Do you own or enjoy ATVs, UTVs, and off-road motorcycles? Tune in for a discussion regarding how one US county is debating the ban of these Off-road Highway Vehicles from county road ditches, citing safety risks and property damage. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Why Is Ditch Riding So Controversial? The legality of driving ATVs, UTVs, and off-road motorcycles in county road ditches is a highly debated rural policy issue today. While these vehicles are generally prohibited from paved roads, ditch riding laws vary widely by township, county, and state. At the heart of the debate are concerns about safety, property rights, environmental impact, noise and economic effects. Safety Concerns OHVs such as ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes are designed for off-road terrain—not public right-of-ways. Critics argue that: Many OHVs lack standard roadway safety features. Their high center of gravity increases rollover risk. Riders may lose control on uneven ditch terrain. Proximity to vehicle traffic creates collision risks. Property and Environmental Damage Another major issue involves landowner responsibility and infrastructure damage. Ditch riding can: Create ruts and soil erosion Destroy landscaping Damage public right-of-way infrastructure Increase noise complaints Under North Dakota Century Code 63-05-01, adjoining landowners are responsible for cutting weeds and grasses along regularly traveled county and township highways—including vegetation within the public right-of-way. If OHVs damage those areas, landowners may still be legally obligated to maintain them, increasing frustration and cost among property owners. Economic and Community Impact Because laws vary significantly: Check Local Ordinances: Regulations differ by town, county, and state—and can change quickly. Use Designated Trails Only: Riding is typically restricted to clearly marked and approved areas. Understand Age Requirements: Youth operators must meet state licensing or certification requirements. A Decision That Impacts the Future of Rural Communities The debate over ditch riding isn't just about recreation—it's about balancing safety, property rights, environmental stewardship, and economic vitality. As county commissioners and townships consider whether to ban or strictly regulate OHVs in road ditches, the outcome could set a precedent for how rural communities manage off-road recreation in the years ahead.

On a mountain road on Colorado's Guanella Pass, motorcyclist Adam Lamb spots a moose stepping out of the brush. Two seconds later, he's airborne, both arms broken and stranded off the road without cell service. Just behind him is Roger Matthews—a board-certified physician and search-and-rescue volunteer—who arrives and immediately begins managing the scene. In this episode, Adam recounts the moments leading up to the crash while Roger explains how he approached scene safety, organized bystanders, and assessed Adam's injuries as they waited for help to arrive. We explore wildlife hazards, speed and stopping distance, emergency braking, and why first aid training and preparation can make a critical difference when riding remote roads.

en nyfundet identitet og en stærkere forbindelse til deres rødder.En: And although they had walked down the dark stairs to solve a mystery, they now ascended with much more—a newfound identity and a stronger connection to their roots.

