"Come to them. Where's she here? We're here. What's wrong with that bull right there? Today, all Americans are being asked to prepare for the grievous wounds. Oh, my God. Of high velocity rounds. The cattle drive is an enduring symbol of the American West. The image of tough cowboys pushing huge herds of cows across the open range is stamped on our imaginations. But by the 21st century with western states growing and changing fast, most horseback cattle drives have been run off the range by suburban sprawl, government regulation, lower beef consumption, and the return of protected predators. But there is a group of stubborn men and women in Wyoming, who every spring push thousands of cows along the same 70 mile route, their ancestors pioneered 125 years ago. As we first reported last fall, this throwback to the old west is called the green river drift. And it's the longest running cattle drive left in America. Just after dawn, one Saturday in June of 2021. I'm trying to help Wyoming rancher Albert summers. And his team move hundreds of cows. Most of them mothers with new calves in a cloud of dust toward high green pastures where they'll graze all summer. And if you feel inclined Bill, you can whistle, you can yell. I do anything. This is like cowboys therapy. You get to voice everything out. Come on, Indy. I do the best I can. Come on, cows. Move cows. But it's not quite as good as little SHAD swain, the son of Albert's ranching partner, tye. Jazz 5 years old? Yes. Chad, if you can do this, I can do this, okay? SHAD got to do it with a sour apple lollipop in his mouth. All of us, with the help of some fearless herding dogs move cattle over hills across creeks. Through shimmering groves of Aspen along what cowboys called driveways. And across highways, north toward those distant mountains. How long does it take you to get them to the summer feeding area? So it takes about 13 days from when we start to when we get up there. What do we want to be? We travel up to about 60 to 70 months. Albert summers is one of 11 ranchers who work together to drive more than 7000 head of cattle on the green river drift. Those 11 ranches all lie in Wyoming's green river valley, south of Jackson hole. Here, the Wyoming range is to the west, the wind river range is to the east. The valley between is part bone dry high desert, and verdant river drainage, where Native Americans once hunted buffalo. Today, the green river runs through Albert summer's ranch. And your family's been doing this how long? My family's been doing this since mount 1903. Albert's neighbor Jeannie lockwood's family has been at it even longer. This was my granddad's branch. He homesteaded this in 1889. Her ranch is about 20 miles south of Albert summer's place. We joined her on horseback before dawn, the day she started moving her cattle north. There's that sun, it's going to peak up over the hill. Along the same path, her family has trekked for 125 years. So you're going to be doing this for the next two weeks. Yes. Getting up at 4 o'clock in the morning. Or three or two 30. Or two 30. Yeah. Those early starts barely compared to what old timers endured, when cowboys stayed out under the stars all night, and the sun all day, until they got the herd to high pastures. Well, I think we can go home. What do you think? Today, they go home after each day's drive. The next morning, they trailer their horses back to where they'd left the cattle. Round up those that have strayed and move them out again before dawn. The old chuck wagon, it's been replaced by a cooler and the tailgate of a pickup truck. But compared to what your grandfather did. This is easy. Yeah, we have it easy. Only ranchers would call this easy. Driving cattle is hot, dusty, demanding, and they'll be lucky to make a $50 profit per cow when they finally send them to market. Jeannie's daughter Haley and son in law, France, help wrangle the herd. Her husband milford shuttles the horse trailers. They all left regular jobs and moved back to the ranch several years ago after Jeannie's brother, who had been running the place, died in an accident. It takes all of us to do it, it seems like so. Jeannie was a librarian. So what is it about this place? It makes you give up regular normal American jobs. And come back here to do this really hard work. Well, first of all, it was home to me. And it was hard work for my parents. And I know it was hard work for my grandparents. And I just couldn't see letting it go. Labor of love, it's called. Yeah. Where's the emphasis? Labor or love? Love. Love might sustain the green river drift, but it was born in crisis. The winner of 1889 90 is really what started the drift. Clint gilchrist is in a story and who grew up in this valley and has written about that harsh winter. And it killed off the vast majority of the cattle herds that were here because they weren't prepared for a bad winter. Nobody had prepared for a bad winter. White settlers were not prepared. Native tribes which the U.S. government drove off the land to make room for homesteaders knew that winters in the green river valley could be merciless. The shoshone Indians and the croy Indians were one of the dominant tribes in these areas. And they didn't win her here. They went over on the other side of the mountains where it was less elevation. After that brutal winter, ranchers realized they had to move their cattle out of the valley long enough to grow a crop of hay. So while the cattle were up in the uplands, you're able to grow, hey. Right. And that feeds them all winter long. Right. And so that was the genesis of what we call the drift. The drift Albert summer says because when the first fall frost chills the mountains, the cows instinctively head for home. Just on their own, turn around and start coming back. Turn around and start we open Gates. Drift back. And they drift back in the spring. We drive them. In the fall, they drift. When the drift began 125 years ago there were no regulations, no.

