STEVEN HEUMANN: WE'RE GOING IN
t="567"SEARCH OF HISTORY TODAY ON AT
t="1101"YOUR LEISURE,
I'M STEVEN HEUMANN. JOIN ME, MAX, ELESE, AND YOUNG SAM AS WE TRAVEL ACROSS
UTAH TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR SHARED PIONEER HISTORY AND WHY THESE
DESTINATIONS ARE WORTH YOUR TIME.
ZACH CIPRIANO: FROM THERE YOU CAN CLIMB ON YOUR ATV WITH ME, ZACH CIPRIANO,
AS I PREVIEW THE NEWEST ATV JAMBOREE IN THE WEST. IF YOU WANT TO DISCOVER A
WHOLE NEW AREA TO EXPLORE, THIS IS AN EVENT YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS.
I'LL HAVE ALL THE DETAILS.
STEVEN HEUMANN: LAST BUT NOT LEAST, REECE STEIN FINDS OUT STERILE FISH ARE
A GOOD THING. AT YOUR LEISURE IS NEXT!
(Theme Music Up)
STEVEN HEUMANN: HISTORY IS ALL AROUND US, FROM THE URBAN CENTERS OF SALT LAKE
CITY, TO THE RURAL BACKROADS OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FOOTHILLS.
THAT HISTORY EXISTS IN THE FORM OF BUILDINGS, STORIES, AND OLD OUTPOSTS, GIVING
US A LINK TO OUR PAST AND A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW OUR FORBEARS LIVED,
WORKED AND DIED. THE GREAT THING IS WE'VE PRESERVED A LOT OF THESE SPOTS, AND
TODAY WE'RE TAKING YOU TO THREE OF THE MOST INTERESTING TO DISCOVER WHY THERE'S
MORE TO THESE DUSTY CABINS AND AND WEATHERED MONUMENTS THAN JUST WOOD AND MORTER.
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE AT THIS IS THE PLACE HERITAGE PARK IN SALT LAKE CITY
UTAH. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST AUTHENTIC PIONEER TOWNS YOU'LL EVER COME ACROSS, AND
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK.
(Music Up)
Barber: We shaving your mustache today?
Max: I'd be a terrible pioneer.
Diamond Jim: our mission is to make history enjoyable. It's to show what it
took to make things back then and work and live and bring that to us.
If you're looking at a house you're looking at an original that's been relocated
from somewhere in Utah. Where else can you sit with your kids and have a learning
experience of craft.
This is so the blade touches the leather and not the stitching.
I draw the design first and then cut it in with the stylus, and that's how I get
the darker colors here.
Not to mention the native American area where you get to learn about their culture
and sit and talk with them.
Instructor: I know they were originally made of obsidian.
Max: Pony express wanted: young skinny wiring boys under 18. Sounds good to me.
Steve: Oh, he's handing you a rose.
You're too young to get a rose from a man.
Elese: I know.
Instructor: this loom was made in the 1870's.
Steve: why are you so excited to see this house?
Elese: because it was Brigham young's house.
Steve: you're interested in the history. That's good.
What do you think of that doll Max?
That's a creepy doll.
Max: yes.
Diamond Jim: We need to study our history and find out where we came from and who
we came from and why we do what we do. If we don't learn from the past we are bound
to make the same mistakes. How many civilizations have been wiped off the face of
the earth and all that's left is the archeology. But if we know the stories we can
learn what happened to them. History is very important.
STEVE: WHAT DID YOU GUYS LIKE ABOUT BRIGHAM YOUNG'S HOUSE?
ELESE: I THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD IT WAS PINK.
STEVE: WEIRD COLOR. GOT IT. MAX?
MAX: I LIKED SEEING ALL THE DIFFERENT OLD-FASHIONED STUFF INSIDE IT. THAT WAS COOL.
STEVE: WELL WE'RE AT THE HUNSTMAN HOTEL ABOUT TO HAVE A PIONEER LUNCH OF BURGERS
AND CREAM SODAS. HOW ABOUT YOU HEAD OFF TO OUR TRAVEL ADVENTURE.
ZACH: HEY GUYS, ZACH CIPRIANO HERE. NOW, WHILE WE HAVE THIS ALONE TIME IN THE CAR
HERE I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE YOU GUYS A LITTLE BACK STORY ABOUT WHY I'M SO EXCITED
FOR TODAY'S TRAVEL ADVENTURE.
ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I HAD THE CHANCE TO DO SOME RIDING DOWN IN BEAVER COUNTY.
ON THE EAST SIDE WE TOOK TRAILS THROUGH BARELY BLOOMING SPRING MEADOWS, AND ON
THE WEST WE RODE PAST TOWERING MONOLITHS IN A HIGH DESERT ECOSYSTEM. BUT TRUTHFULLY,
ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF THE TRIP WERE THE PEOPLE THAT RODE WITH ME.
THE TUSHAR MOUNTAIN ATV CLUB AND THE RESIDENTS OF BEAVER COUNTY REALLY DO HAVE A
PASSION FOR WHERE THEY LIVE. AND THE LOVE THEY HAVE FOR THIS AREA IS INFECTIOUS.
NOW I'M BACK, RIDING IMMACULATELY CARED FOR TRAILS, PREVIEWING AN EVENT THAT WILL
ALLOW YOU TO HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE I DID IN BEAVER COUNTY.
MAX: The Beaver Jamboree will be starting May 16 and it will last through the 19.
And all the rides will lead from there and come back to there every day.
