We walked through Clifton "City", MO yesterday (4-15-09) and it is one of the most
depressing, disheveld, untidy villages we have ever seen. Piles of litter alongside the trail,
etc. The residents should be ashamed. And the circular barn and graveyard described in
the Katy guide was nowhere to be seen. We continued to enjoy our walk as soon as Clifton
"City" disappeared behind us. Reg Edwards

One of the things that makes the trail interesting to me (besides the varied scenery and wildlife) is the different ways-of-life encountered along the trail. Some of the ones I've noticed include farmers (big & small); hill-types; fishermen; river-rogues; next-to-the-river dwellings; back-woods and/or redneck types; "Deliverance-movie" types; small-villagers; banjo-and-clogger types, winery-wino types, isolated businesses and homes, ethnic groups, friendly-or-unfriendly types, city-or-townie-people and so forth. Even the farm homes on the flatlands are different than those located on the shoulders of the river-valley. And some of the hamlets and villages seem to be doing better than others.

While Clifton City may not be the most scenic little town, one of its citizens saved my trip last fall. He lives just up the hill from the church and if you happen to limp into town with some bike trouble he is more than happy to help out. Thanks again, Al!

I rode from Sedalia to New Franklin a couple of Fridays ago. I stopped in Clifton City also. It was kinda scary. I asked a guy if i could get a soda anywhere. He pointed to a garage. They had cold soda in a big freezer. It was great! The guys were really nice. Could have been because it was 9am and they all had beers in hand!
