I walk L&C some times and I have seen people pushing bikes before. No biggie. I 
just think that the trail is too dangerous in some parts to ride. I wouldn't 
sweat it...

  - Well, the quote was "bikes not allowed". I don't think it said anything 
about riding them. I really don't know what the actual rule says. Just going by 
the original note. Don't know for sure, but it might be like getting caught out 
in the woods with a loaded rifle during hunting season and no hunting license 
or deer tag. Just saying you had it out for a walk isn't going to keep you out 
of trouble.

    I was wondering if I could have gotten in trouble for just walking my bike 
on the trail.  I needed to exit from the 94 side to go to my bank at K and 40 
and wanted to arrive and enter from Katy trail to be safer in dusk hours.  What 
do you think? I never rode it until the parking lot.

Great hikes.  The newer caches are on the 8 mile section of the trail but there 
are ways to hike to make it shorter.  It truly is a great area with spectacular 
views of the Missouri River.  A great example were the journey to the cache is 
the best part!
