Today wa an early start as we got an early wake up from St Charles for the 4 hr shuttle to Clinton where the Katy starts. We were on the trail by noon for the 38 mi ride to Sedalia. The trail is crushed limestone and rides very much like the GAP but is wider and has a firmer base. The trail scenery today was prairies, farms and surprisingly woods. Saw some large lizards or slamanders run along the trail along with some great birds We've never seen. Some unexpected longer easy grade hills lead us to the whopping 955' summit of the Katy. The towns were very small we traveled through and we were glad to reach Sedalia by 5 where we checked in at Hotell Bothwell. Harry Truman actually visited this hotel and announced his bid for the US Senate. Dinner w/ the Pittsburgh crew and we are turning in early. Big 50+ mi day tomorrow to Rocheport.
