Tara and Nancy unravel the full story of the Forrest Fenn treasure hunt, and the obsession it inspired across the Rocky Mountains.  these clues sent people into some of the most dangerous terrain on public land, and the tragic deaths, rescues, and criminal cases tied to the hunt—Drawing on firsthand ranger experience and rarely discussed details, this episode explores how a quest meant to inspire adventure quietly became one of the deadliest games ever played on public land—and what it reveals about risk, obsession, and the unforgiving nature of the wilderness.Support the show!For bonus content join our Patreon!patreon.com/CrimeOfftheGridFor a one time donation:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cotgFor more information about the podcast, check outhttps://crimeoffthegrid.com/Check out our Merch!!  https://in-wild-places.square.site/s/shopFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/crimeoffthegridpodcast/ and  (1) Facebookhttps://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/a-treasure-hunter-got-lost-in-yellowstone-looking-for-a-millionaires-hidden-trove-he-must-repay-the-rescue-costs/#:~:text=He%20did%2C%20thanks%20to%20a,entering%20Yellowstone%20for%20five%20years.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9118491/Utah-man-dug-Forrest-Fenns-hidden-treasure-Yellowstone-faces-years-prison.htmlhttps://www.justice.gov/usao-wy/pr/forrest-fenn-treasure-hunter-indicted-damage-yellowstone-national-parkhttps://www.nps.gov/aboutus/foia/upload/ForrestFenn_Emails_Incidents_forWeb.pdf

Gina and I became friends over social media a few years back. Then we became good friends when she started regularly texting me photos of Northern Cardinals. I live in California, you see, and those red beauties rarely make it out past the Rocky Mountains. What a gift!It was only then that I picked up Gina's book: Dorothy & Jack: The Transforming Friendship of Dorothy L. Sayers and C.S. Lewis. and discovered that she is not only a generous cardinal photo-sender, but she's a phenomenal writer as well. I learned so much from this book about two authors I'd admired for years but hadn't known very deeply.Join Gina and me for a conversation about these two saints of the evangelical church, the power of friendship, and why cardinals just might be the world's best birds. Plus, check out her fantastic SubStack, Dear, Strange Things and her fun blog about Charles Dickens. Get full access to Keep Looking Up at courtneyellis.substack.com/subscribe

God has given everyone a general revelation of himself by displaying the beauty and power of creation. Though some reject this truth, it is obvious in the heart and mind of man that there is a God.Main Points:1. As we look around at our world, we see the clues God has left. When you stand at the Grand Canyon, you can't help but be overwhelmed at the mighty power of God to create such magnificence. When you see the vast Pacific Ocean, the power of Niagara Falls, the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains, you know there must be a creator.2. I believe King Solomon was right when he said in Ecclesiastes, “God has put eternity on our hearts.” The longing we feel, the cravings we experience, and the unfulfilled desires all leads us to the one who can meet every need and satisfy our every desire. His name is Jesus. He is the Son of God, our Savior, and our Lord.3. Seasons come and seasons go, but nothing in this life is completely satisfying. Solomon said, “it's all vanity.” But through it all, we have a glimpse of something more. We recognize this world is not our home. Creation points to a God who is in control and one who has given us a Savior.Today's Scripture Verses:Romans 1:20 - “For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”Ecclesiastes 3:11 states God has “set eternity in the human heart.”Psalm 19:1 - “The Heavens declare the glory of God.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Step off the interstate and into a different kind of ride. We open with gratitude for a listener who reminded us that joy is a worthy destination, then point our front wheels toward the slower roads that reshape how we see, breathe, and connect. The smells change, the pace softens, and the world stops rushing past. That's where the ride becomes more than miles.Guided by William Least Heat-Moon's Blue Highways, we explore a simple rule that changes everything: skip the main highways and follow the quiet lines on the map. It's not about nostalgia; it's about attention. We talk through why motion calms the mind, how rhythmic travel acts like moving meditation, and why the most meaningful moments happen when the kickstand goes down and the helmet comes off. The real treasure isn't the scenery alone, but the people you meet when you choose to linger—waitresses with town histories, old-timers at gas pumps, and strangers with road tips you'll never find on an app.You'll hear a practical challenge to turn philosophy into practice: plan a highway‑free route, build in stops, and start one real conversation. Trade speed for presence and efficiency for curiosity. Whether you ride Colorado dirt or county lanes in Italy, this approach turns any afternoon into a story worth keeping. Along the way, we tackle the myth that the world is mostly unfriendly, and we make the case that kindness is common—you just have to leave room for it.If this resonates, share it with a rider who needs a calmer road, subscribe for more mindful moto stories, and tell us your name, where you're from, and what you ride. Your blue highway is out there—ready to find it with us?