"But that'd be later on nothing. Yeah let's go ahead and dive into this over here because this is the first time we've ever heard on the rive here so i guess the question asked him. We start with a rise. It's very sticky right and rise razz tricky to work with you. Know foams gums up bad. Got some tricks that we use with awry. It makes me wonder why people even mess with with how much trouble it is. Because we had a lot of master distillers on here and everybody hates dealing with rai because of how like just painstakingly obvious. It is that just clean it and keep it going. I think we figured it out. Yeah you gotta remember back in the back. When we got started we ricotta competing against gp for a little bit in. Oh so we're making some suburban kind of competing against those guys. We also said. Hey we can make some pretty damn good rod too so we made a ninety five five rai and were sold out of our. I don't have any more to sell on the market. Got waiting lists for our i and Why would you tell us that. Now it'd be drink it and we fall in love this or site. This'll be This will probably be released End of next year made me as green river product So this is under proof. So what's the what's the thought process of going with a traditional ninety five and not saying we'll do a fifty one at kentucky route that which has a fifty one fifty six well. There's a couple of reasons. I think that that that's always been the case as you mentioned razz hard to work with. It's also more expensive so traditionally speaking you know a lot of the big boys were making fifty one percent rye For those two reasons we wanted to make something unique and different Forgo make rides. It's going to be a full on full-bodied in your face ri- to compete with somebody like an mvp. Yeah well full botanist. But they're still like with all three of these. I get just so much. Like creaming est thome. They're be like yeah already. Yeah and there's something that you usually don't get this age is like i said earlier. It's stringent these have like that creamy texture and flavors going on that i really enjoy I mean you get that typical spearmint. You know that you're used to with the gp but the communist just adds to it. I don't know cut above it. Another another cut above their sweet sweet yet spicy. Yeah exactly and got a combination. This is their rb. Our standard right so are are kind of a fun question for you here. What do you see happening in the urban world that you think that there's we should change or that there's room for improvement or maybe just kind of like irritates you or something like that and thought about that question Spot i don't like it when when people just bottles and let them sit on the show and never open like here. I mean you've been here. Guy i mean most of them are open though. So i'll give you that. At least they're open. But you know i. I think bourbon should be made to be shared and enjoyed with with friends and not a big fan of it. Just sitting there needs to be tasted and tried on. Start opening your thousand dollars yet. What's the running joke over here. He every time. I come here at cost him. A thousand dollars opened up a bottle. I would believe that. Yeah but the problem is. There's nowhere to put any bottle. That's we've we've seen. There's it's literally spread across the floor. So i've gotta figure ways to. I need to have more friends over. That's what it comes down a big party block party. I can't drink all this more people. At some point we will make that happen. So you know another thing. I i kinda wanna talk to you about this too. Is you know drinking bottles and everything like that too. Is you know one of the things that we found that. We ended up amassing bottles through private peril. Picks and stuff like that. Have you all thought about Private barrels selection program happening at green river with you know some of the h. Product that you are putting out yes We've been kinda waiting for the for the green. Where brand and the label to be out be able to have an avenue to do that under yes we get enquiries all the time about doing private barrel pigs and that will be coming out after the launch of the green river brands so probably next year will lean heavy into that all right. We'll sign up. I take as a pursuit series. We'll take to you know. Look we can do it now. I mean it's it's fantastic. Fantastic was ian. You know it's it's it's great to learn more about about your history and thank god. You got gotta banking to do this. I dunno it's been a it's i've ever made. I must have been identity conflict. Like what am i doing here laying. It was rough there for for a few years but glad out you know crossed over to the good side. My days are definitely funner. How what were i guess. That was probably should ask the very top. The podcast was. What was that moment that you said i'm not doing this shit anymore. I've i've got to go back and start distilling and figuring out like how do i follow my. You know my my family lineage. Here you know that would have been about. Oh six that was kind of when the the housing market was in really bad shape and crash in and you were loan officer. Yeah yeah i was. I was actually sue. Coo for republic hanging down in a down in florida and they bought a bank down there. And you know it wasn't the best time to be in banking nine flora florida. I'm so you know what. I call my my dad and i said hey i think i wanna get back into the liquor liquor with you. And he said okay good. I think he was excited. That i decided to do that but he you know he always wanted to have another job i to do something else. You'd ever want to just get handed anything in life so it was good to be able to go to that and then come back. But you know as a kid i had i worked with him at the distillery in the summers. I had all the the Less glamorous jobs that worked on the bottling line of work in processing you know cleaning tanks and building batches. We had a big cattle ranch down in florida. Took care of all our cows. We had several hundred head of cattle. So i mean you know it's It's fun to get to just go from basically on the bowling londe to do it all this now so with your mind to working with your hands. And that's right yeah. There's something gratifying about that kind of talk about your dad and the impression the analogy and still like what was that process like as well. I mean you haven't met him. He's he's super super talented. We both we both wear kinda the same hat. He was operations. But also you know masters dealer so you know we heavily involved in the operation side of things but You know he always described us as the blue collar guys. Some of the other people would get a little bit more of the the glory but somebody's gotta do the damn work We were kinda the worker guys too. So so when you have christmas time and you bring some of your products and he tries them see prodi. You still got some work to be now he. He likes ella banks. He really likes yellow banks and You know on the ri- he was super rice skeptic. I don't like you know his isn't amazing. I think a lot of old generations never wanted to touch round. Yeah but in eighty actually paid me a maybe a back compliment. He said i don't like her out. But i like your rats with that eighteen. Now now that no. He works for pillow. I go to key.

"You'll see some of the old photos of the work that we've done but you know twenty six acres and it was a hell of project as for sure has been. There's no shortage of money that you had to spend to make sure i'll let stuff kind of starts being operational again. Am i. hair wasn't white. When i started when you were down. Yeah mine's doing the same must be. This industry. industry is really takes a toll on your a little bit. I think that. I was amazed about was when i came and visited you as like how big the property is how many warehouses and how how many were did you inherit warehouses space and whatnot. Yeah so we have six twenty six acres. We have six warehouses on site. And then we're we're building additional warehouses offsite a now. We have ten offsite warehouses and we're building a new warehouse every ninety days to keep up with production file so we're we're cranking out zero and again. Yeah no shortage of were barrel gozo so but in in so in two thousand fourteen is when you came to this location. It was called z tyler. Kind of talk about the transition of the name from ozzy tyler to green. Yes so Oc tyler he was the founder of the company And he had passed away before we were finished with a project so our former ceo decided. It'd be good to name you know named after him you know but we. We really always had our eyes on the green river name in the green river. Trademark guy named rob mccullough. Who's the great great grandson of j w mcculloch who started green river own that trademark and It took Several years of negotiations to get To get our price right On on acquire back that the trademark name. And you know there's a lot of brains that have been been brought back Over the years al peerless as an example of an old brand. But i can't really think of a brand that's been brought back to its original home Still been rebuilt and to bring a brand back to that spot and rename. It is pretty unique. I think yeah. I'm curious so if somebody owns the trademark to green river. What would they do with him. I mean if there if you just kinda like just waiting for the right buyer at the right price. I mean it's i guess it's gonna demand yeah domain squatting or something like that. Yeah pretty much I think he realized this was his best shot so we wore him down. He's only twenty dollars taking her leaving. This as best as you're going to get you know robs a great guy though he's got he's got a ton of memorabilia. We've opened up our visitors center again. We've got a whole green river museum that'll have all the old memorabilia That he's collected over the years. We've got jada mccullough's desk From you know eighteen. Eighty five onsite. So wow pete ten on there now too right. Yeah did you already have that or is that coupled the noon we had that you know the the medley family actually did a fantastic job keeping that old. Dsp number throughout the years even though they were shut down so we were we were able to inherit that with the site as call. So what was i. Guess i was gonna ask the question like so what was harder to get the dsp or the name of green river green river name. Yeah i mean it's it's funny because we've had corky on the show before to talk about trying to get back the dsp because you know you have dsp kyi two thousand nine hundred forty what. Actually it's probably twenty one one thousand the l. crazy and it's like how do you how do you kind of get that back. But it sounds like the medley family was generous enough to make sure that you are able to get back to your roots on that one. Yeah yeah that that family themselves. They've been distilling for a long time there pillars of the community wants berle. That's for sure So you know part of the history of green river. Let's talk about a little bit too. Because i did some some reading here and it was known as the most expensive spirits sold at one point. Yeah the it was the head most heavily advertised brand pre probation They were the official whiskey of the marine corps hospital Won a bunch of awards appears in the nineteen hundreds but the an interesting story is that mcculloch traded twenty barrels for a gold mine interest. Gold mine that actually panned out so officially became the most expensive gave her soul. Man that was. Let's say it was like waikiki. Barters for a lot of different things. Now i mean when the crypto thing was going crazy. People were trading bourbon for for bitcoin and stuff like that. And i've seen people that have treated bourbon for corvettes i'll trade bourbon for contracting work through things like golf injuries like whatever panthers tickets i've done going into the fell game in here a few weeks and i was like i'll give you some good barrels for some tickets like heck. Yeah my dad always My dad always said you could get more done with the bottle of bourbon than at twenty dollar bill. Or oh you probably. That's a if your dad has never sage advice that kind of through here feel free to drop. Because i'm sure people like to hear those things so you know the other part. I mean just getting a gold mine out of it. I mean when you say it panned out. I get the pun. Right panning for gold Was there any anything else to the story of saying. Like oh it actually ended up being you know very lucrative The gold mine or anything like that either kind of anecdotes that story. There's some old pictures we've found. I mean that's that's a pretty old story. We don't have a lot of data on it. But we i will tell you that we're opening up a cocktail Little lounge in our Visitor center it's going to be called the twenty barrels saloon here. We go always play on something right. Never never miss an opportunity for marketing and talk about the packaging is a play on and forgive me for not knowing visit a play on the original packaging from back in the park. Prepo vision. yeah it it has some Some of those design elements You know the dots and the glass but What's really unique about it. We have a we'll have we have a horseshoe in the bottom of the glass. It'll be a very very unique bottle That will really stand out on the shelf custom bottle that we did There's some owensboro kentucky design elements in the glass. Gotta give a lot of credit to simon birch our ceo. He's definitely has a marketing background. He was head of marketing for smear offer diaz so he's taken us to a whole new level With our marketing. He worked really hard with the chuck lau with our marketing team to develop the packaging. And i think it's something that's really going to stand out and look really sharp. We were talking before this so you graduated from murray state with a marketing degree correct. I did so when you see the teams coming together to figure out what the labels can be like the policy can be like. Do you like to have a hand in that or you say like i'm gonna sit this one out well my name's on the on the pack anytime my name's on it. I get off for sure. I mean so kind of talk about some of your process when you're when you're looking at it and how involved you are with the process you know with this one. It was definitely a collaborative effort. But we want to pay a pay respect to the history of the brand. So you know. We didn't want it to come out and look like some big new modern flashy bottle. It's definitely Has a historic historic. Look to it and when your names on the bottle do you get like a an anxious feeling is it nervousness or. Do you feel pretty confident about what's what's to be happening. I'm super confident..

"State pen and talk to them that they haven't really gotten much more from him at all because there's there spent a couple more cases that were made rebecca moreau. They're still to jane. Does that are identified. But you still identified. Two of the remaining ones. Jane doe was wendy stevens. Jane doe b. Sixteen with sandra major. So there is some resolution to the cases. But there's three additional victims have been able to link you know that it's there tied up with him. But it's kelly mcguiness case lee and patricia osborne. So we're hoping at some point we can make connections on that. Let's let's close out with gary. Because you know i wanna ask you this question. I have my own thoughts and let me tell you my thought i and see if i'm somewhere near you never get everything out of criminal suspect. They they don't tell they very rarely run into anybody who tells you one hundred percent of anything. I mean steve. I mean you were debriefing. People did you ever feel somebody just cut gave you everything till it bleeds or did you feel like people were holding. There's always some peace. They hold back on you they hold back and and you know when we would you're sitting there debris from them on their criminal career with her defense attorney in the same room and you're spending days with nothing like what you guys did. But you know you're telling them anything that you tell me about now. I can't charge you with but don't tell me about capital crimes. Don't tell me about any murders committed. Which i always thought was you know. That's a big handcuffed to place on a criminal investigator because if somebody wants to own up to a murder just like the sheriff. You're talking about where you could bring closure to family to bring peace of mind to somebody but you felt like they always hold it back even even though you're you plead guilty to anything you can tell me about anything and i can not charge you with it. You always felt like there's just something that In their minds for whatever reason maybe they think it's heinous the way something happened. They don't they don't give you one hundred percent and the reason i said that. Sheriff is i believe ridgway. This is my thought. Tell me this is morgan's theory of the case. Tell me how far off base i am but ridgway would not tell you everything because he gave up a lot which he gave up his quote possessions. He owned those bodies he those were his possessions and i think he gave up a lot and i thought is one of the reasons he wouldn't tell you. Everything is still in his mind. Maybe he has his fantasy that he'll get out some day but there are he knows for some of the other bodies are but in his mind that something still for him to possess and he didn't wanna give you everything because he needed to own something to be able to get through prison or at least survive in president. Those are his private thoughts..

A team of five people who are called. My evidence review team are called together. a group of past detectives and we met at precinct three which is out in maple valley area which is about forty miles southeast to seattle. I had a twenty or thirty detective. Show up and i asked him. I said what do you guys think the first thing we should do in this case is because we're reopening and they go through the evidence again make sure we haven't missed anything so we started going through all ten thousand items of evidence. Of course knew we had this. Dna evidence so We started going through evidence anassa. We finally get that call in march of two thousand one. Submit your dna evidence.

