Katy did

Need a long run ? Try the Katy ( see link on previous post ) ……. 26. 2 … x 10 ! Thats right campers . Over 264 miles of trail running . Pretty much the whole way across Missouri from Clinton to St Louis .  Its a lot of prairie , so some of it can be a little monotonous . Like No Name key . Or a Jersey Shore boardwalk . But the surface is great,  and there are hills and dales and shade . I think it would be cool to do one of those little jaunts where you do the whole thing …. biking, running …. staying at inns along the way. Today was a good day for a hard 10 ....

Clinton station .... all aboard !

looking down the path towards St Louis ( 264  miles away)

hmmm ... gravel

rest area ?

oops  .... prairie restoration area

the trail , all 264 of it , is a state park

back to the station

I made fun of this a bit but the Keys , Jersey Shore , could learn a lot about what to do with their old right - of - ways