Jason Wilde-Rocky Mountain Oysters (12/12/25) by 96.5 WKLH

Big news for the show: The Pedalshift Project is setting up camp in a new city! This episode breaks down what that means for future tours, how this opens up brand-new riding possibilities, and why the destination may be a bit of a surprise and also not a surprise at all.   My new home: Seattle! Why? This move is all about geography, access, and expanding the Pedalshift touring sandbox. Seattle places world-class touring terrain right outside the door and increases the show's ability to cover more routes, more often. And yes—this is a return to the broader PNW. Think of it as a new basecamp, and not a commentary on my beloved Portland. It remains the land of sunshine and bunnies, and it's just down I-5. There's obviously other details to all of this but they are far more weedsy than worth getting into for you all. Let's focus on the parts that impact the pod!   What Seattle Unlocks for Bike Adventures Puget Sound & the Islands Bainbridge, Vashon, Whidbey, and the San Juans Ferry-based overnighters and S24Os Olympic Peninsula ACA Pacific Coast connections Port Townsend → Sequim → Forks routes Big coastal scenery for trip diaries Cascade Range Palouse to Cascades Trail (hello, cross-state gravel epic) Snoqualmie Pass corridor North Cascades Highway rides when the snow gods allow British Columbia Vancouver + Victoria loops Easier cross-border touring content Western US Access Simpler jumps to NorCal, SoCal, Alaska, and Rocky Mountain tour starts   How the Show Evolves   More Micro-Tours Seattle puts quality riding minutes—not hours—away, which means more short trips, more experiments, more rapid-fire episodes. Some Non-Bicycle Adventures Exploring by foot - hiking, urban adventures and more. Not a replacement for bikes, but a compliment. New Possible Arcs The Islands Project The Puget Sound Loops Palouse to Cascades: Piece by Piece Return to the Coast (Seattle → Portland → Coast → beyond) Year-Round Riding Milder PNW winters = more shoulder-season content and gear discussions. Also proximity to southern CA for winter riding?   What Stays the Same The philosophy of intentional, practical, joyful bike travel Long-form tours and multi-state adventures Portland is the land of sunshine and bunnies, and Seattle will need a tagline   Early Seattle Recon Riding West Seattle, Alki, and Elliott Bay Ferry recon missions Scouting trails, routes, and spots for easy S24Os Checking out the local bike shop ecosystem   Production Notes Scheduling in winter and spring TBD with some back and forth travel Regular episode cadence with best-of's    Listener Input Wanted Got Seattle, Puget Sound, or PNW route suggestions? Hidden gems? Ferries worth timing for golden hour? Winter riding hacks? Hit me up—I'll feature the best ones in future episodes.

BuffStampede.com reporter Oliver Hayes gives his instant thoughts after Colorado suffered its first loss of the year to in-state rival CSU.

Malachi 4:1-6 A Day of Deliverance Please turn to Malachi 4. This is the last chapter in Malachi and our last sermon. Last week we considered the distinction that God would make between the righteous and the wicked. On the one hand are the righteous who reverently fear the Lord and who demonstrate their fear by serving and honoring him. On the other hand are the wicked, who do not fear nor honor the Lord. That distinction comes down to whether you know and follow Christ. And also last week, we touched upon the day of the Lord. That phrase is introduced in chapter 3. It's described as the day of the Lord's coming. It's the day, as chapter 3 says, when God will make up his treasured possession. Well, this morning's text continues and expands on that day. It answers the question of what that day is like and how we should prepare for it. As I read, be thinking about Malachi's audience. They were in a dicey and unsettling situation in Jerusalem. Despite their situation, some of them feared the Lord… but others rejected him. So, as you hear these words, think about how each group would receive this prophecy. Reading of Malachi 4:1-6 Prayer In the summer after graduating high school, I worked at a summer camp. One of my responsibilities involved leading a group of teenagers on a long multi-day canoe trip. We were in northern Wisconsin. One day, after a long journey through the various lakes we decided to set up camp on a small island. We thought it would be fun. And it was until the middle of the night when a massive storm rolled in. We woke up to thunder and lightning and then heavy winds followed by a downpour. On top of that, when the front rolled in, the temperatures dropped about 20 degrees. We were cold and wet and since we were on an island, there was no place to go. Well, the rain stopped just before dawn. As soon as it started to get light out, we scrambled to get a fire going. But that was difficult given all the rain. Some of the kids were literally shaking because they were so cold. The fire helped some, but it was still breezy and we had limited wood. But then it happened. The clouds parted, the sun came up, the wind died down. We all just stopped and soaked in the rays. It was like instant warmth. Physically and emotionally… and spiritually. We had been praying for help and within minutes the sun warmed us. In Malachi 4, the people had been enduring a period of life storms in different ways. They had been enduring a period of