| ozark mountain paddlers: Paddling the Ozarks Mike Bezemek, 2017-05-15 With gushing springs, clear-water streams, lush hardwood forests, and limestone bluffs rising hundreds of feet, the Ozarks offer enough paddling to fill a lifetime, including seven streams in the National Wild & Scenic Rivers system and three rivers protected by national parks. Paddling the Ozarks details 40 of the region's best paddling trips—classic floats, hidden gems, scenic lakes, and challenging whitewater. Waterways ranging from southern Missouri to northern Arkansas to Oklahoma’s Cookson Hills with year-round classics like the Current River, Jacks Fork, NF White, and Eleven Point make this the essential guide to paddling the Ozarks. Paddling the Ozarks reveals that what some call flyover country is better described as paddle-through. Look inside to find: GPS coordinates for every put-in/takeout Detailed river descriptions Maps showing access points and river miles Level of difficulty, optimal flows, rapids, and other hazards |

Inside are updated descriptions of all the classic rivers, including the Buffalo National and Little Missouri, as well as exciting new reports of today's steep creek runs: Bryant, Turkey, and many others.

| ozark mountain paddlers: The Odell Buckenflush Chronicles 1: A Collection of River Tales - 2nd Edition Steve Spencer, 2025-04-11 The Odell Buckenflush Chronicles are a collection of river tales garnered from a career in the field of outdoor education. Throughout the Odell Buckenflush Chronicles, experiential-learning is mated with humor and addresses our environmental impacts and consequences of actions. While most of the tales have a humorous slant, each tale has a lesson directed at those who venture to the outdoors via our waterways. The tales provide fun examples for outdoor leaders, teachers, camp counselors, and resource managers to utilize in an ever-shrinking outdoor environment, making this book a tool for both education and entertainment. After all, the outdoor educator is in the business of “edutainment.” In the Odell Buckenflush Chronicles, circumstances unfold and decisions must be made that have consequences. Through the decisions we make, hopefully we learn from our experiences, gain wisdom, and develop good judgement. The great outdoor educator, Paul Petzoldt once noted, “People in outdoor settings should learn from their experiences; however, many must have what “just happened” explained to them, otherwise they keep making the same mistakes over and over.” There are a wealth of examples of “what just happened,” in these tales. While this compilation is not a treatise on learning theory, it does provide different examples of learning. We all learn differently as the great American humorist, Will Rogers expressed, “There are three kinds of (people): Those that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.” Have fun with these tales! Odell does the “peeing.” As the reader, all you have to do is enjoy! The design of all five volumes in the Odell Buckenflush Chronicles is consistent. Each volume has forty-eight tales arranged into four chapters entitled: Inventions and Achievements Family Connections Rescue and Survival Philosophy and Life At the end of each tale is a short note entitled, “Tale of the Tale.” This section details the real-life inspiration of the tale. A Glossary of River Terms is included in each volume with accuracy and “tongue-in-cheek” definitions. Multiple “Appendices” provide cross-references for: Rivers and geographic locations Previously published tales Subjects related to outdoor experiences Buckenflush characters in the tale Finally, there is no single person who is Dr. Odell Buckenflush. He is a combination of real folks, imagination, and folklore. Perhaps you may recognize yourself or your common experiences in some of these tales. Steve Spencer |

| ozark mountain paddlers: Natural Missouri Napier Shelton, 2005 Along the way he interviewed professional resource managers and naturalists, biologists, interpreters, conservation agents, engineers, farmers, hunters, fishermen, writers, and many others in an effort to gain a perspective that only people who work with the land - for business or for pleasure - can have. Shelton describes a range of land-management philosophies and techniques, from largely hands-off, as in state parks, to largely hands-on, as in farming. He also addresses the questions that surround some of the more controversial practices, such as the use of fire for land management and the introduction of nonnative species.--Jacket. |

Miraculously provided with food, but with no clues to the meaning of their strange new afterlife, billions of people from every period of Earth's history - and prehistory - must start again.

Along with a remarkable group of compatriots, including Alice Liddell Hargreaves (the Victorian girl who was the inspiration for Alice in Wonderland), an English-speaking Neanderthal, a WWII Holocaust survivor, and a wise extraterrestrial, Burton sets sail on the magnificent river. His mission: to confront humankind's mysterious benefactors, and learn the true purpose - innocent or evil - of the Riverworld . . . Winner of the Hugo Award for best novel, 1972 |
