[Cookerhiker]

section hiking the katy trail have been for a month

its a beautiful trail .no mountains but i get to see some wonderful views ,and learn what lewis and clarks journey must have looked like.very friendly people and its by the missouri river.weve had six thenths of rain since april so im waiting for some rain before doing the ozark trail this fall/winter.

What's normally the best time of year to cycle the Katy? I'm guessing late April, May, October, early November?

I hiked 46 miles on the Ozark Trail last March.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh, don't say the BS word, people here get crazy. Cool, I ref at TP all the time. Was stationed at Lejeune with a guy from Katonah, he lives in Wappinger Falls now, I go see him when I work at Milbrook School. I've walked north of there, but never south. So tommorrow HB and I are headed there to train for his Maine walk. So WOO and 'Socks will be watching the Cafe, keep E-4 off the wall.

No Blazing is +4 on the "Real Hiker Scale"

Well, I guess my daughter and I might be Real Hikers, then, even if we are Clueless Weekenders. We made it up Rusk and back again. We were wet as anything, with soaking fog that got in everything. The prickers were something awful, every square inch of exposed skin got torn up. Breaking through the brambles took a lot longer than we anticipated, and we wound up bivouacking on East Rusk at about 3100 feet - which is a pretty grim place to crash. What with one thing and another, we decided to leave SW Hunter for another trip. But we bagged one trailless peak - without anyone showing us the way.

I inadvertently gave my daughter a trail name. We were tracking another hiker back down, and she unexpectedly turned out to be good at it! At one point where I didn't see an obvious track, I asked her, "which way now, hawkeye?" She likes it.
