For your roadies out there who also are fitness buffs, there’s going to be something for you at the Al Foster Trail, which begins in Glencoe, Mo.
According to Examiner.com:
According to the City of Wildwood’s website there are big things in store for the trail in the future. The plans are to connect Al Foster to Route 66 State Park and to extend it beyond Castlewood State Park. Once all connections are completed the trail will become an official segment of the Ozark Trail. The Ozark Trail will extend from the confluence of the Meramec and Mississippi Rivers.
A big map of the Al Foster Trail can be seen here.
In case you didn’t know, Route 66 State Park is the former site of Times Beach, Mo., which was abandoned during the 1980s because of dioxin contamination. After the cleanup, the area was converted into a state park. More about the Times Beach saga can be read here.
After I took the route with my parents around Thanksgiving 07′, I built this web site:
