of Polly;s B&B made us a generous hot breakfast and gave us fruit and snacks for the next day's ride, and the washer/dryer sure came in handy. Joey of Joey's Birdhouse B&B made us a wonderful Morrocan dinner (advance request) and provided more than enough for us to make ourselves a delicious, filling hot breakfast in the kitchenette. Got lucky and only had 1 flat between us which a friendly rider fixed for us in no time (thank you Molly!). We had an excellent dinner in Hartsburg at the Hartsburg Grand to balance out all the bar food we had. Had a delicious lunch at the Bike Stop Cafe in St. Charles before riding the last leg to Machens. Despite the trail information indicating there is no parking lot or trail access at Machens, it is only 50 yes down a gravel road from the end of Machens Road of Highway 94 just east of Portage Des Souix.
