Tue, 23 Feb 2021 - 1h 06min - 83 - Restore Hetch Hetchy in Yosemite National Park, with Spreck Rosekrans
Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park was described by John Muir as “one of nature’s rarest and most precious mountain temples" and was once considered one of the most unique and diverse ecosystems in the world. However, in 1913 the city of San Francisco won Congressional approval to dam and flood Hetch Hetchy, thus burying this extraordinary valley under 300 feet of water. Spreck Rosekrans is the Executive Director at Restore Hetch Hetchy and is leading the fight to bring back what was once lost.

Matt and Karen weren’t always associated with National Parks. It wasn’t until they experienced a series of sudden and tragic events in their lives that they decided that it was now or never to go on the adventure of a lifetime. So they set out to visit all 59 National Parks in two years, something that very few have ever done. Since then, they have been to the additional three that have been added to the National Park system. Their lives have been forever impacted by the beauty of our nation’s public lands and they have become stewards for the protection and preservation of these magnificent spaces, authoring the “Dear Bob and Sue” book series on their adventures through the National Parks system. If you love National Parks and a few good laughs, then you’ll absolutely love this episode!

Tue, 18 Feb 2020 - 1h 08min - 42 - Obsessed with Fly Fishing and Raising Kids in the Outdoors, with Amber Toner
Amber Toner runs The Bug Parade, a successful blog and Instagram account, where her and her husband show the world how a family can raise two boys, yet still make time to get in the outdoors and go fly fishing.
One of the awesome advantages to being a fly fisherman is that trout need cold, fast moving water to survive. This type of environment is usually found in rivers and streams coming out of the mountains and is Amber’s bread and butter. Hailing from Calgary, Alberta and being located only about 90 minutes from Banff, she has quick access to some of the most pristine and downright beautiful scenery in North America. As a true master fisherman, she is also equally comfortable in saltwater and catching monster ocean fish on just a dry fly.
Amber is committed to exposing her family to the outdoors and is eager to see more parents making that a priority in their lives. This episode is a fun conversation between two outdoor enthusiasts and one that every parent should hear.
