This is a ride eastbound across prairie, farmland and woodlands on the Katy Rail Trail in the State of Missouri.

This segment starts at the Rocheport Trailhead, includes a visit to the McBaine Burr Oak (which was over 100 years old when Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery passed through), and ends at the McBaine Trailhead.

The McBaine Burr Oak was (yet again) struck by lightening two weeks after this ride:
