I am planning on going with the Catch the Katy trip, June 19-23. Two questions that I hope someone can help me with. 1.) Will we have access to electricity in the camp site? For recharging of cell phone, fans etc. 2.) What is the exact location or nearest crossroads of the "trail head" in ST. Charles. On a recient trip through St. Charles no one seemed to know what I was talking about.

Department of Natural Resources who sponsors the ride will be the best place to get answers
to your questions about the ride. I would expect no electricity at the campsites as the
camping is normally in city parks and the like, not commercial campsites. As for the
location of the trail head, there is a map on this site (go to "towns & services" and click on St.
Charles.

sorry can't help you on the electricity thing at the camp grounds, however, the st. charles trailhead is a piece of cake to find. take I-70 east or west (depending on which direction you are going or coming from) to st. charles, take the fifth street exit and go toward the historic district, there are signs, and follow to the katy trail. it is very hard to miss. if you are going west on I-70, you actually cross over the katy when passin the casino after you cross the missouri river on the blanchette bridge. i believe the fifth street exit is the first exit going west on I-70 after crossing the misouri river. have fun, be safe, happy bikin,

Take the 5th Street exit North and get(stay) in the right hand lane and exit at the light at the bottom of the hill... the lane will end.
I find that ou have to be resourcefull in order to find that free outlet to charge the cell phone... sometimes you can do it at a restaurant when you are having lunch... I found an outlet at the city park in Herman last year but we are not staying there!! You just have to keep your eye out for one and get there before I do!!
good luck,
Paul
