Rescuing animals is not for the faint of heart. Every day, volunteers go out of their way to rescue animals in danger of harm, including unnecessary euthanasia. Recently, Linda decided to stop fearing everything that could go wrong with volunteering and just jump in to help save a few dogs by driving them on part of a freedom ride. Jarrett helped her make sure everything was ok at home so she could do the transport and assisted her when she brought an unexpected visitor home. In this episode, they share one of their most adventurous experiences thus far, and how to prepare to volunteer for your first freedom ride.

This episode is about Jarrett's solo backpacking trip of the the Lone Star Hiking Trail (LSHT) over 5 days. The LSHT is a 96 mile long hiking trail in East Texas. The trail travels through connecting public lands of the Sam Houston National Forest and private lands. It also happens to be the longest continuous hiking trail in the State of Texas. 

 Arbor Hills Nature Preserve is located on the outskirts of Plano, TX in the DFW area and is a hidden gem of nature hidden inside the metroplex. The park has pavilions restrooms, 3 miles of paved trails, 3 miles of unpaved trails, and 3 miles of biking trails. If you need a break from city life, you don't have to go far. Just make a quick stop to Arbor Hills.

A day trip to local outdoor attractions around Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. LOcations include Diriyah, Wadi Namar, Wadi Hanifa, and Heet Cave.

The Edge of the World (Jebel Fihrayn) is located in the desert northwest of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This desert is rocky, filled with cliffs so breathtaking that from atop the escarpment, all that lies in front of you is the horizon, making it seem like you're at the edge of the world.

It's part of the much longer Tuwaiq Escarpment and drops down 1,000 feet into an ancient ocean bed. While standing on the cliffs, you'll spot dried rivers weaving across the land, and see camels moving far below. These camels and their herders follow a well-trodden path, as an ancient caravan route once passed within its shadow.
