  • Summary

  • Imagine waking up to an unseasonably warm day in Wyoming, just as the Fourth of July weekend is approaching. We'll uncover how this heat wave is reshaping activities like floating on the Bighorn River and impacting the well-being of both humans and animals. As we navigate through erratic weather patterns in the Midwest and unusual fires in New Mexico, we’ll ponder the possibility of weather modification. You'll also hear a touching story about Steve, a man facing homelessness, and how a small act of kindness became a moment of profound significance.

    Travel back with us to the early days of the Union Pacific's expansion into Rock Springs, Wyoming, and discover how the coal mining industry shaped the region. We'll explore the ethnic diversity of the workforce, the bustling coal camps, and the technological advancements that peaked during World War II. Alongside these rich historical insights, we’ll discuss the significant role of foreign workers and a recently published book that chronicles these events. Join us as we honor Wyoming's heritage and the indelible mark left by its coal mining industry.
