End of the Trail

I'm having a lot of trouble uploading pictures due to the WiFi here so I'll try from Sedalia which is our next stop and the start of our trail riding.

We have finally arrived in St Charles MO and what a delightful historic town.  We're staying right on Main Street which is loaded with little touristy shops and restaurants.  We like it because it is right on the Katy Trail.  We were able to check in when we arrived at 11:00so we rode a part of the trail not included by Road Scholar to Machens.  Just 26 miles round trip.
