Parking at Clinton should be no problem. There is parking at the Clinton community center approx. 2 blocks from trail head. You fill out a form inside, the lot is lit and police patrol it some. They will call you if there is any problem or if you pick up your car early without telling them.
I've ridden the Katy Trail end-to-end for the past 8 years. Part of the new Rock Island trail intersects the Katy at Windsor. I've only done 10 miles of it so far.
I do appreciate the assistance. I am changing my mind about specifics because I really think I can meet my Vana White so to speak in the Ozarks (single 38 year old man). How funny will it be when I ride around a town to be named later to find a princess I met previously? I ain't' messin' with doing the wrong thang' though.
Looks like maybe parking won't be a problem in several places. So, maybe just about 50-70 miles on the Katy, then off at McKittrick. McKittrick/Hermann looks nice though not of my particular ethnic flavor. So, maybe I can catch a funny movie there before shut eye. Then I have to work to get to the Ozarks. Narrow, twisty, well-paved roads, and it looks like I'll be doing some climbing. I'm going to be diesel.
