A social network of avid trail riders and horse enthusiasts
April 23 - 25, 2010
Bring your horse, and come ride the trails of Big South Fork from Saddle
Valley all weekend, and let us take care of the meals ,and planning the
rides. Check in Friday, and ride 4 hours that afternoon and return to
the campground for a hot meal at the pavilion. Saturday morning wake to
hot coffee and breakfast, then saddle up and ride out for a full day.
We will make the whole Cumberland Valley loop, return to Saddle Valley
to a hot meal and some live entertainment. Sunday morning breakfast and
a 4 hour ride around Yellow Face. Come ready to ride and eat. Let us
take care of the worries of what to eat when you get back to camp.
A full breakfast will be served Saturday and Sunday morning, coffee
juice milk bacon eggs sausage maybe, I don’t know about grits : ( . You
need to pack your own lunch to eat on the trail, you can make plans
with Teresa, for a lunch but you need to tell her when you make you
reservations, we will stop along the way for lunch, and breaks. Dinner
Friday night will be Ed’s pulled pork barbecue, with beans and potato
salad, bread and tea or soft drink. Saturday night a big pot of
Teresa’s hearty beef stew and corn bread will be waiting on riders when
they get back.
Saturday’s ride will be a long one, and an even longer one for the “Long Riders”
of “tennessee trailriders.com”. We will make the entire Cumberland
Valley Loop from Saddle Valley, about 20 miles altogether. At Coyle
Branch, and North White Oak Creek, you will have the option of
continuing on the loop and heading back toward camp, or going on down
stream to the O&W Rail Road bridge, it’s around 2 miles on down the
trail, and this actually gets you into the river gorge, and allows you
to cross the bridge if your horse has the skill and training. This will
add about 4-5 miles to the ride, for a total of around 25 miles. I do
not have a GPS, but I’m sure someone will bring one and tell us exactly
how far it is. I have made the ride in a day no problem, but it is an
all day ride, pack a good lunch.
Sunday morning after a good hot breakfast, we’ll ride Yellow Face for a good 4
hour ride that is a little more of a challenge, nothing dangerous, but
some things to make you and your horse think about what you’re doing

$300.00 couple

night, breakfast Saturday morning, dinner Saturday night, breakfast
Sunday morning.We should have a couple of pickers for entertainment
Saturday night, anyone that wants to bring an instrument to make music,
please feel free to do so.
