EPISODE #246: PROTECT OUR WESTERN LANDS!

, , , ,

“God bless America. Let’s save some of it.” — Edward Abbey

One of the senators Utah sent to Washington has slipped a very evil scheme into the big federal budgeting bill, language that’s vague enough to allow the beginning of the sell-off of our Western Public Lands. Including National Forests. Not including national parks, monuments, etc., but very much including Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service lands.

In fact, that’s what this senator, “Based Mike Lee,” titled this section of the Senate legislation: MANDATORY DISPOSAL OF BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT LAND AND NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEM LAND. No.

EPISODE #177: THE HAUNTED MOUNTAINS

, , ,

Never get out of the car.

Four decades ago, Betty and Barney Hill were driving back from a visit to Niagara Falls when they endured a strange assault in the deeply haunted White Mountains. Ever since their strange story went national in the mid-1960s, we all know the scene: a dark night on a lonesome highway, and something comes out of the sky, or out of the woods, and then it all becomes very hazy.

This is EPISODE #177: THE HAUNTED MOUNTAINS. Soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver, written & hosted by Ken Layne, and broadcasting tonight at 10 in Joshua Tree on KCDZ 107.7 FM, and Saturdays at 9 p.m. on KZMU 90.1 FM & 106.7 FM in Moab, Utah.
