Day 24 - Diversion
I arrived in Chester, Illinois 2 days ago. The Transamerica route crosses the Mississippi at this point and continues west through south/central Missouri. I have friends that live outside of St. Louis so I diverted from the route. After staying the night with them, I proceeded down the Katy Trail heading west. The Katy Trail at 238 miles is the longest bike path in the US. It follows along the Missouri River just as Lewis and Clark did in 1804. The trail is fantastic. Great surface to ride on and services in towns along the way. I am doing this entry from a campground in Portland, Missouri. Below are 3 photos that give you the essence of what the trail is like
