At The Horse Creek Inn

John, Barb, and Irv, three westbound cyclists, siting outside the Horse Creek Inn (formerly known as the Houston Motel) in Houston, MO. Pony and his wife Eya have owned and operated the hotel for less than one year. With their kindness and renovation skills, they have turned the old hotel into an oasis for cyclists.

Janice and I first heard about the Horse Creek Inn back when we were in Kansas. Hundreds of miles later, I was there enjoying Pony and Eya's hospitality. I shared a hotel room with John, and in doing so I learned that we had much in common. We talked for hours about guitars and music and bicycle touring.


A big, beautiful bowl of pasta.

Thanks again Pony and Eya! You all are awesome!