"Was arrested in early. One thousand nine hundred. Eighty two for patronizing patronizing a prostitute. So even before the bodies were being found he had been arrested. Of course he was not anybody's radar for doing anything. Then but later we discover. He's on the arrest list. And and if you today sees hard because people think ok p is on that if he had that he's on the arrest list. You should have known that right away well again. We didn't have computers and in eighty six. When we finally did get a computer we printed out lists we had. We had a list of people who owned pickup trucks. A list of people who were arrested for patronizing prostitutes. We ought to listed people who had fishing license because of the green river. We had of people that assaulted women and other list you. All we could do was to print this out. The computer could make any comparison. So if you're thinking about computers today versus computers then erase that from your mind because there's no. There's no comparison We printed this out. These printouts were probably eighteen. Inches wide had perforated side. You've got guys might remember those sort then. We just laid out. They were folded and stacks right. We laid out maybe three less the truck prostitute arrests and fishing license. Let's say they go for the length of the hallway or registered truck owners for washington state. Then we'd have two or three detectives on each one of those lists on the floor on hands and knees with a highlighter and we'd call out the license plate if we saw if they found it on another list then that was a priorities. A suspect dirt birthdates names addresses. We call them all out and look at those and try to make comparisons between those lists. That's how we that's how we tried to connect the dots on some of these guys so to connect the docs on ridgeway with the things that we could build that probable cause cause case. That's the kind of stuff we were doing to try to make that connection so we did get probable. Cause we searched his place of you. Know the kennewick. Trucking researched his locker. There we took a pair coveralls We searched his home. We were taken carpet Looking for fibers of what you know. Whatever we thought could possibly be connected. Bedsheets pillowcases blankets towels We searched his yard and then we also searched him and we wanted a blood draw from him. But the judge said that just wasn't enough there for us to get a blood draw was too invasive..

"Her on the list. We did arrest somebody early on. He was never charged. Didn't have enough. So that's a case it still remains unsolved now and as you start working through this. This is when and let's talk a little bit too because a lot of this area that ended up being tied with it was called pacific highway south so at that time you the. I had a little bit of detail here. At that time. The population of king county was about one point seven or one point three million today doubts about point six million so it's basically doubled in size. It's twenty three hundred seven square miles. This is a huge county and inside of that you have. Phs pacific highway south that kind of becomes the area known for again. We're using terms of art back in the day. It's it's an area known for prostitution so kind of lay out the scope of king county. Because what i want to get into then is then after. Tell us about that. And then i want to start getting into now. Some of the difficulties involving the press and surveillance. But let's let's let people know for sure. Tell us about pacific highway south. Why that was such an area for prostitution and why that became so important for this case later on your we. So that whole area was called the strip and Civic highway south from seattle for south seattle all the way to almost north dakota federal way and local. Excuse me local people will know federal way but just to make it so it sort of associates with some who are familiar with the geography here. Pacific highway south actually runs down the whole coast. All the way down through california but but there you were talking about pacific highway south from south seattle to north dakota and it's called this trip and especially focused on the area in front of the seatac airport so back in those days people flying in and out of seatac hotels and low income. I should say dive motels where you can rent to motel room for four hours and everybody knew why you're renting a room for four hours. You didn't plan to spend the night there but illegal activity was taken place in these dive. Motels had some other cases. Verte cases out of those motel rooms before green river where john john was killed or pimp was killed. A.

"Expected Everybody knew you know that. I'm right that i'm going to have to leave. So let me put this into perspective too because as we go along. One of the things i've done is catalogued as we go through each of these areas and i want to let people know wendy lee. Caulfield was sixteen when she disappeared on july eighth. She was found on july fifteenth. Lynn bonner was twenty three when she disappeared on july twenty fifth. She was found on the twelfth. That was the first homicide you responded to at the meat packing company but then it was marsha fe chapman thirty one. She disappeared on august. I found on. August fifteenth cynthia. Jean hines disappeared on august. Eleventh found on august fifteenth. And then it was opal mills. Who did that was the body that you came across. When you're doing the crime scene. She disappeared on august twelfth and was discovered on august fifteenth. So what you have. A short amount of time are five young ladies all thirty ranging in age from sixteen to thirty one but all of them disappear in a short amount of time and are found by the green river. Yeah and we you know we. We're assuming that later. We we come to this conclusion. But we we sort of when the when the river river rafters describing this man on the bank and he drives away in a truck. Obviously you know the the man on the bank is suspect. the truck is is a suspect vehicle The description that were given by the the rafter is you know. Pretty nondescript has very vague and He he wasn't that close to them. He's he's too close to him. He's in the river quite a distance from him up on the bank. So you know. We didn't we didn't expect him to say to give us a perfect description. Grab license plate. 'cause in august that that riverbank is full of overgrown weeds bush grasps it take grass grows four or five feet high on that river bank. Riverbank and There's no way he could have seen a license plate so we have a white male standing on the bank those pickup truck and drives away. And that's all we have but later we we sort of.

