forget the googles, not necessary for this. why not go to
bikekatytrail.com as has been mentioned in some of the
numerous threads you've started on the same subject.

it's just amazing! there's so much information on that site,
nicely organized by topic. just take a gander at the menu:

Katy Trail Home | Mileage Chart | Towns and Services | Trip Planner |
Comment Forum | Events | Shirts/Merchandise | Maps

but wait, there's more!!!

you can print off a list of campgrounds on the trail! not that important
really, the trail is only 264 miles in length. you could do in 2-3 days easy.
heck, i bet even a manly studmuffin could almost do it in a week, even
on an inferior steel tourbike!

you can read trip reports by those who have gone
"where no squeezebox has gone before!"

in additional, if you dare to leave the trail, it should be possible to camp
in city parks. for free. and legal! just check in with the shi'rf when you
arrive. if you ask nicely, maybe they'll even open the showers at the
park's cement pond.

and here's a thought....you live right there at the end of the trailhead.
surely somebody in your village must know something about the trail!

if not, why don't you bike out there to one of the access points. there's
a large parking lot just across the misery river, about 200 meters past
the page bridge (aptly named as page avenue runs thereover). don't
fear the bridge. google privacy invasion satellite mode shows the
creve coer park connector (hike/bike?) on the north side of the bridge,
taking you south to the creve coer airport...and beyond.

so get your buttocks out there, find a shady spot on the trail under the
bridge, and gee, i dunno, maybe chat with cyclists on the trail? maybe
take along some energy drinks and gorpish snacks to share while you
interrogate them?
