The Katy trail

Oct 16th, 2022 - Julie Kauffman

Mike enjoying the Katy

Today we rode on the Katy trail all day from Windsor to Boonville. It was a lovely, completely car-free ride. The weather was perfect. The leaves on the trees are changing colors, so it was also beautiful.

During the ride I met a couple who have ridden the Katy trail multiple times and are doing it again. They had lots of recommendations for wineries we will be passing that we should visit. They planned their current trip back in January, and will be staying at some really cool places, like a train car that was converted to a hotel room and a loft in a barn. I would love to come back and do the Katy some time when I have lots of free time, so I can fully explore all the towns along the trail.

We’re spending the night at an AirBnB in Boonville. Apparently it was decided to be one of the top ten small towns in America, according to Smithsonian Magazine. Mike and I walked the Main Street tonight. It was really cute, but unfortunately everything was closed on Sundays.

Highlights

not chased by any dogs
