   Welcome to Brad Stone's home page! Brushy Land is the nickname for a piece of land my remarkable father, Dan Stone (1939-2023), bought back in the late '70s. It is 226 acres of forested, hilly East Texas land near Athens, TX. It's located near a creek called Brushy Creek...hence the nickname "Brushy Land." My friends and I go out there several times a year to camp, shoot skeet, immerse ourselves in nature, laugh at each other and ride 4-wheelers & motorcycles. Good times.