"Today in true crime. A spotify original from podcast. Due to the graphic nature of this killer's crimes listener discretion is advised. This episode includes discussions of murder that some people may find offensive. We advise extreme caution for children under thirteen today. We're covering the discovery of wendy lee caufield body and the long effort to bring her killer to justice. Let's go back to july. Fifteenth nineteen eighty two shortly before four. Pm two teenage boys rode their bicycles through the lush washington countryside about fifteen miles south of seattle as they cycled across a bridge of the green river. They noticed something strange in the water. It was cloudy almost gloomy. Summer's day not ideal weather for swimming yet below them. The boys saw muddy figure clinging to a piece of rotting wood. The person looked sluggish as though she might be injured. The boys stopped their bikes and tried calling out to her but there was no reply as they drew closer. The kids realized the swimmer wasn't moving at all. She wasn't grasping onto the would post played limply across it. She was dead the pair cycled as fast as they could to the nearest town and telephone for help soon afterward. Police and firefighters from the city of kent washington arrived at the bridge to examine the grisly scene. The body had been in the river for some time. It was covered in silt and algae but it was still identifiable as the figure of a girl naked except for her socks tennis shoes. Her clothes weren't missing though instead. They were knotted around her neck. It looked like she'd been strangled to death using her own jeans and blouse that evening a pathologist at the king county medical examiner's office inspected the body looking for any identification. There was none but she did have distinguishing tattoos including a red and black butterfly on torso examiners found a broken bone in her neck indicating she'd been strangled to death. They also saw evidence of a violent struggle. There were dark bruises on her arms that had been formed prior to deaf this sixteen year old girl had fought desperately for her life as the body was driven. Away to the morgue patrolman. Rdc caloms couldn't shake the feeling that he'd seen the victim before but he couldn't put his finger on where with no identification to go on police combed through their database of missing people. Hoping that their jane doe would match up to one of the victim profiles she didn't and so the authorities turned to the public for help. They put out a detailed description of the victim.

"I like to welcome the show Sam and Nina. Oppenheim Sam you may remember from being on the show way back you can find Samsa Tiger fee at Sam Oppenheim, dot com Sam and Nina welcome to the show. Thank you for having a Song Chris to care and I say Sam has been on the show in a while we figure it's something like ten years of marriage in two kids later that SAM is back. In the early years talking about Bali and northern India and Laos I believe if I am. Correctly, but you're talking something a little more domestic this time. What are we talking about today? So mostly the national parks in northern Colorado I figured because of Covid we did a little domestic travel and there's some amazing sites at their dinosaur, national? Monument. Doesn't get enough attention and Rocky Mountain National Park among a lot of people's favorites excellent and you did this as part of a larger RV trip this year. Correct. So we did our first ever family RV trip and we all four corners, Arizona Utah Colorado? New Mexico but what we covered has been covered by your show before like the route sixty six stuff in New Mexico and Arizona we did that and you recently had a podcast about the national parks in Arizona. Offer beaten past beyond the Grand Canyon so we don't want to repeat anything It's getting tougher. So we do repeat some things these days. In fact, I'm going to try and repeat the show we did allows Laos coming up here sometime I'm just looking for a guest. So let's focus in on Colorado which I think we decided was about a week long portion of your trip yes and you doing this by RV right excellent and where should we start if you're GONNA? Do it just all on its own as a one week one way road trip you could fly into Salt Lake City and fly out of like older Denver area. But I'm not GonNa Really. WanNa talk about Salt Lake City that much. So I think. Can we just start in Dinosaur National Monument border of Utah and Colorado. So we're up in the north western corner of Colorado when we're in dinosaur national monument correct it's most of the monument is now in Colorado but the part with the dinosaur quarry is in Utah and it's one of those parks that stretches across the border and it's Absolutely. Incredible. It's actually two hundred, ten, thousand acres and includes two river canyons both the green and Yamba River canyons and so some people think Oh, it's a national monument. It's not as big as a national park will actually it's a lot bigger than some national park. So the designation National Park is more Congressional and National Monument is Presidential Right? It doesn't determine the funding or the sides are valued visiting the site right? Exactly. So I have spent some time in Dinosaur National Monument but I've done exactly the opposite of the things that you've done. So tell me a little bit about your experience first of all. Yes. So we did is we stayed in an RV campsite outside of the park, but actually we're going to recommend that anyone doing this trip stays inside the park. It's just going to be a better trip I'm talking this cold tour that we're going to be doing here is more of an outdoorsy type of tourism, and so I think if you word of a reserve, the campground at either Split Mountain or Green River on the Utah side of. Dinosaur. National Monument. You would then be inside the park. It's a beautiful campground right on a quiet stretch