Rodeo Time in Pulaski County USA!

Rodeos have been a staple of the American West since the 1800’s. Kids of all ages enjoy the excitement that go hand in hand with bull riding, calf roping, and barrel racing. Good old-fashioned traditions make the rodeo a family friendly event. This summer Pulaski County will host five rodeo events.

The action at Pulaski County’s saddle clubs heats up on June 7th, 7 pm, in Richland when Championship Youth Bull Riding comes to town. CYBR was formed in Iberia, Missouri to give bull riders of any age and young mutton busters the opportunity to compete in a family, Christian orientated association. This year’s “No Guts, No Glory” tour kicked off May 17th at Trail Ridge Saddle Club in Stoutland. Their circuit includes Tipton Cowboy Church (Tipton, MO), Hartville Saddle Club (Hartville, MO), Rolla Saddle Club (Rolla, MO), Iberia Saddle Club (Iberia, MO) and Grove Springs Lions Club in Groves Springs, Missouri. They make a return trip to Richland Saddle Club on July 19th. Admission for each Richland date is $8 for adults, $5 for children 6-12, and children under 5 are free. Featured events are Mutton Busting (6 years and under), Calf Riding (8 years and under), and, of course, bull riding (3 divisions- Pee Wee, Junior, & Senior) with open bull riding toward the end of the event.

Historic 1923 Devils Elbow Route 66 Bridge Reopened

Photo by Pulaski County Tourism Bureau.

Without fanfare, a Route 66 icon returned to service May 22, 2014. The 1923 Devils Elbow Bridge reopened to traffic after being closed for rehabilitation since October 24th, 2013. The project was completed 3 months ahead of schedule, just in time for the peak of tourist season. Pulaski County Commissioner Gene Newkirk noted that the first vehicles to cross the bridge were all from out of state, and that the second group, several motorcycles, were international Route 66 enthusiasts.

Photo by Pulaski County Tourism Bureau.

During an impromptu chat on the bridge, Devils Elbow resident Cheryl Dalgetty spoke of her excitement that it had reopened and how much the bridge, and the tourists who flock to Devils Elbow to see it, mean to her community. She recalled that since moving to the area in 1978 she has seen motor coaches filled with tourists cross, and even walk across it to take photos of the bridge itself and the beauty of the Big Piney River and her majestic bluffs.

Photo by Pulaski County Tourism Bureau.

One excited motorist even honked their horn in celebration as they crossed the bridge that had been closed to traffic for seven months.

Photo by Pulaski County Tourism Bureau.

Some of the signage that was removed during the bridge rehabilitation is now located at Pulaski County Visitors Center (137 St. Robert Boulevard, Suite A, Saint Robert) for Route 66 fans to see and photograph.

Photo by Pulaski County Tourism Bureau.

Commissioner Newkirk stated that a formal ceremony marking the reopening will be held in approximately 7 to 10 days. Stay tuned to Pulaski County Tourism Bureau on Facebook (www.facebook.com/PulaskiCountyUSA) or Twitter (@PulCoUSA) for details as they are released.

Hitchhikers Guide To Floating In Pulaski County

Merriam-Webster defines floating as “continually moving or changing position”. In the Ozarks floating is an art form, sometimes even a lifestyle, that involves canoes, kayaks, paddles, a river, and family and friends. People float from a location on the river downstream to another location on the river. The exact destinations on Pulaski County’s Big Piney or Gasconade Rivers that are chosen are not as important as the journey between the two points is- it is the in between that will have your family telling stories and sharing memories for years to come.

Pulaski County’s friendly outfitters can help plan family outings on our gentle and scenic rivers. They all offer float trips, fishing, and swimming. Some offer camping, cabins, and RV camping. Two unique camping options are Roubidoux Springs Campground & RV Park and Shundahai Campground. Roubidoux Springs Campground, a favorite with trout anglers, is on the banks of the Roubidoux River in Downtown Waynesville. A camp spot here is within walking distance of one of only seven certified Trail of Tears National Historic Trail sites in Missouri. Also within walking distance is antiquing, dining, nightlife, and shopping. Shundahai Campground offers TeePee camping, 17 acres to hike and explore, and 200 feet of beautiful Big Piney River riverfront. There are also plentiful hotel and lodging options in Saint Robert, complete with all the comforts of modern amenities.

Outfitters:

Boiling Spring Campground (www.dixoncamping.com or 573.759.7294)- offers several float trip options. Their most popular floats range from 3 to 8 miles. For folks who keep track of how many Missouri rivers they have paddled, Boiling Spring Campground floats also offer the option to float portions of the Big Piney AND the Gasconade River in the same float trip. For the hardcore river rat they also offer overnight floats- even a “51 Mile Float” that will allow you to experience the majority of Pulaski County from the meandering Gasconade and her beautiful waters.

The Cave Restaurant & Resort (www.thecaverestaurantandresort.com or 573.765.4554)- overlooks, and floats, the beautiful Gasconade River. The Gasconade has been described as “a wonderful run, [with] steep bluffs, gorgeous cuts, hairpin turns and lazy eddies” in The Rivers of Missouri. The Cave’s float trips can be upgraded to include lunch from their world famous restaurant.

Gasconade Hills Resort (www.gasconadehills.com or 573.765.3044)- offers day trips on the Gasconade River ranging from 4 to 10 miles and overnight trips ranging from 13 to 21 miles. Route 66 enthusiast will get a kick out the 4 mile float that ends at the Hazelgreen 1924 Route 66 Bridge.

Lay Z Day Canoes & Camping (www.layzday.com or 573.336.8639)- offers floats trips ranging from 4 to 11 miles on the Big Piney River. The Big Piney is renowned as a fishing stream and the dramatic limestone bluffs are topped with the pine trees that lend the river its name. Lay Z Day Canoes & Camping also offers “Full Moon Floats” that will let you paddle your way downriver by the light of the moon.

Rich’s Last Resort (www.richslastresort.com or 573.435.6669)- offers 7 mile or 15 mile one day floats on the Big Piney River. If one day isn’t enough to curb your canoeing appetite you can also sign on with them for a 45 mile paddle.

Route 66 Canoe (www.rt66canoe.com or 573.336.2730)- is located on one of the oldest alignments of Route 66 in the country, actually predating Route 66, this gravel was once Route 14. Andy Shelden, the proprietor, has a family history that dates back to the early days of Route 66 in the same area that his guests enjoy today. Route 66 Canoe offers float trips on both the Big Piney and the Gasconade Rivers.

Wilderness Ridge Resort (www.wildernessridgeresort.com or 573.435.6767)- offers 7 mile or 15 mile floats on the Big Piney River. They also offer two day floats from either Slabtown or Mason Bridge.

Pulaski County, Missouri’s outfitters have canoes, kayaks, rafts, inner tubes, and even jon boats available for your river excursion. Check with the outfitter for specifics and details.

A message from Pulaski County Outfitters Association

Many of our outfitters also offer put in/pull out access for those who have their own canoes. Some offer shuttle service for privately owned craft. Missouri Department of Conservation’s revised “Paddlers Guide To Missouri” is a resource for planning your independent float in Pulaski County.