  Where in the world am I? In San Diego today.   Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, coming to you from a recent trip to South Korea, now sharing my best travel ideas. I'm about to launch on a 90-day trip around the world.   Listener Story Spotlight   A friend and a listener named Lois recently went to Hawaii. She told me about how she spent a lot of time getting travel insurance for herself and her partner. She had to pay more than she expected as her partner was having a birthday between the day she bought the service and the day of the trip. But she said it was well worth it for her peace of mind.   Quick fire FAQ: The FAQ for today is: Where to find the best travel insurance for a long trip abroad.   1. Start with a neutral comparison engine and you can see this in the shownotes. Why use it first? Where to click Smart filters to enable Lets you price 30-day single-trip plans from dozens of underwriters side-by-side, then click through to the policy certificate in one step. Squaremouth (toggle "Comprehensive" or "Medical-only" to see apples-to-apples pricing). Squaremouth Travel Insurance Medical ≥ $100k, Evac ≥ $250k, "Cancel for Any Reason" if you want maximum flexibility. Gives you consumer-written claim reviews plus AM Best financial ratings right in the results grid. InsureMyTrip (same data feed as Squaremouth but different sort logic). Add "Pre-existing condition waiver" if relevant; check "Adventure sports" if you'll hike or dive. Pulls quotes from some insurers that don't feed aggregators (e.g., Allianz's higher-tier plans) and lists A.M. Best scores. TravelInsurance.com Use the "24/7 assistance" toggle; you'll see which plans outsource help lines. Skeptical check: All three make a commission; none of them has every carrier. Run your trip through at least two engines and see if the so-called "cheapest" plan really is. 2. Cross-reference with an independent ranking list ●      U.S. News "Best Travel Insurance Companies 2025" ranks plans by coverage and claim-paying history—not advertising spend. It's a fast way to see which names (Travelex, Allianz, Tin Leg, etc.) consistently show up in the top tier. U.S. News 3. See what other solo women say ●      SoloTravelerWorld.com keeps an updated "Best Travel Insurance for Solo Travelers" guide that spells out what to look for if you're traveling alone—single-supplement benefits, harassment coverage, and 24-hour crisis lines. Solo Traveler ●      AbsolutelyLucy.com lays out five red flags that matter disproportionately to women (e.g., personal-assault medical limits, emergency contraception exclusions). Absolutely Lucy Read these before you fall for glossy Instagram ads that treat "female-friendly" as a slogan. 4. Kick the tires on the insurer's own site If a plan looks good in a marketplace, open the policy certificate directly on the carrier's website (World Nomads, SafetyWing, Allianz, IMG, etc.). World Nomads publishes unfiltered claim reviews—useful for sniffing out chronic payout delays. World Nomads 5. Verify what your government will—or won't—do The U.S. State Department's Insurance Coverage Overseas page makes it crystal-clear that Uncle Sam does not pay your hospital bill or med-evac. It also links to the embassy medical resources for every country, which tells you how far the nearest trauma center is from your trekking trail. Travel.gov 6. Double-check your credit-card benefits Cards in your wallet may cover trip delay, baggage loss, or secondary car rental insurance. The Points Guy keeps a running tally of cards whose built-in coverage is worth something—and where the gaps are (e.g., no medical evacuation). How to use these resources efficiently Quote your exact dates (don't round your trip to a calendar month; excess days add cost). Filter for medical & evac first; those are the two benefits that can bankrupt you. Ignore marketing buzzwords like "explorer" or "adventure" until you've opened the PDF certificate and searched for the activity you actually plan to do. Run your final-four shortlist past recent claim reviews (Squaremouth, Trustpilot, Reddit r/solotravel) to see if the carrier ghosted people during COVID or the Israel–Gaza cancellations. Purchase directly from the insurer once you've chosen—that avoids aggregator change-fees if you need to modify dates. Stay curious, question every "Top 10" list's methodology, and you'll land the coverage that fits your risk profile—nothing more, nothing less.     60 second confidence challenge   3 things: neighborhood selection, daylight itineraries, scam avoidance Select walkable neighborhoods with public transportation nearby if you don't drive. Read reviews on the AirBNB website before you select. When booking a flight or train, be sure it arrives at a daylight time, which can differ in winter months. If it comes after dark, it will be more of a challenge for you. To avoid scams, be cautious when choosing passwords, logging out of websites, and making online purchases. These are very typical scams. If you are suspicious, you may be right to avoid that vendor and choose another. Don't look like a target, either.     If you like today's Confidence Challenge, Chapter 1 of my book dives deeper—link in description."   See Book A for addressing all of these items. Find it on the website: 5 steps to solo travel.com or on Amazon. It's a series.   Destination Deep‑Dive Today's destination is:       South Korea   I visited South Korea last year and am going back this month.  I landed at Seoul's Inchon Airport. My Korean pronunciation is not good, so please bear with me as I describe my trip. I was excited to see the city through my friend Chris's eyes. We were whisked away to a hotpot dinner, then taken to the French neighborhood in Seoul, where we rested overnight. The next morning, we drove south to visit a town about 2 hours away and stayed in Wolbong-ro (Road), in Seobuk-gu, near SeongJeong.   South Korea is about the same size as the US state of Virginia, or compared to the size of the country of Hungary. If you look at the size of the entire peninsula, you would say it's the same size as Minnesota or the country of Great Britain.   I was only there for four days, but during this time, I was able to see a lot of Seoul and explore some places to share with you.   For example, the Seoul Noryangin Fisheries Wholesale Market is five stories tall and open to the public. It's worth seeing if you like seafood, and you can roam the aisles looking for your favorite fish delicacies.   I visited the Vovo Bidet company and met with the director and some of his team. Have you seen the #1 Bidet firm in Korea? They have retail and wholesale offices in the Los Angeles area as well. I liked the tour of the offices here in Seoul. They even have a Bidet to go. Think about that for a minute. That was in Daebang-dong or Seocho4-dong.   I visited retail stores such as Zara, one of my favorite fashion stores. I had Chinese, Japanese, and Fusion foods. I took subways, buses, taxis, and Ubers, plus trains. I went to Gwannghumun Square, the purple Station #9.   I went to the shopping mall called The Hyundai, and found stores like Zanmang Loopy, the Hyundai Present, and a great coffee and tea shop.   I learned about Hanguel, the Korean alphabet, and saw the statue of Sejong the Great. There was also another statue of Admiral YiSun Sin. The Bukchon Honok Village is a quiet residential area. Jogyasa Temple is where you will see Buddhism. Hongdae is the neighborhood for independent artists.   Yonsei University was a place I wanted to visit next time, as I was in the neighborhood and liked it a lot. Gangnam style, well, maybe next time. I tried new foods, such as mung bean pancakes and hotteok dessert. We had a wonderful dinner at Sushi-ya Shabu-ya, about an hour from Seoul, near Korea Nazarene University in Cheonan-si-Buldang1-dong.   Recommended: Relax in a tea house.     Smart Move and Slip-up pairings We arrived in     In Korea, we were unable to enter the building because we had insufficient funds on our transit cards. Instead, we had to see the office at the kiosk and pay for the train. It was not much, but it did take a few minutes. We arrived well ahead of the recommended 3 hours, so that was not an issue.     60-second confidence challenge   Do you or don't you tip? Not in South Korea. But it's always smart to ask. Be confident when you know the expectations.   Resources Roundup   If you are looking for more solo female travel resources, you can find several tips and ways to navigate the pitfalls, such as paying the difference on the transit card when traveling long distances or knowing when to tip.   Take away mantra and goodbye.   When you get lost, don't get upset. Get found. You will be better off if you cool your brain down instead of heating it incorrectly. Chill, and you'll be found sooner. Dr. Travelbest's tip #760.   Thanks for listening.