of the Green River, and all these campgrounds can be reserved on recreation dot Gov, and you could do it with an RV and could do it with a tent. But if you wanted to stay outside there are places you can stay in Jensen Utah which is kind of the border town for the national. Monument, in Utah more in Dinosaur Colorado, they named the town after the monument. Okay and neither of those are all that large town as I am now I think the largest town in the area's vernal Utah, which a little further west than Johnson and actually we should mention that if you're into dinosaurs hopefully you are. If you're going to dinosaur national monument, there is actually a lovely museum in Vernal Utah Not a large museum, but you can see some velociraptor and things like that. So especially, if you're there with kids and I think you were traveling with two. That's that's someplace that I would recommend. We were on prevent a long drive from Bryce Canyon Up to Dinosaur National Monument, and so we drove to rural and it was we made sure to stop at some of those dinosaur statutes that are in town. We weren't unfortunately stay for the museum. I. Don't know if it was open actually right now a lot of museums here in two, thousand, twenty, nine open. It was great to see those the statues in town. If you like photo ops with giant roadside dinosaurs, you won't be disappointed on this road trip.
Seattle Now
Orca who carried her dead calf for 1,000 miles is pregnant
"Pregnancies are good news for the southern resident killer whales and right now, it looks like there are three whales including j thirty five who could give birth. But there's a long way to go today. We're GONNA talk about the lives of these orcas and our complicated relationship with them here to do that with us is Linda makes she's the environment reporter at the Seattle Times Linda. Thanks for joining us. Thank you, Trish. So give us a quick recap on J. Thirty five for people who weren't here maybe when her calf died. So J thirty five or Takuma really is the ORCA whale who changed the conversation about this very small population of whales and very sadly trish as I talked to today that population is even smaller than it was two years ago when she gave birth to a female calf and it live for only one half hour, and then she did something that scientists know these animals do as well as other, very, highly intelligent. Socially, bonded animals they grieve and she just refused to let that baby go. Now, this calf is probably six feet. Long weighs about three hundred pounds, and for seventeen days, she just refused to let it go and she had to decide to retire. She went down for breath to pick it up once again and carry it some more, and it really did touch the hearts. People around the world and even though these southern resident orcas have been listed as dangerous since two thousand and five. Suddenly people really did understand for the first time, just how fragile they are, and the fact that these aren't just random black and white wildlife. These are families with very, very close bonds. And why do you think that we feel so attached to these orca because I grew up in the Eighties and Wales were such a big deal. You know every girl had little whale necklace and why do we feel so attached I'm gonNA, make a sound for you inherit comes. That is sound of a whale breathing. They are mammals like us, and that's sound when you hear it, it's like a sound from the beginning of the world. It's It's a magnificent presence to be with these whales and you and you understand as you observe their family bond says, you see the way they take care of one another. You know they're so superior to people they. They have brilliant diplomacy. They share space in the ocean without ever warring or committing any acts of aggression against one another. They've families together for life. It's really quite remarkable and they've been around don't forget this for six million years as a species. So these are in every way our elders and mentors for how to run a successful society and don't forget this. They were doing just fine until we showed up. How do we raise up the cause of the ORCA of the environment here without doing the thing that we tend to do a lot of as humans, which is just the help that hurts, how do we walk that line? Actually, this is easier than ever I mean, let's remember how we got to know these southern resident whales. Well, it was the capture era which by the way was not that long ago. Free, willy. Oh. Yeah. Anybody could go out and catch themselves a killer whale for an aquarium or for that matter, sell it for profit anouar in the world until as recently as are you ready Nineteen, seventy six. So wow, that's really recent. Recent and the only while who've had survived that time is still alive and she's still at the Miami Seaquarium and the fiftieth anniversary of her capture and Penn cove is on August seventh. Wow. This is recent time and ironically it was through seeing these so-called killer whales up close in captivity and realizing their incredible intelligence and they're gentle personalities that people went through a whole change in their understanding about these animals and today they're not only revered but protected and I said it's easier than ever to love these animals without loving them to death God look at what you can watch the documentary footage that's out there to enjoy these animals is so much. Better than anything that has ever been available. The amount of knowledge we have about them is superb growing by the day and you know you can watch them from shore. The idea that you need to spend the money by the way and get on a boat. Go after them. You know that's not the only way to enjoy these whales and I think that it's important to. Show some restraint and also some respect for their space. So. J thirty five is pregnant. Again, this is a good sign but two thirds of pregnancies in this population are lost. I learned