The 1848 discovery of gold in California didn't just change the lives of those that rushed across the country to strike it rich. It also shaped the development of the early United States in a big way. California being the 31st state in the union may seen kinda odd being that's its about as far west as you can get and there's a lotta area in between. Well that's all thanks to the thousands and thousands of people who braved the California Trail or the sea voyage around South America for months heading west to seek their fortunes. A majority never struck pay dirt in the Golden State but those 49er's and also a pretty sizable group of international gold seekers set down roots to establish the unique culture of the San Francisco area. It's not all sunshine and nuggets though, when you get a ton of people all rushing to one area to fight for wealth it's gonna get messy. All that and more on this week's exciting episode of Historically High. Support the show

Just west of South Pass, Wyoming, overland travelers of the mid 19th century came to a fork in the road.  The route to the left...

Bigfoot Outlaw introduces The Lovelock Cave Lore! Involves The Redhead Giants! Check out Grizzly's Store! https://grizzlyllc.myshopify.com If you have an encounter you like to share or would like to be a guest on our show, email us at bigfootgrizz@gmail.com Considered to be one of the most important sites of North American archaeology, the story of Nevada's first residents and how they used the spectacular, still sacred Lovelock Cave is one incredible read. Nestled in northwestern Nevada's high desert about 20 minutes southwest of Lovelock, along Nevada's Cowboy Corridor road trip, this ancient cave was first used by the Northern Paiutes thousands of years ago. When they, and other tribes who lived in and around Nevada's Great Basin, moved locations as seasons and conditions changed, Lovelock Cave (and others like it) was used for shelter and storage of clothing and raw materials and supplies, among other purposes. All of these rock shelters are special, but Lovelock Cave is significant thanks to the thousands of American Indian artifacts uncovered here, including the Tule Duck Decoy, something so sacred it's now Nevada's official state artifact. While artifacts rediscovered here were surveyed, collected, and put on display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, explore Lovelock Cave by jumping on the well-maintained Lovelock Cave Backcountry Byway for unblemished examples of landscapes used and enjoyed by the Northern Paiute, Lovelock ranchers, and tons of incredible wildlife viewing. Long before early explorers and emigrants followed the California Trail through the area, the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad and Lovelock was formed, and Interstate 80 was established, this northwestern Nevada valley—the Humdboldt Sink— was once an incredibly lush oasis, filled with an ancient lake system and surrounding marshes. Over time, water levels receded and wave action created a variety of caves, including Lovelock Cave. During this period of time (around 2,580 B.C.), the Northern Paiute used Lovelock Cave to store thousands of items over thousands of years, ranging from hunting tools, clothing, and sagebrush sandals to basketry, beads and ornaments, animal hides, rocks and minerals, and other items that they would trade between regions. https://grizzlyllc.myshopify.com https://paranormalhub.com/grizzly-hunt Free Conceal Carry Laws of The USA From USCCA!

Episode 173 of our writers podcast has us talking about ingenuity and grit of travelers along the 19th Century road known as the California Trail. CC is writing a historical novel, and it was our good luck when we stumbled upon the California Trail Interpretive Center on the first day of our Big A** Trip across America. This Harry Reid project sits along Interstate 80 (exit 292, to be exact) west of Elko, Nevada, and it provides visitors the in-depth historical look at the mass exodus to California via Nevada. As writers, we talk about our visit, and the mass amount of materials accumulated by the center, to illustrate the importance and fun of doing research for historical fiction. Like our old friend and one-time Nevadan Mark Twain reportedly said, “It's no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.” Check out this podcast and other podcasts at our website www.carsonhume.com TIA LYL! Link to the center: https://www.californiatrailcenter.org

Soccer player, businessman, private pilot and super interesting man – That is Nick Haritatos!  I don't even know where to begin with Nick.  He is absolutely incredible. His book – No Limits – is a best seller, and talks about his life in Greece, South Africa and Southern California.  Nick's father owned a bakery, which – you must read the book – saved his father's life.  Nick was born in Greece, and as a child survived gangrene.  He built a car – not a go cart but a sedan type children's car when he was young, a rusty nail pierced his legs, and, afraid to tell his mother, suffered through the pain.   Because of the political issues in Greece, his family moved to Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. Nick, as a teen, he opened his own business, and subsequently, and opened several more business, including a drive in movie, but not what Americans view as a drive in movie. This business had everything – a play area for children, a bar for the adults and more.  He met his late wife, Anne, during this time.   From Rhodesia he and Anne relocated to Durbin, South Africa.  He started another business, learned how to fly, and started their family. Nick and Anne have three children, who are involved in Nick's businesses.   Political unrest in South Africa brought him and his family to San Diego.  AND – he started several businesses in San Diego. He also walked the California Trail with several friends – a 16 year incredible journey!  Nick is a fascinating person, and I learned a lot just talking with him, and reading his book – NO LIMITS, available on Amazon. Nick's email is nolimitsbynick@gmail.com. His book is the perfect XMAS present, in a gift basket with wine, bread and cheese. Not only will Nick's incredible business savvy – everything he touches turns to gold – amaze you, his life is incredible.    --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelemarotta/support

