Moab locals ascended Potato Salad Hill in a to-scale, cardboard model of a Jeep Wrangler during Easter Jeep Safari. We also hear from our partners at KUNC about how the Gila River Indian Community will be paid to use less water to bolster Lake Mead. Plus, we hear a story about the federal government’s plan to help Navajo coal miners suffering from black lung disease. Maggie McGuire of the Moab Sun News previews the Moab City Council meeting.
