Rode from Lee's Summit to Sedalia Mo. Stopped at a Mc Donalds for a strawberry milkshake. A nice man approached us about our intended route. Hwy 50. He informed us that Hwy 50 was under a lot of repair, and long waits could be expected. He then said that he was a retired park ranger. He told us that an alternate route could be used to get to St. Louis. Katy Trail State Park. It's a restored railroad line, turned into a park. 225 miles long, it meanders along the Missouri river, from Clinton to St Charles Mo.
I decided to avoid Hwy 50 for a while and "Take The Katy."
Very plesant surroundings. Riding on crushed rock, avoiding Turtles slowly crossing the trail and thousands of moths and butterflies.
The Missouri river is very high with swampy areas all along the trail. I was told that, it is expected to rise to well above flood stage and cover the trail I have been traveling along.
