Some one mentioned the possibility of leaving a car at or near the kirkwood train station and using the train to return. Is this still possible? Does Amtrak have a lot or something? Thanks.

The new Machens trailhead is in and has a restroom but no car access. I drove around 94 hiway and all of the farm roads for quite sometime trying to find a way to the Katy trail. Even the local people in Portage des sioux didn't know where it was. ...

Does anyone have experience or opinion with the lodging options in Boonville. Seems mostly chain hotels but I noticed some were a bit of a distance off the trail. Anyone stayed at the Holiday Inn Express?
