Anyone around Joplin or Neosho Missouri

For any of you watching this thread I posted a new one over in the trail rides and events forum for June 4th at St. Joe if you are interested!

[fomocoguy]

I know that the end of May is memorial day and there will be hoards of people down there. The next Saturday would be June 4th; if anybody is down for that I'd be happy to join! With the wet spring so far it should be very soupy with plenty of mud and deep water to play in. We could start a new posting so everybody is aware if some of you are interested. They have a very nice camp ground with showers and such too if anybody wanted to come for an overnight stay, but it could be all booked up. It's a pretty popular place.

that's a good thought stonewall... st joe park isnt very far away ...would the end of may or the first of june may be work for a few poeple?

If I were you I wouldn't be going to Bricks right now. "All that rain southern Missouri has been getting" has caused major flooding, and Poplar Bluff (real close to Bricks) is completely underwater. Alot of the roads and towns are closed in this area. Just don't want you to drive halfway across MO and have to turn around because of the flooding.

Once I get my Hustler back together and the water has gone down, I may be able to join y'all for a ride at Brick's. It's only 2.5 hours north of me.

Just another suggestion but St. Joe state park is a fantastic place to ride. The orv area is 2000 acres and there is lots of mud and deep water, plus a lot of trails if you like. 800 acres of it is "tailings" (basically sand) but with lots of deep water holes. It's perfect for amphibs. Here's a link to the park, but it doesn't do it justice: St. Joe State Park | Missouri State Parks
Here's some vid of me last september. This part was pretty tame but the gal was scared to go to some of the more complicated areas.


I thought more people would know about St. Joe...

With all the rain that southern Missouri has been getting, it might be great timing for a bunch of us to get together for a group ride at that "Bricks" atv park you suggested Bud !?!
Anyone interested

I am, and might be able to talk my wife into going as well.

I'm in Hermann, MO which is just east of Jefferson City. It's been almost 11 years since our very first 6x6 ride at Deepwater. Many great riders have come and gone and even though it'll never be like the good ol' days, we really need to get another ride going. Myself and Tim at Adair will work on putting something together but we need to find a new riding area near Missouri. Deepwater might have been the best ever but it's gone so we need a new favorite. Anyone with info on riding areas can post it here for all to consider.
Mudbug, I wish you weren't so far away but I'm sure we will make it down there sooner or later. I know your terrain will be worth the drive.

If you,d like to ride at an atv park a lot more suitable for amphibs with out rocks and a whole lot more mud and water, river run, atv park is the place. Mapquest says the shortest distance for you would be 392 miles on US 71-N

[greg pinson]

I live in Bentonville, AR, I'd love to ride somewhere where there aren't as many rocks and alot more mud and water.

we live in Adair Iowa full time and Ridgedale Missouri part time....we ride some Missouri trails in our area that are pretty fun, but not super challenging...we also ride in a lot of our local creeks and rivers up in Iowa, and they are pretty difficult but fun...could ride either place or would love to go to new places with new friends...going down to East Texas to River Run ATV park last weekend of this month and riding with friends...everyone is welcome to come join us there also...if you get a small group together to ride, let us know and we would love to come ride to

I live near Neosho mo and was wondering if anyone want to get together and ride. We have two recreation parks near the sw mo area. Have toys will travel. Let me know

Hi S74. I have a question for you. When I was in the service, (Stationed in Ft Riley) I had a buddy that was from Joplin. He introduced me to a cool riding place that he called "Red Clay". From What I recall, it was a rec area that actually crossed over two state lines. Would you by chance have any knowledge/info about this place? My sister lives in Springfield, and the next time I go see her, we were talking about a ride. I was hoping I could take her there, but can't find it. Can you help? Thanks.....Jeff