darkness. They couldn't see how the future promises of God would be fulfilled. Yet, they are told that when the day of the Lord comes, the sun of righteousness will rise. That's spelled s-u-n. He will come. The promised Messiah will come. And his coming will be like the rising of the sun after a long cold night. As I mentioned, these verses are centered around the day of the Lord. That day is spoken of multiple times here. ·      Look at the first sentence there in verse 1. “For behold, the day is coming.” ·      Then the very next sentence in the same verse says the same thing: “the day that is coming…” and it goes on. ·      Now jump down to the end of verse 3. It says, “on the day when I act, says the Lord of Hosts.” ·      And the last one is there in verse 5. “I will send Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.” …or as some translations say, the great and awful day of the Lord. I mentioned last week that the day described is a day of judgement. Well, that same idea is mentioned in chapter 4 verses 1 and 3. That final judgment will happen when Christ returns. So, there's definitely a sense in which this day will be fulfilled in our future. However, the returned exiles are told that Elijah the prophet will come before that great day. That prophecy has been fulfilled in John the Baptist. We considered a similar prophecy earlier in chapter 3. In other words, there's also a sense that Jesus first coming (you know, his first advent) fulfilled this prophecy about the day of the Lord. John Calvin held that view, and it makes sense considering the reference to Elijah. I think the best understanding is to consider that the “day of the Lord” began at Jesus first advent and will come to completion at his second advent. In other words, for us, there's both a “now” and “not yet” to this “day of the Lord.” In the apostle Peter's sermon at Pentecost, he quotes the prophet Joel's prophecy about the day of the Lord. And he indicates that it is being fulfilled. Other New Testament texts speak of the last days that we are in, which will come to a final completion when Christ returns. So, the day has come, and it will come. However, from the perspective of the people in the Old Testament, it appeared to them be one event. Think about it this way. It's kind of like driving through a mountain range. This last May we were driving through the Rocky Mountains. If you've ever been there, you'll know that the mountains are massive. Sometimes, though, you'll see an especially large mountain, but as you drive past it, you realize that, oh no, that was not one mountain, it was actually two mountains. It just looked like one mountain from a distance. The “Day of the Lord” prophecy is like that. To God's people in the Old Testament, it looked like one event. Yet for us, who live after Jesus first coming (and who have the New Testament) we realize that the prophecy both has been fulfilled and it will be fulfilled. We are living in that day now with all the benefits and blessings of Jesus first coming, but with anticipation of his second coming. And when he comes again, the full judgment and mercy of God will be fulfilled. But the people in Jerusalem just needed to know that the Messiah was coming. And when he came, it would be the day of the Lord. And the Lord tells them through Malachi, what that day will be like and how to prepare for it. It's the same application for us. The difference is that for them it was entirely a future reality that they needed to prepare for. For us it's both a present and future reality, but with the same call to prepare. So, let's dive in answer those two questions. What is the day of the Lord like? And, how should we live in it and prepare for it? By the way, you'll see an outline there in the bulletin. 2 points going along with those two questions. 1. The Day of the Lord: Beholding its Light 2. The Day of the Lord: Living in its Light So, beholding and living in the day of the Lord. 1. The Day of the Lord: Beholding its Light By the way, I'm using the word “beholding” because twice in this text, they are told to “behold!” Verses 1 and 5. We saw the same word back in chapter 3 verse 1. Behold! The day is coming. Wake up. Be ready! God will fulfill his promise. It's like what the angels said to the shepherds in Luke 2. “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Behold. And what will that day be like? Well, we're given a picture. By the way, did you notice all the imagery in these verses? Oven, fire, stubble, branch, root, sun, wings, a calf, ashes, and feet. It is a picture of what the day will be like. They needed to know. And the first thing they needed to know, which is a continuation from chapter 3, is that it will be a day of judgment. It will be like an oven. The wicked will be like stubble burned in a fire. Have you ever taken pine straw or wood shavings and thrown them into a fire? It sparks up and bursts into a flame. The wicked are described as being set ablaze. Their branches AND roots will be burned. And in verse 3, they will be trampled underfoot. And remember, the Lord had been speaking to Israel. Malachi was prophesying to the people who had returned from Babylon to Judah and Jerusalem. Many of them fell into the category of wickedness. They didn't fear the Lord. Their words and actions displayed a lack of faith. Even though they were counted among God's people, they didn't return to him. What I am saying is that as much as these verses are an encouragement to the people who feared the Lord, they are also a graphic warning to those who do not know nor fear him. Return to me or on that day, you shall be ashes trod underfoot by the righteous. It will be a day when the Lord “acts.” Verse 3. From their perspective, there had been a lot of in-action by the Lord. But that will all change when the day of the Lord comes. But beware, because that action will in part be action against the wicked. So that's the warning… but there are also some very encouraging aspects to the coming day. As I already mentioned, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. For us, that feels like a strange mixing of metaphors. The sun and wings. But the best understanding of this is how the sun would be painted.  