Mark Kenyon is no stranger to Mountain & Prairie listeners—he's the author of "That Wild Country," host of the Wired to Hunt podcast, and the newly minted Director of Conservation at MeatEater. He's also one of the most voracious readers I know. Every few years, Mark and I record a special episode where we discuss our top 10 favorite books in a particular category. The first one was our top 10 conservation books, then we explored our top 10 books about the American West—you can find links to both of those episodes in the show notes. For this episode, we decided to discuss our top 10 adventure books—a category that both Mark and I love and have spent decades reading. We each brought five books that have stayed with us. Some are classics. Some are newer. Some are brutal. Some are unexpectedly funny. All of them reveal something about the human drive to embrace discomfort and move toward the unknown rather than away from it. Yes, Mark and I love reading adventure books for entertainment and enjoyment, but we also both try to extract lessons from these wild stories that can be applied to our own lives. Whether we're thinking about family, assessing risk, leadership, attitude, or simply not taking ourselves too seriously, there are important lessons to be learned from even the most outlandish adventures. So this conversation goes much deeper than a simple "Read this book because it's good"—we discuss how these books have shaped us and how they continue to influence our thinking. And if you like book recommendations, be sure to sign up for my bimonthly book recommendations email. For more than ten years, I've been sending one email every other month featuring books I recently read and highly recommend. The topics and genres are all over the place—and can admittedly be a little weird—but people seem to enjoy them, so I keep sending them. I just published my recommendations for January and February 2026, so you can find a link in the show notes and sign up if you're interested.

