Ria: why are all these people
Riding in the swell?
Chad: they are riding to make a
statement about the Emery County
lands bill in Congress and to
alert riders everywhere that
access could be on the chopping
block again.
Ria: then it's no boys allowed as
we join the Nitro care and axle
ladies run at trail hero.
Chad: and Reese Stein is returned
from his Halloween haunt in
Lithuania unscathed. He will tell
us about his harrowing adventure
at witches' hollow.
Ria: fall is in full swing at
your leisure is next.
Music up.
Chad: it's one thing when you're
out motoring for fun but when
you're out motoring for cause man
that puts fire in your belly.
Ria: oh yeah, I got plenty of
that. With that Mexican food last
night.
Chad: that's right, ha ha, hi
everybody whoa I'm going to stand
over here. Hi everybody. Welcome
to at your leisure. Today I'm
Chad booth.
Ria: and I'm ria Rossi booth and
we're out here in beautiful Emery
County in a lovely little town of
Huntington and were going to go
out with some really great people
today from around the area and
work on an OHV out the swell and
it's kind of like what everybody
should be doing.
Chad: this is true.
Ria: today
Chad: today, because they may not
be able to tomorrow we are going
to spend some time in the show
talking about the Emery County
public lands bill, which started
out being what the OHV community
thought was to be a really good
well-balanced bill but once they
saw it surface in Washington they
had a different point of view. In
fact, let's find out a little bit
about what they're thinking right
now.
Scott: Over the last 20 years, I have
seen lands issues in Emery County
morph back and forth pressure
from the extreme environmental
groups pushing at one way the
motorized community pushing the
other direction and trying to get
some type of balanced bill and
I'll tell you what this bill that
Emery County has proposed and is
in Washington right now has
morphed into something that I
don't recognize.
Tory: It may not say it specifically
closing routes but the language
in the bill does not provide good
enough protection for these roads
and trails.
Doris: It feels like every time
something changes they make it
more friendly to nonmotorized and
environmental and less friendly
to motorized recreation.
Scott: And so, we got involved a little
bit more so and tried to put some
pressure on Emery County lands
Council and the commissioners to
maybe make some changes to the
and essentially, they came up
with for things would like to see
happen and frankly they didn't
want to listen to us at all.
Wayne: Understanding that the OHV
community has bought off on this
bill. I cannot understand why
because as long as I've been a
board member a long enough time
to have not been invited to weigh
in from our perspective that kind
of concerns me.
Scott: We didn't want really anymore. We
wanted it to be able to maintain
and have access to what we had.
Tory: We as a community really need to
get out and voice our concerns and
we need to tell our commissioners
to stop this bill bring it back
to our community and let us look
at.
Wayne: In moving back here at home to
Emery County going out on San
Rafael swell 10 min. from my
house is very breathtaking for me
and it's very relaxing. We've
been here for a long time, so
this is our backyard.
Tory: And without that language to
protect us who says what roads or
trails will be left open or
close.
Chad: you don't have to travel
far from town. Before you realize
how important and how passionate
these people are because the
scenery tells you everything.
Ria: this is spectacular view. We
are looking down on San Rafael
River and its fall colors and it
is God's country. This is so
unbelievably spiritual and
inspiring, and this is a little
Grand Canyon that's what they
call it right?
Chad: yes the little grand canyon
were on a part of the swell
called the wedge where there are
two gorges that come together and
meet at a point and by the time
we're done, and we see you again,
we will be down at the bottom
here by the river, but now it's
time for us to go out to our
travel adventure for this week.
Music up.
Cindy: So today we're down in sand
hollow and were on the ladies run
first time I've been on a ladies
run and I'm super excited to have
other ladies to talk about their
stories and how they got into
Jeeping
Paula: it's great to have when out here
showing other women that they can
do it they can hit the trails
there is every challenge you hit
is something new it's a new
challenge it's empowering you
know; the sky is the limit. You
can achieve anything you can do
anything and to get other running
out here and showing them that we
can tackle anything that they
want to use huge.
Kimberly: I think it's important to have a
woman specific, so we can all
kind of feed off of each other
learn from each other you know we
all have different personalities
and were all female. Which brings
us all together as one unit and
were having a great day out here
on Mills smile here
Music up.
Tonya: So, we've just done Mills smile.
It's a level VI trail in Utah as
a levels one through 10 and 10 is
a hard-core buggy stuff six is
pretty good. I mean that was some
big rocks out there today and we
had a couple of good challenges a
couple of spots that seemed
scarier than they really are. And
we just took all our gals through
it. Everybody was smiling and
having a good time cheering each
other on and they rocked it. They
did us.