Picture the sun like a yellow platter with squiggly lines radiating from the platter. Well, those squiggly lines that someone would draw were called the sun's wings. It's the rays of the sun beaming down on the people. And those rays heal. The people back then knew this by experience.  And we know this by the sun's healing properties. We don't just receive warmth, but our bodies produce vitamin D from the sun light. That boosts our immune system. Being in the sun also lifts our mood.  And when we are in the sun for a little bit every day, we even sleep better at night. What this is saying is that God's righteousness will be like the sun! God will shine his holiness and his goodness and his truth upon us on the day of the Lord. And all of that has been and will be fulfilled in Jesus. We have seen the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. His righteousness has been and is being displayed for all the world to see. And Jesus' ministry is a ministry of healing, is it not? Let me highlight three ways. ·      Number 1, Jesus' heals our relationship with God. Through the cross and in the resurrection, we've been given peace and reconciliation with him. ·      Number 2. He ministers his healing in all the sorrows and grief in life. God in Christ ministers to us in our weakness and our burdens and our trials. Jesus said, “come unto me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest for your soul… for my yoke is easy and my burden is light” ·      And number 3. Christ will ultimately heal all of creation. He will restore all things. This is definitely part of the future promises of the day. When Christ returns in glory, all things will be made new. The groaning of all creation will be no more. The old will be burned up and the new will come. Creation will no longer be fractured and marred by sin, but rather it will be perfect and unblemished... and the light of Christ's righteousness will shine forever. There will be no need for the sun because Christ's glory will be the light. The sun of Righteousness has and will come with healing in his wings! Some of those things have come true and some will come true at the end of the age. And… what a joy it is to know the healing ministry of Christ. And speaking of joy, that is the other description we're given. On that day, the righteous in Christ will leap like a calf full of energy as it leaps for joy! I've never actually seen a calf in such a state, but I've read that it is quite the scene. After a calf has been in a stall all night, and it is then let out… apparently it bursts forth in uncontained exuberance. It leaps and twists and bucks and it runs in circles. It's like a ball of uninhibited joy as it bounds around. Our dog, Toby, was like this when he was a puppy. Sometimes we would have to leave him in his crate for a while, otherwise he would eat our socks. When we got home, we would let him outside in the backyard… and he would race around in circles as fast as he could. And then he would want to play. That is the kind of joy that we will experience to the fullest extent… when the Lord returns. Nothing will be able to contain our excitement on that day. So, the day will be a day of judgment, but it will also be a day of righteousness and healing, and a day of great joy. 2. The Day of the Lord: Living in its Light Which brings us to the concluding verses of Malachi and point #2. Living in its Light. The next question is, how should we live in the day of the Lord now? And related to that, how should we prepare for his future coming? First, look at verse 4. the Lord commands them… “remember the law of my servant Moses, the statutes and rules, that I commanded him at Mount Horeb…” It's referring to the 10 commandments. Mount Horeb and Mount Saini are the same place. All throughout Malachi, God has been revealing to the people how they had forgotten his law and commands. They had wandered from him by breaking his law. They were doing things that God commanded them not to do, and not doing things that God commanded to do. And so he commands them to remember his law. But in order to return to God's law and to him, they needed to repent. They needed to turn from their faithlessness and sin and back to God. That is what verses 5 and 6 are alluding to – turning back to God and to one another. What I mean is that in verse 5, Elijah is mentioned. Elijah is THE representative prophet. His message, which was the message of all prophets, was a message of repentance. Malachi's prophecy is likewise a message of repentance. Return to me, the Lord has said through Malachi. And in verse 6, this new Elijah that is coming will also turn the