I would probably come back through northern Mo, nice rolling farmland, or through the Ozarks. Your experience?
About the closest "good" campgrounds to STL are Klondike and Marthasville.
Have you heard anymore about the new stretch they're building?
I've never done it, but I think stealth camping would be quite easy.
I regularly ride Black Walnut to St. Charles, get in a couple of loops on Bangert Island, grab a snack or lunch, then ride back to Black Walnut.