"What you're doing is making a difference not only for this generation, but if you do it right, it's making a difference for future generations." Phil Gaines and I had the chance to record an episode together while attending the 2023 State Park Director's Conference at the Mormon State Historic Site in Genoa, Nevada. It was the perfect opportunity to discuss our experiences at the conference, with Phil sharing his unique perspective as a former park director now representing Clemson University. There are so many highlights from this conference that one episode may not be enough. For example, our session on disruptive renovation is a topic we are going to need to explore in a future episode. There are challenges in parks nationwide, with the top concern being recruitment and retention of employees. In this ever-changing world, parks have to find ways to stay relevant and stay ahead of the game. Some have tapped into the power of artificial intelligence to elevate the visitor experience. We can't overlook the significance of the conference being at Mormon Station, the first settlement in Nevada, and the California Trail that passed through Genoa. This leads to a conversation on the importance of preserving stories and land in parks. There is a need for adaptation and planning to sustain these treasures for future generations. Throughout the episode, we reflect on the efforts to manage and accommodate the increasing number of visitors to these popular destinations. This conference did a great job doing its part with a fantastic exhibitor area. The space was filled with vendors showcasing innovative ideas to support parks, recreation, and conservation. Make sure to listen to our recap of the 2023 State Park Director's Conference. Phil and I provide insights into the challenges, triumphs, and inspiring innovations within the park industry.

The Forty-Niners: A Chronicle of the California Trail and El Dorado

Patrick learns he has the psychic ability of clairaudience during our paranormal investigation at Papa's Ranch House. Originally built in the 1840's and added on to in the early 1930's this haunted saloon is undeniably one of Nevada's hidden haunted gems. Full of paranormal activity from decades of history beginning during the pioneer era of the early American wild west. Its historic owners extending their hospitality to people from all walks of life. Lonesome cowboys, the first Americans to travel by train, prospecting goldmines following the California Trail in hopes of striking gold in the adjoining state, and even Miss Marilyn Monroe herself! Also known as the Historic Lincoln Highway Saloon, today this haunted location is decorated floor to ceiling with antiques it's current owner has adopted to add to its unforgettable ambiance and western-charm. It's no wonder that upon entering Papa's Ranch House you're immediately greeted by both the living and dead residents. From the delicious homemade pizza and cannoli's (prepared by the living of course!) to the residual hauntings of giggling brothel girls running through the courtyard, a reverend preaching The Gospel out an upstair's window, chivalrous cowboys tipping' their hats to passerby's, and a random entity who is help captive by the once "inn-keeper" of the saloon in an attempt to keep all "riff-raff at bay", there is no shortage of genuine paranormal activity. Visit Brian at Papa's Pizzeria in Wadsworth, Nevada or leave him and his restaurant some PsycKick love on their Facebook page!

Tomorrow, Saturday 24, is National Public Lands Day (NPLD), a celebration that brings out thousands of volunteers to help restore and improve public lands around the country. In this week's Nevada Wild, Ashley Sanchez and Aaron Keller sit down with Bureau of Land Management Archaeologist Alicia Jensen, who fills us in on an NPLD cleanup volunteer opportunity at the Fernley Swales. This site a mile north of Fernley, is the only place where emigrant wagons and oxen left deep sand swales as they traversed the California Trail. Alicia fills us in on the history of the site, the cleanup event, other NPLD events, and how critical these events are in protecting Historic Preservation sites, like the Fernley Swales.

Check out the Whitcomb Discoveries and see if Daniel ever learns what happens to his parents, how he knows the Donner Party, and what life was like during the Gold Rush era. The Yosemite Trail Discovered by Marie Sontag Join sixteen-year-old Daniel Whitcomb as he juggles a growing relationship with Virginia Reed, one of the survivors of the Donner Party, helps his Miwok friend learn how to read and write, and manages the account ledgers for his guardian, Jim Savage at his trading posts in the California goldfields. Is Jim correct when he says, You can't possess what you can't protect? Does that justify fighting the Yosemites after they attack Jim's posts or the Mariposa Battalion's entrance into Yosemite to rout out the Ahwahneechee? And will Daniel ever make it back to Illinois to solve the mystery of his parents' deaths? Yosemite Trail Discovered provides an intriguing read for YA readers as they explore the clash of cultures that led to the whites' first public discovery of Yosemite Valley.

