In this episode of The Trailhead, JD sits down with Leah, Ryan, and Brandon from the Rampart Range Motorized Management Committee (RRMMC) to explore the inner workings of one of Colorado's most iconic and heavily trafficked OHV areas: the Rampart Range. Known as a true mecca for outdoor recreation, Rampart includes a diverse mix of motorized routes, from full-size 4x4 roads to an extensive network of singletrack and ATV trails—over 200 miles in total winding through the Pike National Forest. RRMMC specifically focuses on the stewardship of trails designated for motorcycles and ATVs, including singletrack and two-track routes, while collaborating closely with the U.S. Forest Service and other land management agencies to ensure cohesive trail planning and maintenance. The team shares how they manage growing usage, educate new riders, and promote long-term sustainability in this high-demand area. Whether you're a seasoned rider or new to Rampart, this episode offers a comprehensive look at what it takes to keep the trails open, safe, and fun for all types of users.

Hello again, this is your host Will Luden with Revolution 2.0™, the proud inheritors of the breakthrough thinking and dedication of Revolution 1.0 in 1776. Welcome.  Defocus to Gain Focus (EP. 174)  Introduction “An unexamined life is not worth living.” -Plato That is the subject of today’s 10-minute episode. Continuing Surprised by this topic? Let me share why I picked it. You have heard the saying, “You don’t get strong in the gym, you get strong when you sleep at night.” You still have to do the hard work in the gym, but your recovery allows the muscles torn down by exercise to relax, repair and grow stronger. Let’s add one more layer to this analogy; the muscles repair best when recovery is aided by good nutrition.  In the same way, almost step by step, our minds, our ability to think, our ability to think more completely, precisely and insightfully, grows and becomes much more effective when it is allowed to rest, to defocus, after intense work. “The mind is a muscle.” -Yvonne Ranier, American choreographer and filmmaker. The steps are the same: 1. You work hard with your brain, reading and thinking, or in your work. For me it is researching and creating my blogs and podcasts. That’s the gym phase. 2. As with post gym periods, sleep helps. The mind processes when we sleep, even if we don’t dream. And we can recover from mental exercises while awake by letting our minds wander away from what we have been working on--what we have been concentrating on--trying ever so hard as we wrestle with our ideas, thoughts, and challenges. 3. Give our minds the nutrition they need by drinking deeply from good books and good people. Frequently, I will come close to completing an episode, then put it out of my mind until the next morning. When I tackle it again in the AM, I am no longer surprised that I have new insights, and new ways of wording thoughts to make them clearer and more interesting. The mind at rest not only recovers, but processes in new and insightful ways.  I also create opportunities for active mental rest here in Colorado Springs, right in my backyard, my Walden Pond. Here is a winter photo of a small slice of what I see. And, yes, active rest is a thing.  My Walden pond is Peregrine Creek (my name for our beautiful, 75’, but artificial creek with three falls), that starts right out the back door. My Life In the Woods starts about 70 yards from the creek, with access right across the road behind our home to endless miles of wilderness hills and trails. Blodgett Peak dominates much of the scene, soaring to 9,500 feet. Immediately adjacent to the Peak are the Rampart Range and Pike Nat’l Forest. If I had the hoo-ha, and I don’t, I could walk to Utah and never see anyone.  My time connecting to Peregrine Creek and the wilderness starts yards from my home, which allows me the time and mental space to challenge what I think I think as I hike. To let my thoughts find themselves before I share them with you. Duc (“Duke”), my 80-lb. Standard Poodle, is my constant companion out there. Out in the hills is where I let go of my oh-so-important (to me) thoughts. Perhaps more importantly, this is where I go to work on letting let go of my thoughts of self-importance. And it is here that I frequently find the truth, not so much in facts, but the truth in what is important.  “Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”  ― Henry David Thoreau, Walden (Life in the Woods). Today’s Key Point. We all need to detach, to defocus from how we see others and the world. And do that regularly. And even when we are dead certain there is no time for anything but grinding away at the mission in front of us. In this detachment, this relaxing, will come perspective, calm, better thinking, strength, and the ability to forge ahead refreshed--ready for whatever may come our way. More specific to Revolution 2.0™ and political (and related) dialog,

Podcast Summary In this podcast, my primary intention is for us to get to know each other better. Quoting Henry David Thoreau from Walden-Life In the Woods, “Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.” Please note that Thoreau did not ask for his agenda to win out, to be right--or make others wrong. He asked for truth. Truth is where everything needs to start (but not end). My Walden pond is Peregrine Creek, right on my property. My Life In the Woods starts about 70 yards from the creek, with Blodgett Peak, soaring to 9,5K feet, the immediately adjacent Rampart Range and Pike Nat’l Forest, which the Rampart range is part of. If I had the hoo-ha, and I don’t, I could walk to Utah and never see anyone. My time connecting to Peregrine Creek and the wilderness that starts yards from my city-services home, allows me the space to challenge what I think I think. To let my thoughts find themselves before I share them with you. Duc (Duke), my 80-lb. Standard Poodle, currently wearing an Elizabethan Collar, is my constant companion out there. While it takes me a good two days to put together a podcast that I am happy with sharing, it is my decades of varying experiences that feed into those two days that give my thinking, content, depth and a focus. And the focus is on how to contribute; how to make people and things around me better. This podcast closes with a couple quotes. “An unexamined life is not worth living.” Plato “A life of contemplation and examination without action that changes things is waste of all that contemplation and examination." Will Luden Will Luden, writing from my home office at 7,200 feet in Colorado Springs.

Join Monster X Radio's hosts Gunnar Monson and Shane Corson as they sit down with Mike Johnson of SIR (Sasquatch Investigations of the Rockies). Mike came to Colorado in 1977 from north of Salina, Kansas. He instantly fell in love with the mountains and Colorado, and has spent countless days and nights exploring its majesty. He got started in this endeavor in the 1990’s after finding 17″ footprints in the snow at Rampart Range during Thanksgiving break. In the same location, Mike had a Class 1 Bigfoot sighting when he saw a male Sasquatch in person. This sighting was investigated by the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO). Mike is very comfortable in the woods. He hunts elk and pheasant, and is well adapted to search for the legendary creature in the remotest areas of Colorado, in all four seasons. Mike is a Christian man, he is a husband, a father of three, and a proud grandfather. He is very spiritual, whether it be his religion or his search for his Indian heritage. He is a man’s man, who loves life, the outdoors, his friends and his family. He is painfully honest, which has been his biggest challenge in this field, much to his surprise. Mike is interested in both the scientific side and spiritual side of the Sasquatch Equation, which makes him a unique individual in the field today.