Brittany: The trail hero is a phenomenal
event and it supports a lot of
great causes, including veterans,
disabled veterans and of course
women the trail ride around
today.
We actually heard about the trail
hero event from a good friend of
ours known as Jeeping gypsy the
moment she told us about that, we
decided we had to come out here
and try it out. We've never been
to sand hollow we've never been
to hurricane Utah and the videos
it was super rowdy, so we wanted
to come out.
Music up.
Cindy: The adrenaline is just
incredible. I go up these steep
little inclines and get a little
tippy on one side and my heart
just starts pounding and then I
get to the top. And unlike man
that was freaking awesome.
Kevin: They build up confidence. I know
a lot of girls are out there and
their help and support their
husbands. But the guys are
generally the ones who were
driving for whatever reason and
actually all proved today that
that doesn't need to be how it
goes.
Tonya: So, what we're trying to do is
provide an environment where we
support each other, and all
recognize that we're at different
levels. We actually had a couple
of girls under trail today that
haven't driven out all and they
got through all of those
obstacles and they had a great
time. So that was really awesome.
Crystal: We don't necessarily always have
to have our men with us. Not that
the great and we value them
greatly, but and also being able
to kind of give each other the
confidence to just say yeah hit
it and let's go and have some
fun.
Cindy: I think that it is important to
have a separate ladies run for
the camaraderie to make
connections with people because
we understand, and we go through
the same kind of stereotypes. So,
people look at my Jeep and are
going to assume that this is my
husband's Jeep, but when in fact
it is mine and I bought it and I
wanted it, and this is my hobby
and I love it.
Music up.
Girls: Whooo!
Music
Chad: welcome back to at your
leisure. I get to be on the
product review side because I'm
going to give you a testimonial
and a product review today I'm
with Paul Schroeder from clearly
tough and were to look at wind
shields Paul tell me why the
clearly tough windshield is
different from anything else out
there?
Paul: well, as a company we've
decided that we wanted to go,
only scratch resistance were the
only company that I know of that
does that. Scratch resistant is
what it's all about. It's so
frustrating to be on the trail
not be able to see through your
windshield.
Chad: and how many times have I
heard that before.
Paul: you do here that but
Chad: okay, prove it to me.
Paul: okay so this is a
windshield that we've had on this
machine for a few years now and
it's held up really, really well
because of the hard coat that is
on the windshield and this is a
typical situation where it has
rained to get the dust particles
on it and that's what your
windshield looks like if it's
been left outside.
Chad: Correct!
Paul: now, what will happen is
either somebody not thinking
about it were a kid or somebody
will come up and they will rub
their hands across that.
Chad: right their name in it,
yeah.
Paul: oh yeah, that'll do
something like that, when you do
that with a windshield that does
not have the hard coat on it
you're going to get these fine
micro scratches and it's going to
cover the windshield. So, when
you're going in the sun cannot
see out of that anymore.
Chad: all right. So, somebody is
just going to say you just ruined
that windshield. By doing that.
Paul: yeah, they'll say that but
basically is we keep a water
bottle with this and a couple of
drops of dish soap to get any
grease marks out of there and all
you need to do spray that like
that. Grab some paper towels no
microfiber cloth or special
cloths like that. Take that paper
towel and just wipe it down and
it will be gone is hardcoded
along both sides so you see that
there's something on the inside
there to just spray the inside
and then your back to you like I
say this is been on our machine
for a couple of years now and it
blows people away when they see
it.
Chad: let's talk about
indestructibility because the
unit we had on here for we got
yours cracked.
Paul: oh yeah, and that will
happen if you don't have poly
carbonate you may have acrylic or
some other kind of plexiglass, it
will break poly carbonate is 250
times stronger than glass.
Chad: okay, once again I say
prove it.
Paul: well, here's a proof for
that. If you're riding an and you
hit a branch or something really
hard.
Chad: yeah.
Paul: it will break a normal
windshield.
Chad: I think that proves the
point, doesn't it?
Paul: do you want to try it on
your machine?
Chad: yeah. Okay, he could've
been holding the punch.
Chad: that is amazing. Look at
that and it doesn't even leave a
mark other than my fingerprints
okay how many different kinds of
windshields do you make do you
make front and back?
Paul: we make front and back. We
focus on the front because the
writers of these machines are so
very that it is really hard to
get every one of those fit, but
as far as front windshields
that's our forte. Especially the
folding because we like the
versatility.
