This is one of my Story Podcasts for your listening pleasure as you drive through Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. 

This story is about how I found a book in an old book store in West Yellowstone which opened my eyes up to all the back country trails in Yellowstone Park. On this hike, we have some really funny escapades as well as you're truly learning a really valuable life long lesson after I got my hat handed to me in a big way. 

In this last podcast for the 2023 season, I cover a couple road closures that you need to now about and how you can still go see these areas on foot. 
I then go over the operating hours for The Corral Drive In in Gardiner and how you can avoid driving there needlessly like I did!
We then go over all the fun activities that last all summer long in the town of West Yellowstone including how you can enter a real mountain bike biathlon and all you have to do is show up and anyone from 8 to 80 is welcome. 
And for you gun enthusiast out there, I introduce you to Mark Shepard who builds some of the finest, one of a kind guns in the world. 

In this podcast, we cover how finally a few great trails, that are not to be missed on any Yellowstone Park vacation, are finally open after the snow melted off in the Canyon Area of the park.  And we also discuss the Grand Tetons and where you can expect to hike due to the high amount of snow still on its peaks. 
We then go over our new Facebook Group where you can join in and post your pics and videos on our pages for everyone to see. We even had an explorer who saw 10 bears in one day and as such, we have started up a Bear Sighting Competition where whoever sees the most bears each summer will receive notoriety on our Explore Pages as well as free t-shirts for everyone in their group! Should be a lot of fun. 
We also cover how riding 4 wheelers is going to be delayed on the what have been called the Best Trails in North America due to the heavy snow fall but also where you CAN ride if you are getting here in the next few weeks. We also go over how the White Water Rafting is just off the charts this year. Give me a lemon and I will make some lemonade and put a shot of Vodka in it! 
We also cover where and how to rent bicycles so you can get around better in the geyser basins and not miss anything. And we shot a video for the best ride in the Geyser Basin and discuss what you can see win this podcast. 
We finish off with updates on the road construction as well. 

This is the second in my Story Podcasts where I regale you guys with some of my adventures growing up in the Yellowstone Area and in particular, Henry's Lake which is just 15 short minutes from the entry to Yellowstone Park. 

In this podcast, I tell you three stories. The first is about how I caught the largest trout caught in North America when I was only 14, followed by a huge bet and how a man is only as good as his word. And we finish it off with the best magic show I have ever seen. 

This podcasts covers everything you need to know before you arrive for your 2023 Yellowstone and Grand Teton vacation this summer. 
Including some VERY IMPORTANT Road Closures that WILL affect your vacation and what you can do to avoid wasting time in Yellowstone sitting in your car for hours and I tell you how to avoid the construction areas entirely if you are visiting Yellowstone and I even have an alternate route for you to get to the Tetons. 
We also cover how the 3rd highest snow total in park history has affected everything from the Bison migrating into the park, to what is open and closed in the Geyser Basins as well as the Canyon Area because everything is on about a 2-3 week delay and how you can compensate for that delay. 
We also cover new bear locations for those of you wanting to see a bear on your Yellowstone Vacation as well as how one bear has forced an unforeseen closure to the Mud Volcano Area. 
We also cover the Grand Tetons and how Jenny Lake is still frozen solid and how accessing Yellowstone from the south is going to be greatly affected by the road construction between West Thumb and Old Faithful. 
We finish off this podcast with the announcement of the much needed and much anticipated opening of West Yellowstone's first world class outfitters shop called West Park Outdoor's. And how they can now provid you with some top notch gear that you may have forgotten or weren't prepared for and where you can also rent the best Bear Spray as well as High Powered Binoculars for finding Bears, Wolves and Elk who may be a bit too far from the roads to see with the naked eye.  

As anyone who has listened to my Yellowstone & Grand Teton podcasts that you can listen to if you want more info than the is shown in the guidebook, knows that I tell a LOT of stories about the areas of the parks you are visiting. And I get a LOT of requests to hear even more stories so here goes. 

This is the first in what will be a series of my Story Podcasts where I will tell you some really fun, sometimes sad and some rather interesting stories about the areas in and around the parks for you to enjoy as you drive along. 

In this podcast, I tell the hilarious story of what was and is one of the most famous bears in the history of bear's-Snagglethooth! Who actually resides in the West Yellowstone Museum right now and how he tore my Aunt Rosalind's brand new Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser to shreds one night at the town dump. 

I then follow it up with another museum story but this time it's at the long gone museum that sat along the shores of Lake Henry's where I grew up as a kid and how I found an old picture that showed  how the Indian's that called Yellowstone home used the then swampy lake as sacred ground and how their burial plots were scattered on mounds in the lake by the hundreds. And how I almost found one as I was water skiing in the lake hundreds of years later. 

It's all fun listening and there will be other Story Podcasts to follow! 

This podcast covers what is probably the most intriguing., thought provoking and interesting legal paper ever written about Yellowstone Park which was penned by attorney Brian C. Kalt called The Perfect Crime. 

I recently interviewed Brian in a Zoom call you get to hear excerpts directly from the author himself in regards to just how it is theoretically possible to commit a litany of crimes, including murder, in a certain section of Yellowstone Park and get away with it-SCOTT FREE!
And we discuss the loopholes in our laws and Constitution that have created that loophole and what needs to happen to close it. 

I finish out the podcast with a complete reading of The Perfect Crime verbatim for you guys so you don't have to look it up yourselves and can listen to my reading while your driving down the road.  

It's a very thought provoking concept that actually exists in a remote portion of Yellowstone Park and  I think it is just a matter of tome before someone puts it to the test.