EP. 403 - High Sands Adventure (PT. 1) by Travis O'Neil, Zach Yuhas, Josh Harvey & Rickey Walters& Rickey Walters

#214 - What if the lowest point isn't a dead end but a doorway? That's the charge at the heart of our conversation with ultrarunner and dance dad John Calabrese, who traded alcohol and anxiety for sunrise miles, grassroots races, and a community that made space for the mess and the miracle. John takes us from Navy service during 9/11 to the long, uneasy middle where divorce and two DUIs forced a reckoning—and how running became a daily anchor, not a quick fix.We go deep on the mental game that defines ultrarunning: why DNFs can be teachers, how to crawl out of the pain cave when dark thoughts hit at mile 70, and the surprising ways anger can be channeled into forward motion. John opens up about balancing training with fatherhood, building a life around dance competitions and last‑minute race entries, and the unglamorous logistics that make or break 100‑milers—drop bags, headlamps, sleep deprivation, and the sacred joy of seeing another headlamp after hours alone in the woods. He shares strategies from the Wild Oak 100, lessons from finishing and failing there, and the rule of thumb that keeps him honest about cutoffs and recovery.We also explore the state of the sport: the pull between UTMB-era spectacle and the magic of low-cost, community-built events where a car trunk doubles as an aid station. John admits he has a road runner's engine and a trail runner's soul, dreams out loud about Badwater, Western States, and maybe one day Barkley, and makes the case that purpose beats pace every time. If you're feeling stuck—whether with alcohol, identity, or the grind of daily life—his message is simple and fierce: don't quit the thing you love, take one step, and run your race on your terms.Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review with your favorite takeaway—what mental trick gets you through your hardest miles?Be sure and give John a follow on Instagram @breezytrailhead.

