Where to next!

This weekend.. we will be shooting wraps again! ( We have a fun job!) Saturday morning, March 31st, we will start the day at City of Rocks. It is a very cool and historical location filled with granite walls (perfect for climbing and rappelling, and boulders galore (the favorite of the Booth Girls) We wills start about 9 AM. If you are in the area stop by and say Hi.

In the afternoon, we are off to Burley Idaho to raft on the Snake River. Sunday Morning at either 9 or 10 we are meeting with an ATV club in Mountain Home Idaho to ride on the Danskin Trail. A very unique ATV trail in central Idaho. If you would like to join the ride, bring your own ATVs, your good trail etiquite and safety equipment and join us. E mail for directions. Amy and Greg Barlow from ATV Rentals of Utah along with their kids will be joining us for the ride and the show. We will follow up this post with a report on the weekend.

Do you know of any good ATV trails in Idaho?

Jeeps at Havasu.

I had a first last week when I went jeeping with the Total Karnage and
Vegas Valley Jeep clubs..... I was in a 4 wheel rig when it went wheels up!

It was a very slow motion experience. Fortunately the skill of the driver, and his desire to keep his 6 passenger Longhorn in tact got us out of the spot with not a single scratch in the paint. The rig belonged to John and Martha Zerbless (I hope I spelled that right). The trail did no Karnage to their rig.... but I did. I was climbing in while on camera, and the nylon strap handle grip on the roll bar ripped apart when I tried to lift my carcass into the modestly lifted rig. I offered to replace it, but they were such good sports, they wouldn't let me. Thanks J & M, you are the greatest.

During the interveiw, Debbie Woolsey said that a scratch or a dent is a good thing! She called it a beauty mark. I am curious as to what the general thinking is about spending thousands of dollars building a custom rig to climb over impossible obstacles with the intention of beating and breaking it.... I guess that falls into the catagory of.. "You wouldn't understand.. its a jeep thing!"

Is this a sport for the sane?

At Your Leisure in Idaho?, Montana?, Wyoming?, Arizona?!

This morning, I drove to Pocatello to meet with Bill Fouch, the general manager of KPVI TV. It is an NBC affiliate in Pocatello. It is owned by Sunbelt Television group, with stations in Yuma Arizona; Las Vegas, Reno, Ely, Elko, Winnemucca, Tonapah Nevada; Jackson, Casper, Cheyenne, Sheridan Wyoming, Helena, Great Falls, Havre and Lewiston Montana. Mr. Fouch is also a senior vice president of the group. They are considering joining the At Your Leisure family of stations and this was the first of what we hope will be many visits to bring our outdoor message to your friends, relatives and fellow outdoor recreationists across the west. With so many places to visit, so many activities to engage in, and so many critical land and water issues to get before the public, we hope we can join these markets. To that end, if you pick our show up on the web, or sattelite or know anybody living in these areas, drop them an e-mail or give them a call and have them contact Mr. Fouch with their views on our show.

You could also drop Corby and I a note on the blog to let us know what you think about At Your Leisure in all the states you play in.
