Hey there, neighbor! Thanks for the reply. I'll look into the trailer idea, for sure. I'd actually considered the idea of a trailer, but indeed it is expensive. I know three people in Fayetteville that haul trailers just for getting around town with groceries and/or work. They really like using'em, too. Hmmm.....just depends on what I can financially swing. We'll see........

Say, if everything goes well for my buddy and I (considering our respective lines of work), maybe we can call on you when we're in the area? We're considering starting somewhere on the west end of Katy ending up ending up close enough to St. Louis where his dad lives. That way we can get a ride back to our vehicle.

We're looking at a 4 day trip and however far we can get during that time. But, since neither of us have been down the Katy yet, we're wondering what kind of primitive camping can be done on or near enough to the trail. Sumpin' we're still looking in to. Any info you can give us???
