I live in St. Louis so I'll probably start doing the Katy trail a couple times a year. I need to buy a guide book, but I'll ask you 1st. What about camping along the Katy? I'll bet that stealth camping is out of the question. I hear the the Rock Island trail from KC to St. Louis is in progress. I would probably come back through northern Mo, nice rolling farmland, or through the Ozarks. Your experience?
