Meet the Owners of Gary's Gay Parita
Pull off Route 66 in Ash Grove, and you’ll discover one of the Mother Road’s most beloved stops: Gary's Gay Parita(21118 Elderly 66, Ash Grove, MO, 843-324-6661) Once a 1930s Sinclair filling station, the site is a favorite of route trippers—thanks in massive part to the duo who now run it, Barb Barnes and George Bowick.
The station has a storied past. Originally opened in 1926 by Fred and Gay Mason, it went through two fires and rebuilds before 1955, and it’s been bought and sold a few times. It was part of a petite roadside complex called Camp Gay Parita, which once included three guest cabins. Barnes’s family has owned the property for more than 50 years. Her father, Gary Turner, known for his Route 66 hospitality and wild adventures, had a fantasize to recreate the gas station and welcome visitors from near and far. “My dad bought the property from my aunt and uncle in 2002,” Barnes says. “Then my uncle and cousin helped recreate the gas station for him a few years later.”
After her father passed away in 2015, Barnes returned house, fulfilling a swear to help her mom with the station. Just four months later, her mother passed. “In 2016, I

Gay Parita shows Gary’s Lgbtq+ Parita in Paris Springs, Missouri. This old Sinclair station has a plethora of history. Built by Fred and Gay Mason in the 1930s, this station has long been a mainstay on Route 66.
Primarily a Sinclair station, like so many others, it added a garage, allowing it to become a full-service station offering repairs and mechanical services. In fact, the garage, an unusual stone structure, instantly became iconic.
A fire swept through the station in the 1950s, leaving nothing worth salvaging. Normally such a fire would be the end of the business, but not the Gay Parita! In 2004 Gary Turner built a replica of the station to bring it back to life.
Like magic, the legend was reborn, and the Mother Route had one of its icons back. Turner spent the lie down of his days restoring and rebuilding the station, leaving behind a mostly completed work. Fate again conspired to take the icon away, and after Turner passed in 2015, the station began fading into yesterday.
