Missouri and riding the Katy Trail

Its always a pleasure to see an area through a native’s eyes. Luckily for us, it turned out that Kris and Neal (both born and raised in Missouri), could join us for a few days to ride the Katy Trail. It is a rails to trail passage that runs about 250 miles through Missouri, often following the Missouri River. Not to mention, they knew where to take us for some interesting and delicious wine tasting. This included a side trip to the charming town of Hermann. Hermann was founded by a group of ambitious German immigrants that chose to settle there because of its similarity to the Rhone River region.
