Brushy Creek in Black MO? We were there in spring and are going for the fall ride in October, on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th!! Its a beautiful place, the campgrounds are very nice, and you eat plenty of good food! Also, the stalls while kind of small for a big long horse like Cleo, are very sturdy and safe. Its a nice place, the trails are very nice.

Can I just drool over the trailer in your avatar? I have a puny 2-horse bumper pull, but I'm lucky enough to camp with someone who has a living quarters trailer similar to yours. Someday, I'll be camping in style like you...

I don't know the Missouri weather (was in St. Louis a few times in August and it was hot. And humid. About melted my pasty Minnesota skin right off my skeleton!) but hope you have a great weekend for your trip!

scrapchick · 08-01-2008, 07:50 PM

yeah, its steamy here in august. this weekend it will be 100 degrees and tremendously humid. i probably wont move all weekend.

Baycrash · 08-02-2008, 07:16 AM

Hi there! Have fun...where are you in MO APHApaints?? I'm way up north in Kirksville...

scrapchick · 08-02-2008, 08:36 AM

Baycrash, do you know where Greentop is? I have a good friend that lives there.

APHApaints · 08-02-2008, 11:07 PM

Thanks for kind words on trailer.I worked many many hours 7 day week swing shift to have it.Now with this steamy HOT humid weater I'm almost ready to trade in on inground swimming pool.Our place is in Howell County.
Today I hosed 3 horses off wet down dog with hose and cleaned up and went on down to swimming pool.OH what fun I had

.Tomorrow will be same feed, clean, hose horses and dog and escape to swimming pool.Its super pool in Willow Springs.Nice big water slide and current water area(really cool)and kiddy pool,sorta whirpool area and regular swimming pool area.Come on down its goona be hot out again.

You BETTER take PICS!!!! Some of us have to live vicariously through other this summer...so I want visuals !

corporate cowgirl · 08-03-2008, 07:10 PM

Yup--we get the crap weather all winter (I can't tell you how many below zero days we had last year) but at least we get decent summers. Today was maybe 80--a little humid, but not bad.

If (ok, husband's not looking, I'm changing it to when!) I have a trailer like yours it better have heat--not worried so much about air.

I'm thinking the great HT get togethers would be held in July in Minnesota and perhaps October in Missouri?

scrapchick · 08-03-2008, 07:50 PM

October in Missouri at Brushy Creek! October in Missouri is beautiful, cool weather, the trees are changing beautiful fall colors, well worth the equator-like heat in July and August....come on down!

APHApaints · 08-24-2008, 11:57 AM

Anyone else coming to Brushy Creek over holiday weekend.Been rainy and humid up some but hoping weather will be nice while riding.

Ike · 08-24-2008, 06:55 PM

APHApaints,
Well, for what it's worth I just checked the long range forcast for labor day weekend.

Slight chance of rain on Friday and then low 80's for the rest of the weekend. Should be some great riding weather.

scrapchick · 08-24-2008, 10:04 PM

We tried to go to Brushy Creek for Labor Day weekend but they were booked solid.... hope you have reservations!! We are going to Brushy Creek for the weekend of October 2/3/4.

Enjoy, its a really fun place, the food is great, the stalls are nice, the trails are pretty nice, and the people are very sweet. Have fun!

APHApaints · 08-25-2008, 05:09 AM

Ya we just called few weeks ago but in 2 days they had opening and first person on will call list needed 3 sites so we were next and got site 14.We are looking forward to seeing our friends(from home state IL) and new place ride/camp.

scrapchick · 08-25-2008, 05:57 AM

14 is a good spot! The barn is nice and its close to the restauraunt, potties, and shower! My spot is #12 for spring and fall rides.

APHApaints · 08-25-2008, 07:27 PM

There's a restaurant? Sounds like you'll really be roughing it!

Brushy Creek sounds like a great place to check out--especially for those of us who quit trail riding for the winter in about October (have I mentioned how much I hate winter?)

scrapchick · 08-25-2008, 08:48 PM

There is a beautiful lodge and restaurant. The people that own Brushy Creek run a juvenile detention center for teenage boys. Kind of a rehab place for these troubled teens. They work with the horses, and they work at the restaurant and other places around the ranch. The food is quite good and the tips go to the boys. We dont tip at each meal but when we are leaving we stop by and leave one tip for the entire stay. There is a website, if you google Brushy Creek Lodge, Black MO you will find it.

scrapchick · 08-25-2008, 08:49 PM

ps, it would be great if some other HT'rs could come for the October 2/3/4 ride!!! Me and Bennie and Cleo would love to meet you!!