Fort Bridger was originally a 19th-century fur trading outpost established in 1842, on Blacks Fork of the Green River, in what is now Uinta County, Wyoming, United States. It became a vital resupply point for wagon trains on the Oregon Trail, California Trail, and Mormon Trail. Fort Bridger State Historic Site maintains and interprets historic structures and remnants from its 5 eras of occupation which include the Mountain Men, Mormons, Military, Milkbarn/ Motel and Museum. The site also interprets the many trails that came through Fort Bridger including the Oregon Trail, California Trail, Mormon Pioneer Trail, Pony Express Trail, Overland Trail, Cherokee Trail and Lincoln Highway.

Als in den 1840er Jahren auf dem nordamerikanischen Kontinent die großen Siedlungsströme nach Westen einsetzen, entscheiden sich im Frühling 1846 auch die Familien Donner und Reed dazu, ihr Glück in Kalifornien zu suchen. Eingeschneit gemeinsam mit anderen Familien in der Sierra Nevada sollten sie später als Donner Gruppe zu zweifelhafter Berühmtheit gelangen. Der Grund: Kannibalismus. Um nicht zu verhungern, entschieden sich viele dafür, die Toten zu essen.

I'm particularly excited to share Episode 29 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast with you all, as it's a more personal episode in which I share my own recent running and nutrition experiences, and I also introduce you to my fellow adventure-seeker and running buddy for life - my husband Eric.My goal for this episode is to demonstrate that running (or whatever sport you enjoy engaging in) is not cancelled! I know how disappointing race cancellations have been this year, but that does not mean that you can't get out there and create your own adventures for yourself. I wanted to use my own experience of choosing my “event” as a case study of sorts - how we picked our target run, trained, created our nutrition plans, picked the right gear, dealt with childcare challenges etc. I also finally share my running background in more detail, especially related to running postpartum. There's so much left to say, but it was nice to chat briefly about it and I hope it resonates with some of you. Suffice to say, I finally have my running mojo back! Ultimately, I hope to inspire my listeners to keep challenging themselves and creating fun goals - whether it's running for the first time, racing a virtual 10k, hiking or biking somewhere you've always wanted to go locally, tackling longer efforts, or [insert bucket list item here].  SO, with all that said, what did we do?!?! Well, we hadn't expected to have the opportunity to run anything too long when we planned this trip, so it was such a pleasant surprise when we discovered later in June that my parents were on board with watching both kiddos all day so that we could have a big running adventure! We are fortunate to live very close to the most gorgeous redwood forest with miles and miles of beautiful trails - Nisene Marks in Aptos, California. We were perfectly happy running 1-2 hours there once a week with some shorter beach runs thrown in, but with the possibility of something bigger in the picture, we immediately thought of the Skyline to Sea trail (my local bucket list item), which is just slightly further North of where my family lives in Santa Cruz. Have a listen to learn more about how we chose our route, trained in Nisene, created our nutrition plans, and much more. We had so much fun recording this episode outside on my deck! And FYI, it's broken up into three parts, in case you want to skip around (this episode is quite long…):August 10th - Pre-run discussion including our running backgrounds, choosing our target route, nutrition planning, gear, etc. This is the longest section (about one hour)August 12th - Short voice memos recorded from the trails - we had to capture things in the moment!August 14th - Post-run recap, with a big focus on nutrition and how recovery is goingWe loved using Spring Energy products - if you want to try, visit their site & use "Eatforendurance" for 10% off! The scary part of this is that just over a week after running this route in Big Basin, the whole area (among so many other places locally and elsewhere in California) is now on fire. It's so frightening - thankfully our home here in the Southern part of Santa Cruz is safe, but the air quality is poor and ash is everywhere. We are staying inside for the time being. I feel very lucky that we are OK, and my heart goes out to everyone affected more deeply by the fires! I'm hoping that our beautiful State Parks will be okay too.  With that said, I really hope you enjoy this episode that celebrates our beautiful State Parks, and wraps up Season 2 of the podcast!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/eatforendurance)

Rick, Elara, Little Mule (newly named car) and Bessie (not-quite-newly named trailer) are nearly home after almost 6 weeks on the road on the Great American Cattle Drive 2020.  After a quick detour across historic Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and California, they have decided that they definitely have the good life travelling in the modern age.  Especially with air conditioning. The Oregon Trail.  The California Trail.  The Mormon Trail.  The Bozeman Trail.  The Pony Express Trail.At least this time Elara didn't eat it halfway across, due to Cholera (all of you 70's and 80's gamers got that one, we're sure). Links:https://www.nps.gov/oreg/planyourvisit/maps.htmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platte_River https://www.nationalgeographic.org/photo/trails-west/ https://www.wyohistory.org/encyclopedia/oregon-trail-ruts http://milkingdevons.org/ https://classicreload.com/oregon-trail.htmlSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/agriCulturePodcast)