Chad: okay, very good. How do
they find out about clearly
tough?
Paul: clearly tough you can go to
clearly tough.com or you can call
800-393-5913 and we'll give you
the information you need.
Chad: all right Paul thank you so
much for the product review. I
will give you a testimonial
before we go, they work. We've
had them on our machines for
about two years. They are great
product and will see you on the
trail be back with more of your
leisure. When we come back, it
will be our trail head adventure.
Music up.
Chad: that's not Bigfoot,
although it did have big feet.
Ria: yeah, it looks kind of
birdlike.
Chad: indeed. Welcome back to at
your leisure. We are out in the
buck horn draw part of the San
Rafael swell and this is an area
of concern to a lot of the local
citizens of Emery County because
of the public land Bill they are
worried that some of their access
will be cut off, which is kind of
a sad thing, given all the
history.
Ria: oh, it would just be a shame
if they cut off any excess up
here, this is fabulous, and you
got these beautiful little kids
running around here with their
families. I mean, it's just has
to always stay open forever and
ever. It's too beautiful.
Chad: now it's known that
dinosaurs track this area because
there's a quarry not too far from
here, where they've been digging
up bones but every now and then
you run across this spot like
this right along the side of the
trail where some kind of dip low
doc oh bronto aliceor type thing
walked around. I'm not really
sure what it was to think it was
a man eater?
Ria: oh, it could be. He looks
like it could've been a
carnivore. Yeah.
Chad: okay Neanderthals look out
ha ha. Anyway, we do want to find
out a little bit more about the
history here because this is an
area rich in it. So, let's check
out.
Music up.
Randy: Matt Warner was part of Butch
Cassidy's gang and they hung out
down in this territory and this
was probably their major route to
get through robbers' roost. He
also talks about how unprofitable
and robbing banks and robbing
things was he did a lot better
when he finished up his jail
sentence and ran for sheriff of
carbon County. He ran with Butch
Cassidy in fact, he said that
he's the one that named Butch,
Butch.
Music up.
Randy: I'll show you this. We picked up
just in this little gully here.
This was part of the ocean
hundred and 80 million years ago.
And so, you'll see imprints of
sea animals and about 130 million
years ago the dinosaurs came into
this area and so there's a lot of
fossilized dinosaurs' bones and
then about 8000 years ago to 2000
years ago, the Fremont Indians
came in and a lot of this art
work is from them. Gold is a
pretty temporary deal. This
history should last us forever,
but it is important to have it
here and be able to access it and
share it and share it you come
out on some of these trails look
off into these canyons. It's
really a great experience.
Music up.
Ria: wow. Chad, I had no idea how
this place is like gushing with
history it's really amazing.
Chad: well, you know from wild
and crazy dinosaurs to outlaws'
bandits' team even some of the
current ranching there is an
awful lot to learn around this
place. When you think?
Ria: well, no it is honestly
amazing, and the beauty is just
astounding. Honestly, it's
amazing out here. It's hard to
just describe it it's so
beautiful.
Chad: I've decided I'm actually
going to leave my home and on
because it's going to be too hard
to get off.
Ria: yeah, and I have helmet
hair.
Chad: so were going to get
ourselves all cleaned up up here
and were going to take off right
now to our trail head adventure.
Reese: I'm Reese Stein, at your
leisure and just in time for
Halloween a trip to maybe this
spookiest place in the world the
hill of witches.
Music up.
Virginia: Why are there witches here?
Because on their special night
when the shortest night and the
longest day the witches appear
according to our religion when we
were pagans.
Reese: hidden on a sandy hill on
a remote sniff of land near the
Baltic Sea in Lithuania
sculptures intricately carved
from native oak haunt this
foreboding forest in ancient
times, it is said that on the
shortest night of the longest day
the hell witches gathered here to
celebrate the festival of St.
John. This which and maybe a
little too much celebration we
gingerly give the potion that
flipped the switch a sip if
nothing else, the mystery elixir
forms our core on a chilly fall
morning.
Virginia: The witches you know, try various
tricks here.
Linda: There are witches there because a
long time ago when they were
under Soviet occupation. The
Lithuanians were very creative
and were being stymied. So, they
wanted to do something creative
and so they made all of these
wonderful statues and put them on
the sand dune hills and they
would be the perfect place to be
on a windy day.
John: The item that caught me the most
was the gate to the devil and the
devil was seated right behind the
date and it seemed like he was
getting ready for Halloween.
Evie: The wooden carvings just stood
out because they were so many
exciting features about them.
Some of them were violent looking
some of them were folklore tales,
which also can be very violent.