this lesson with birds in my backyard last year in a nest so. This is not the time for a baby shower. We have a long way to go here. That's so well said. I would think about it. This way this time to hold space for these oils to hold them in your mind and think about what you can do to help whether it's something that might feel small but adds up such as be involved in local land use decisions in your community. That's where all this getting decided about how much of the puget sound lowlands we retain and how much we pay of over. You know these tedious things that we don't think matter like Oh, the king, county flood control district. Well, you know what they're up to. They're thinking about the future of the Green. River. which is upstream from the Duwamish, the green flows into the duwamish Seattle's only river. It's very important Salmon River for the whales and so things like paying attention to what's the local flood district doing what is going on in my local community? By Way of development? All of these things make a difference especially if all of us do. and. Read learn about these animals become informed. Educate Yourself. You know there are lots of ways to get involved and stay involved and play heart in whether. Tele. Calf actually. Does get born and does survive. To me, that's our work song as a region. May Her next calf with? So J thirty five. How will scientists track her pregnancy? Will very remotely fortunately. The scientists who do this work are John, Durbin? And Holly Fehrenbach, and they're they're a team of scientists who came up with a new method. using drones to photograph these Wales from at least one hundred, few of them and remote Louis activated. So they're far from the whales. So nowhere near them, the whales don't seem to show any notice of these drums when they're flying. And they take suspect hack your pictures, and there's something about the angle from above That's very different from a boat. You can see not only the shape of the whales. You can watch their behavior, their families. I. Make It takes your breath away and it is an entirely new view of the lives of these Wales and when it comes to keep track of j thirty five and the other pregnant whales. They're going to do is take another peek in September. DID THEY FATTEN UP? Did they pump up or are they going into winter in good shape? Are they look stressed or are they looking skinny? Most importantly with regard to her? Is She nice fat around? They'd like to see her a lot rounder in September than she is now for early in her pregnancy, these whales carry their babies, believe it or not for eighteen eighteen months Linda I read that and I thought. Oh. My Gosh Holy. Mackerel A. And actually then the real work starts because they've got to feed not only themselves, but they've got a lactate and that's a very, very high fat milk. So she's got her work cut out for her so they'll immature September and we will all cross our fingers that she's even bigger. And then you know she's either. Going to be carrying another kappa which time. I, don't know what I'll do. Or, we'll see her romping with a baby. You know We'll see what happens next I. do think that we ought to kind of hold our breath. A little bit chances are are high that things won't go well, but it doesn't mean that she couldn't surprise us and we might have some more good news. Let's remember there have been two berths to southern residents and let's remember Linda are bar for hope, is pretty low. Sleep. Vote through. Isn't it for the? Thought, I'd get a good peach these days and I'm just thrilled. Good Peach. Tomato. I'm good.

I think I'm sort of like that. Just to be a voice for you know. We're all busy. We're all entrepreneurs that means by definition were super-busy and we've got too much going on. And I think I just always want to be the voice for Sanity in Your Business and sanity in your life and actually building a business that gives you a great life and I know when you start out I know when I screw started I was struggling and scrambling and that's that there is. There's a time where you have to hustle. But there's also a time where you need to kick back and I think if you're going to be creative you need to build this in and for me the Wilderness. Where I recharge this is where I do. The work I was just talking to my friend have been pagan. And we're talking about the work we had left to do in the world and I said to him. You know I think one I I've got I've got a lot of work to do in the world and it begins for me out in the woods out in the river out in the wilderness. Because that's were I recharge that's That's what gives me the energy to keep on driving my business and entire movement forward so Yeah just another voice from the Wilderness. Cry From the Wilderness to To to be to build the time in for yourself so you can recharge and I know not. Everyone's someone's got to easy access to wilderness that I do but This this I believe that wilderness is an important thing for humans that have have where we can actually get out into the wild and experience a wild and see the night sky and and I think the Wilderness is an incredibly valuable thing for us as human. So here's a cry for the Wilderness in from the Wilderness. That's all I got for you as a very very peaceful week. I'm GONNA welcome back. Recharge we're about to go into our big launch kind of and it's just the juxtaposition from being out here in the other wilderness to you know whatever another another week a couple of weeks and I'm going to be staged thousand people It's it's just magic that I get to experience us and I'm just really grateful and really happy for those who are going to be at launch kind of looking forward to seeing you and for those who aren't going to be there figure out some way to recharge yourself as an entrepreneur. You need to do that. You need to build that into your life. That's all I got for you. Let's go get him this week.