By Davy Crockett  Dick Mendenhall runs in the 1977 Western States 100 The establishment of the Western States Endurance Run (Western States 100) in 1977 was one of the most important pivotal events in the history of ultrarunning. During the next decade the existing ultrarunning sport experienced a major shift from roads and tracks to trails and mountains. Other 100-mile races were spawned from the Western States 100, patterning their mountain race formats and practices after those established by Western States. A new generation of ultrarunners came into the sport and the Western States Endurance Run became the most famous mountain trail 100-miler. Western States validly proclaims that it owns 100-mile racing’s richest and most compelling history. “Western States has been home to some of the sport’s most stirring and legendary competitions and has spurred the capacity of spirit of all runners, of all abilities and from all walks of life, from all over the globe. Western States remains one of the undisputed crown jewels of human endurance.” With such a rich and long history that has been told and retold over the years, it is not surprising that folklore has crept in, and historic errors introduced by mistake or on purpose, making the legend of Western States and its origin story even more compelling. With the establishment of the Internet and social media, much like the “telephone game” myths have been told and retold. The Western States Endurance Run grew out of the Western States Endurance Ride in the Sierras, in California. That equestrian event also has quite a bit of folklore attached to it. But this fact is clear, there would not have been a Run if the Ride had not existed. The riders who were organizers of the run had the experience and wisdom to establish the Western State Endurance Run. I thought it would be interesting and helpful to look at many of these myths and some clarifying truths about the origin story of both the Western States Trail Ride and Western States Endurance Run.  Major events like these, at times approach "mythical" status and place too much credit on certain individuals, pushing aside heritage and others who paved the way for these historical events to take place. The intent of this episode it to have some fun looking at the facts and get the reader thinking about history. Myth #1: The Western States Trail runs all the way to Salt Lake City, Utah Western States 100 runs on the historic Western States Trail. The Western States website and other websites erroneously state that the Western States Trail extends all the way from Salt Lake City, Utah. It does not and never did. The trail that crosses the desert of Nevada is the California Trail. In Western Nevada there were branches off the California trail to various gold field destinations or settlements. The main routes initially (1846–48) were the Truckee Trail to the Sacramento Valley and after about 1849 the Carson Trail route to the American River and to the Pacerville gold diggings. There was no route called the Western States Trail in the 1800s. But a route did exist, used primarily by gold miners, that went from Lake Tahoe to Auburn, California. This segment came to be named “Western States Trail” in 1956 by Wendell Robie (1895-1984), a horseman and businessman who founded both the Ride and the Run. Prior to that, since 1930, the route was called the “Auburn-Lake Tahoe Riding Trail.” Myth #2: Wendell Robie researched and discovered the Western States Trail Bob Watson on the Auburn-Lake Tahoe Trail Who rediscovered this mining and emigrant trail? Another person did this. He has been mostly forgotten and not mentioned in most histories about Western States. During early 1930, Robert Montgomery Watson (1854-1932), a Lake Tahoe lawman, located and mapped out the old emigrant/miner road that was used before the railroad arrived. He also constructed the granite monument near Emigrant Pass.

VANLIG EPISODE - I 1846, i Independce, Missouri, så skulle familiene Donner og Reed reise til California via The California Trail. De er sent ute og gjør en rekke valg underveis på ferden deres som gjør at de møter på noen umenneskelige utfordringer og noen grusomme handlinger.

In the 1800s, pioneers fled to the west coast in search of a better life. The trek was hard and grueling resulting in many deaths. The most notorious incident associated with this time is the tragedy of the Donner Party. The Donner Party attempted to make it to California from Illinois using an untested shortcut which resulted in them becoming stranded in the Sierra Nevada starving and dying which resulted in cannibalism. In this episode, Skye discusses the events leading up the tragedy and the terrible conditions that the Donner party faced during the journey.Support the show (http://patreon.com/hmct)

“Never take no shortcuts.” This is the story of one of the larger Oregon Trail’s most important branches: California Trail. The Mexican province of Alta California has some beautiful land, so it’s not hard to see why west-bound Americans might want to make their home there. We’ll hear about newly independent Mexico’s struggles to support Alta California; why American Commodore “Tac” Jones mistakenly seizes (then leaves) Monterey; and of course, how the California Trail gets blazed by brave explorers and settlers. But then, it’s time for tragedy. Have you heard of the Donner Party? If not, I have two words for you: Winter. Cannibalism. On a lighter note, “there’s gold in them thar hills.” We’ll end with the discovery of gold. So grab your pickaxe (or earbuds). We’re heading to the not-yet-but-soon-to-be Golden State.
