About B&B Outdoors

Moreau sits close enough to the Missouri River bluffs outside Jefferson City that fog off the water settles into the low ground most winter mornings, thick enough that B&B Outdoors runs its plow lights well past sunrise some days. Outdoor work here means whatever the season calls for, and January calls for clearing drives and lots before the capital-city commute picks up on the roads nearby. The Moreau River bottomland freezes differently than the ridges above it — slower to go solid, quicker to turn to slick black ice once it does — and the crew treats every low crossing with a little more caution than the open ground around it. What they leave behind each morning is plain and useful: a drive scraped to blacktop, salt down, a path anyone can walk without thinking twice. It's outdoor work measured in winters as much as summers.