Story Transcript:Ca: La brisa suau de primavera acaronava l'aire mentre el sol naixia lentament per damunt de Barcelona.En: The gentle spring breeze caressed the air as the sun slowly rose above Barcelona.Ca: Des del Castell de Montjuïc, es podia veure la ciutat desvetllant-se, plena de vida.En: From Castell de Montjuïc, you could see the city awakening, full of life.Ca: Montserrat estava emocionada.En: Montserrat was excited.Ca: La seva passió per la història l'havia portat fins aquí, amb l'esperança de descobrir històries ocultes del passat.En: Her passion for history had brought her here, hoping to uncover hidden stories of the past.Ca: El recorregut començaria aviat, guiat per la Gemma, una guia amb molta experiència.En: The tour would start soon, guided by Gemma, a very experienced guide.Ca: A prop de Montserrat, un jove amb una càmera penjada al coll mirava atentament les torres del castell.En: Near Montserrat, a young man with a camera hanging around his neck was intently watching the towers of the castle.Ca: Oriol, fotògraf de vocació, cercava el moment perfecte per capturar la màgia del lloc.En: Oriol, a photographer by vocation, was searching for the perfect moment to capture the magic of the place.Ca: Amb la International Women's Day en ment, volia crear una imatge que transmetés empoderament i història.En: With International Women's Day in mind, he wanted to create an image that conveyed empowerment and history.Ca: Quan l'Oriol va escoltar la veu clara de la Gemma donant inici a la visita, es va unir ràpidament al grup.En: When Oriol heard the clear voice of Gemma initiating the visit, he quickly joined the group.Ca: "Benvinguts al Castell de Montjuïc," va dir la Gemma, somrient.En: "Welcome to Castell de Montjuïc," said Gemma, smiling.Ca: "Avui descobrirem història i misteri.En: "Today we will discover history and mystery."Ca: "A mesura que avançaven pel castell, Montserrat escoltava atentament cada paraula de la Gemma, esperant trobar alguna referència a aquelles històries menys conegudes que tant anhelava.En: As they moved through the castle, Montserrat listened carefully to every word from Gemma, hoping to find some reference to those lesser-known stories she so longed for.Ca: Mentrestant, l'Oriol feia clics hereus de la seva càmera, intentant capturar la llum que s'escolpia entre les pedres antigues.En: Meanwhile, Oriol was clicking away with his camera, trying to capture the light sculpting itself between the ancient stones.Ca: "La llegenda diu que aquí baix, sota aquestes pedres, hi ha tresors amagats," va dir la Gemma mentre assenyalava una antiga porta mig oculta per la vegetació.En: "The legend says that down here, beneath these stones, there are hidden treasures," said Gemma as she pointed to an old door half-hidden by vegetation.Ca: Aquella afirmació va encendre la curiositat de Montserrat.En: This statement sparked Montserrat's curiosity.Ca: Va veure l'Oriol mirar-la amb un somriure còmplice.En: She saw Oriol looking at her with a conspiratorial smile.Ca: Sense saber-ho, tenien un interès comú.En: Unknowingly, they shared a common interest.Ca: "Anem a veure-ho!En: "Let's go see it!"Ca: " va proposar l'Oriol sense pensar-ho dues vegades.En: proposed Oriol without a second thought.Ca: La Gemma, captant l'entusiasme dels dos nouvinguts, els va portar per un camí poc transitat.En: Gemma, catching the enthusiasm of the two newcomers, led them down a less-traveled path.Ca: "Trobar aquest racó no és part de la ruta habitual," va dir amb un aire de confidència.En: "Finding this corner is not part of the usual route," she said with an air of confidence.Ca: Montserrat i Oriol es van mirar amb complicitat, començant una amistat que no esperaven.En: Montserrat and Oriol exchanged a knowing look, beginning an unexpected friendship.Ca: Un cop allà, davant d'un racó oblidat del castell, la postal era perfecta: el sol es reflectia en les parets de pedra, creant un espectacle de llums i ombres.En: Once there, in front of a forgotten corner of the castle, the scene was perfect: the sun reflected off the stone walls, creating a spectacle of light and shadow.Ca: Oriol sabia que finalment havia trobat la seva imatge.En: Oriol knew he had finally found his image.Ca: Montserrat, emocionada, es sentia rica en nova informació per la seva investigació.En: Montserrat, excited, felt enriched with new information for her research.Ca: “Oriol, les teves fotos podrien acompanyar les meves històries”, va proposar Montserrat, veient l'encaix perfecte.En: "Oriol, your photos could accompany my stories," proposed Montserrat, seeing the perfect fit.Ca: Els ulls de l'Oriol van brillar amb entusiasme.En: Oriol's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.Ca: Sense adonar-se'n, la seva creativitat havia revifat.En: Without realizing it, his creativity had been rekindled.Ca: Amb aquesta descoberta i l'entusiasme compartit pel passat i la narrativa visual, van decidir unir esforços.En: With this discovery and their shared enthusiasm for the past and visual storytelling, they decided to join forces.Ca: Montserrat, sovint tímida a l'hora de treballar en equip, va trobar confiança en compartir la seva passió.En: Montserrat, often shy about collaborating, found confidence in sharing her passion.Ca: I així, al peu de Montjuïc, una nova història va començar a teixir-se, enriquint tant la història col·lectiva com el vincle entre Montserrat i Oriol.En: And so, at the foot of Montjuïc, a new story began to weave itself, enriching both the collective history and the bond between Montserrat and Oriol.

Instead of generic workouts or chasing aesthetics, WeShape focuses on: Movement quality over brute strength Longevity over short-term results Self-care over self-criticism Consistency over intensity Tyler shares his personal journey from injury to rebuilding his body the smart way by learning to listen to his body instead of pushing through pain.

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 302), I preach from Luke chapter 5 and the call of Christ to Simon Peter, “Launch out into the deep.” Serving God is not meant to be safe, shallow, or merely comfortable. Biblical Christianity is an adventure of obedience and faith. When Jesus steps into your boat, He will always call you beyond routine, beyond fear, and beyond what you can manage on your own. The deep water is where faith is tested, where surrender becomes real, and where the power of God is revealed. I share how obedience opens the door to Spirit-filled living, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and a life that is led, not by comfort, but by calling. From the baptism of the Holy Spirit to moments of risk, provision, and divine guidance, this message is a call to courageous faith. Leaders especially must learn to obey God step by step, right where they are, and trust Him with the outcome.
