I am going on biz travel to Scottsdale, Arizona next week...Can anyone out there, or anyone familiar with the area, make any recommendations for good restaurants, etc.?? To keep it horse-related, tell me if there are any neat must-see horse operations to check out! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c...on_biggrin.gif
Thanx!!

You should check out Dynamite Dressage, my trainer has 4 or 5 horses there for the winter...

B&S
Where in Scottsdale will you be staying? I can recommend alot of great restaurants but need to know where in Scottsdale, North or Downtown?? Also, what kind of riding do you like? I can point out some places if I know what you like.I can also be a tour guide if needed. Feel free to email me if you want. xcjumper@cox.net

Maybe we can even have a mini COTH BB get-together one night? http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c...on_biggrin.gif

The Phoenician resort is fun to check out and have a few drinks at.

Having just back to Phoenix after a week in snowy Virginia, I can definitely guarantee you some warmer, sunnier weather http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c.../icon_wink.gif

That sounds like a good plan, akrogirl! I'm in!

**Boots&Saddles** · Jan. 7, 2003, 06:14 AM

That sounds like fun! I will be there in long meetings all week, so I may need to get away from my biz cohorts so I don't spend each night talking *shop* with them. I will be staying near Old Town Scottsdale. I'm not even sure if I will have a car, though...I may be at the mercy of others

**akrogirl** · Jan. 7, 2003, 07:15 AM

Just let us know when you want to get away http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c...icon_smile.gif Transportation is easily taken care of, and I might even be able to persuade Mr Akro to come along if the thought of all us females is a little much http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c.../icon_wink.gif

**Boots&Saddles** · Jan. 7, 2003, 09:18 AM

That sounds great! Yes - Please try to get your husband to come along http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c...icon_smile.gif It's always fun to hear "the other side of the story"!! http://chronicleforums.com/images/cu...milies/lol.gif

**xcjumper** · Jan. 7, 2003, 11:26 AM

Let me know when and where and I will be there. Sorry I have no Mr. xcjumper to come along! This will be fun. Where in Phx are you located akrogirl?? We could carpool down south if we are close to each other.

No biggie! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c...on_biggrin.gif I can be Mr. xcjumper and you can Mrs. Boots&Saddles that night! HA!! http://chronicleforums.com/images/cu...milies/lol.gif

**akrogirl** · Jan. 7, 2003, 11:50 AM

xcjumper - we live in Ahwatukee, so are considerably south of you, I believe.

Where are all the other Phoenix area BBer's when you need them? It would be fun to meet more of the BB gang in person.

Mr Akro and I had the somewhat dubious pleasure of spending a week in glorious Pound, 4 miles from the Kentucky border and approx. 20 miles from Appalachia - i.e. in the middle of nowhere http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c...s/icon_eek.gif We did get to visit Mosby's but, alas, it was the one in Wise, not the one in Middleburg http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c...icon_frown.gif

I'm in Leesburg, not far from Middleburg. I'm not familiar with Pound.

I'm in Tucson but I can make the drive up.

Laura

**Boots&Saddles** · Jan. 7, 2003, 12:56 PM

That's quite a drive, isn't it?? Ages ago, I was a young Lieutenant at Ft. Huachuca, and while I never made the drive, I heard it was a haul... http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c...s/icon_eek.gif

**akrogirl** · Jan. 7, 2003, 12:59 PM

Hi ponygrl - it would be great if you could make it. Maybe we can rope Reefy in also http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c...icon_smile.gif Muley is another one who should be lurking around here somewhere.

Boots&Saddles - you aren't missing much, I can assure you http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c.../icon_wink.gif The area around Pound is mining country - beautiful, but very poor. Mr Akro's sister is a social worker there, so she has guaranteed job security. The closest airport is actually Tri Cities in Tennessee.

Ok then, it's a date http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c.../icon_wink.gif Mrs.B&S it is for the night!

Tucson is about 2 hours from Phx. Not a bad drive either.

akrogirl-Yes Awatukee is VERY far from me. Its almost to Tucson http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c...icon_smile.gif Also, I think Muley may be in Tucson if memory serves. Could be wrong though!!

Anything I need to know to be the best Mr. xcjumper for that night??? http://chronicleforums.com/images/cu...milies/lol.gif

**ponygrl** · Jan. 7, 2003, 02:21 PM

Ft Huachuca is near Sierra Vista which is almost 2 hours from Tucson. Tucson is about 2 hours from Phoenix, but I can be indowntown mesa in under 90 minutes http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c.../icon_wink.gif If Tucson people want to carpool I have a lovely stinky collegekid barn car http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c.../icon_wink.gif

If this does go through I'd appreciate an all ages venue of sorts http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_c.../icon_wink.gif Being of the 1983 variety.
