Used Book in Good Condition
I am on the river often around the St Joseph to Kansas City area. I live in Leavenworth and serve as a river angel here. The absolute best advice I can give you is to join the Missouri River Paddlers Facebook page and start reading. I believe almost everyone who has paddled from the source (Browers Spring in Montana) to the Mississippi is on that page. After joining the page you can set up an itinerary and the veterans and River Angels will pretty much talk you through planning and executing your trip.
I have hosted probably a dozen long distance paddlers as they pass through here. All have been organized through the page. River Angels take people in, feed them, do their laundry, etc. all in exchange for stories and kinship of like minded people.
Also, highly recommend the book by Dave Miller.

If you want to get in touch with people that have paddled the entire river, and don't use Facebook, let me know. I can get you in touch with some wonderful people who would share advice.