hearts of fathers to their children and children to their fathers. It's the same message of repentance but focused on our relationships with one another. In fact, in Luke chapter 1. The angel of the Lord tells John the Baptist's father, Zechariah, three things about his son related to this. #1, “he will turn many of the children of Israel back to the Lord their God.” #2. John “will go before the [Lord] in the spirit and power of Elijah.” And #3. The angel quotes Malachi 4:6. John will turn “the hearts of fathers to their children.” You see, this turning people to the Lord and to one another is the message of repentance. That is exactly what John the Baptist preached. He said, “Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand.” So, Moses and Elijah. The Law and the prophets. God's commands for us and his call for us to repent. Really, it summarizes both Malachi and the entire Old Testament. Think about our study of Malachi. Here's how it's gone: The Lord said: 1. I have loved you. 2. But your words and actions have betrayed that love. 3. You have therefore been faithless. 4. Return to me for the day of the Lord is coming. 5. If you do return, you will be counted among the righteous on that day. If you do not return, you will be counted among the wicked. And 6. The concluding words here: So, remember my law and repent. And notice the very last words, “lest I strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.” The Lord opened up his prophecy through Malachi with the words, “I have loved you” and he concludes with this warning. It is one last appeal that they examine their hearts, or they will reap the consequences of their unbelief. Are you following how these last verses summarize Malachi? And, as I mentioned, this conclusion also summarizes the entire Old Testament. Again, Moses and Elijah - the law and the prophets. At one point in Jesus's ministry, he went up on a mountain with three of his disciples, Peter, James, and John. And when Jesus was on the mountain, he shone with the glory of his divine nature as sovereign King. The Gospel writers say that he was transfigured. Now, listen to what Matthew said. He said that Jesus' face “shone like the sun.” s-u-n. And guess who appeared from heaven with Jesus? Moses and Elijah. God the Son, the sun of righteousness, revealed his glory as the one who fulfilled all the words of the law and the message of prophets. In him, the day of the Lord has come. For Malachi's original audience, the day was coming soon. For us, it has and it will come. Well, I would be remiss if I didn't end with the call for you and me. It's really the same call now as it was then. We are to remember the law of Moses. The 10 commandments are not something from a bygone era that has no relevance today. No, rather, we are called to pursue the Lord and his commands. We're to love him with all our heart and soul and mind and strength. And we're to love our neighbors as ourself. And when we fail, we are to repent and return to him in faithfulness. None of that is works salvation. Rather, it is responding to the love of God in Christ Jesus, who gave himself up for us. Just like Malachi's audience, God loves us. We are his people, whom he elected from before the foundation of the world. In love, he gave us his commands that we would know him and walk in his ways. And just like them, we often fail, but God does not treat us as our sin deserves. No, he calls us to repent and return to him. And he will lovingly receive us again. All because the sun of righteousness has come with healing in his wings. So may we do just that. May we heed the warning of judgment. And may we rejoice this advent, with exuberant joy, basking in all the rays of the righteousness of Jesus – our Savior and our Lord. For his day has come and he will come again.

What if your calendar measured miles, not meetings? Today, I share why I walked away from a globe‑spanning tech role at 63 and how a simple question—how many rides are left—reshaped everything from morning routines to long‑range routes. The story starts with a box of old home videos, a flood of perspective, and a quiet realization that freedom only counts if your body and mind can enjoy it.We dive into the nuts and bolts of protecting time on two wheels: the health habits that keep you riding longer, the mindset shift from scarcity to intention, and a planning method that turns “someday” into scheduled miles. Ron breaks down how he and his wife prepared for retirement, what business travel took out of him, and what opens up when you swap quarterly reviews for weather windows and mountain passes. Expect practical details—strength and mobility that matter for control and endurance, mental practices that sharpen attention, and a budget‑first approach to dream routes.You'll hear a clear, humane framework: take five seconds to estimate your remaining years, then spend the next weeks mapping rides that match your season of life. Prioritize people and places that carry meaning. Translate wishes into dates, routes, and resources. And hold room for joy, kindness, and the courage to go when the weather is “good enough.” If you've ever wondered how to turn a love of motorcycles into a life you can actually live, this is your sign to plan it—and to ride it.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a rider who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review to help others find Peace Love Moto.
