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