I loved it because it gave us
that opportunity to get to know
each of the characters and the
myths and legends behind it. I
loved it.
Dorothy: Well kind of spooky kind of eerie
with all of the trees and
everything but the woodcarvings
were fantastic. I was just amazed
at the intricacy and the each one
you could see failings on their
face and it was really cool. It
was a nice walk through the words
to.
Dr. Loie: I felt like I was in Lord of the
rings. It was quite an old forest
and it was dark, and it was
rainy, and I love the statues
that were indicative of all the
different myths that existed, and
I found it quite wonderful and I
thought that statues were
beautifully carved.
Reese: there remains an aura here
that in 1979, inspired artists
from throughout Lithuania to
begin carving these sculptures
and placing them along an
undulating trail year after year
they return to create a solid
legacy of more than 80 carvings.
The beautiful giantess Moringa
greets visitors at the trailhead.
Legend says that when she
rebuffed the advances of the evil
Dragon Nautilus. He threatened
disaster Moringa created this
barrier spit to protect the
locals. Today, the spit contains
the largest lifting sand dunes in
Europe, Ellen Neta with her hair
all done up patiently awaits the
return of her fishermen husband
Custis fishing was the way life
in the olden days. Here the devil
is in a life and death card game
with an old hag and flames engulf
this condemned witch. Her face
reflects redesigned agony the
trail itself is a delightful path
winding through stands of mostly
Scotch pines planted to restore
the forest. After centuries of
timber cutting the hill draws
families with youngsters and on
days when the witches sleep on a
crest of the hill devils gate
with evil incarnate lurking in
the background we find safety in
numbers. Some of the carvings are
just for fun. Well others
stimulating emotions other than
fear.
Reese Stein at your leisure on
the hill of witches in Lithuania.
Music up.
Ria: welcome back to at your
leisure. Everybody we're standing
at Buckhorn draw which is this
gorgeous canyon out here and were
in front of the big picture
petroglyphs and these guys really
are big, big!
Chad: and a little scary.
Ria: yeah.
Chad: do you see the one with the
wings that looks like the Angel
of death.
Ria: yeah kind of
Chad: and it's next to somebody
with horns.
Ria: you're scaring the children
honey.
Chad: okay well it's okay this is
part of the Fremont Indian
culture which is here for a few
thousand years and I might quite
frankly point out, never once did
closing roads become an issue to
those people.
Ria: never once.
Chad: never once. Well, do you
know what those things say? Do
you know what it said?
Ria: no, but I think it's good
news.
Chad: is it's actually if you
look right there. It says
somebody is about to win in the
AYL sticker contest.
Ria: and I know who it is. I
found him today.
Ria: check this out this dude is
a diehard. Are you have a lovely
wife?
I am.
Ria: okay, here we go. Okay, this
woman is married to this guy who
is.
Okay, for sure.
Ria: we love you, thank you for
watching our show you guys are
the new winners.
Oh great.
Chad: congratulations. You have
one and overnight stay at the one
and only Daniels Summit Lodge
jampacked with winter or summer
adventures.
Ria: it's a beautiful place with
outdoor fun at your doorstep
literally.
Chad: and what a fun week will
have next week as the caravan
comes on by and were granted sure
you look at next week's show.
Music up.
Ria: next week we will dig into
adventure close to home as we
seek the biggest off-road
vehicles in the world at the Rio
Tinto Kennecott copper mine.
Chad: then: it's off to the
desert to discover new riding
opportunities for off-road at
Lake Powell. Yes, you heard right
we will have the exciting
details.
Ria: and Reese Stein stops to
enjoy that perfect window of
false splendor that only outdoors
in Utah can provide.
Chad: looks like next week's show
is going to be a great one. We
appreciate your tuning in to join
us one important thing. Make sure
make sure that you take the time
to let Congressman Bishop and are
two state senators, Sen. Lee and
Sen. Hatch know how you feel
about this area down here and the
Emery County lands bill we've got
to get some changes made in it to
make sure that we protect access
for everybody that wants to come
out and enjoy the swell.
Ria: touché.
Chad: and we want to thank the
Castle country OHV club that's
what all these shirts are around
here for their support in coming
out today to give us this great
tour.
Ria: it was awesome.
Chad: that is true.
Ria: it really was. What a great
trip. Thanks guys.
Chad: so how we end every show.
Ria: there is adventure around
every bend.
Chad: it's just up to you to get
out and create your own
adventure.
All: at your leisure.
Chad: all right there we go, I'm
out of gas by the way ha ha Ha