We have six different rides that we're offering.
MICHELLE EVANS: So one of the cool things that's awesome about our Jamboree is
that these are just local trails that have not been open to the public before.
So these are all new trails. If you haven't ever ridden in Beaver County, it's
a totally new experience.
KELLY: Some of the rides are challenging, but there's nothing that's death-defying.
So anybody can ride.
ZACH: Why should people come down for the Jamboree?
MICHELLE EVANS: Because we have a ton of things planned that are going to be a
ton of fun-
I don't know Zach!
MAX: Well our rides are what the Jamboree is about. We have beautiful country here.
We have a lot to offer.
KELLY: The last day of the jamboree, there are going to be a lot of prizes being
given away. Lot's of things to look forward to in addition to the rides.
I understand there's gonna be good food and lot's of activities to
keep everybody busy.
MICHELLE EVANS: One of the reaons that I enjoy it so much is that you don't
need to use a blinker to merge on to the ATV trails. You're out here with a couple
people so it's really fun and it isn't crowded or overwhelming.
ZACH: To preview the event, we rode on a newly opened trail that leaves straight
out of Beaver. No trailering required. Rocky climbs, cool shaded areas, and
plenty of water crossings kept the trip interesting.
ZACH: I came to the middle of this stream to get a shot and now I'm stranded.
Oh, Oh! T
here's Phil!
Phil's here to save me.
(Music Up)
ZACH: ULTIMATELY, THE TRAIL WE TOOK LANDED US AT THE LOCALLY DUBBED,
"PICTURE ROCK." NAMED SO BECAUSE OF THE ORNATE, ALMOST SYMMETRICAL DESIGNS
THAT PLASTER THE STONES IN THIS AREA.
MAX: This is one of my favorites, it has a circular pattern to it.
ZACH: Woah! If this is a competition you might be winning.
ZACH: SPLASHING THE ROCKS WITH A BIT OF WATER BRINGS OUT A DISPLAY THAT WOULD MAKE
CYNDI LAUPER PROUD, MEANING, THESE ROCKS SHOW THEIR TRUE COLORS. HIDDEN SECRETS
LIKE THESE WOULD REMAIN HIDDEN TO RIDERS IN THIS AREA WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE AND
WELCOMING SPIRIT OF THE LOCAL ATV CLUB MEMBERS. THE NEXT DESTINATION, WHILE NOT
A NATURAL WONDER LIKE PICTURE ROCK, STILL HAS IT'S APPEAL AND A WEALTH OF LOCAL
LEGENDS SURROUNDING IT.
ZACH: So the gang just took me to a place called Monkey Fence.
I don't know why it's called- Ah. That makes sense.
ZACH: Max, why is the Monkey Fence here?
MAX: Because we wanted you to come out and film it.
ZACH: Is that why you did this? Just for me?
ATV CLUB MEMBER: You know I've lived here 38 years and I just found out about
this place last year.
ZACH: Not to be that guy but... I think I could've lived 38 years without knowing
this was here.
MAX: Everytime you go out, you learn. You make friends in town in and around the
county. And a lot of history is given by word of mouth. So you're constantly
learning about new places. And that's what this Jamboree is. Bringing different
people from different cultures and different areas and we all come together, go
on rides, and share our experiences.
ZACH: DON'T FORGET THE BEAVER COUNTRY JAMBOREE IS GOING TO BE MAY 16-19 AND YOU
CAN REGISTER ON BEAVER COUNTRY.COM. WELL, MORE AT YOUR LEISURE, AFTER THE BREAK.
(Music Up)
STEVE: WELCOME BACK TO AYL. WE'RE AT OUR SECOND STOP OF THE HISTORIC UTAH TOUR
AND THIS IS ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITES! THIS IS COVE FORT. IT HAS A GREAT STORY
BEHIND IT, SOME INTERESTING HISTORY, AND I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT NOW.
(Music Up)
ON APRIL 16TH 1871 BRIGHAM YOUNG SENT A LETTER TO IRA HINKLEY AND ASKED HIM TO
MOVE FROM HIS HOME IN COALVILLE 220 SOUTH TO HELP BUILD THIS FORT.
IRA RESPONDED AND SAID HE WOULD LEAVE ON THE APPOINTED DAY, AND BROUGHT HIS FAMILY
DOWN HERE TO BUILD COVE FORT, WHERE THEY LIVED FOR THE NEXT DECADE.
ALTHOUGH THE FORT WAS BUILT TO PROVIDE SAFETY FOR TRAVELERS, IT WAS NEVER ATTACKED
PARTLY BECAUSE OF IT'S SOLID CONTRUCTION, BUT ALSO BECAUSE THE HINKLEY'S BECAME
FRIENDS WITH THE NATIVES.
Elese: yeah, the only gunshot ever heard here was from two boys playing with a gun.
Steve: the thing I love about Cove Fort is that most pioneer stories are depressing,
about everybody dying from some disease or something. Cove fort is different.
It's a good story about friendly relations and family fun.
There were never any battles here, never any wars. And that family feel extends
to today. Every time I've come here with my kids they've loved it and that isn't
always the case cause they'll get bored or whatever, but here they learn and have
a great time.
(Music Up)
That's actually a lock box they would have kept the mail in and it's next to the
telegraph office. Let's go through here.
Or not. Let's go around.
Here is the telegraph where the dude would have gotten the messages.
Elese: Dude?
Steve: Well what would you call the telegraph guy?
This is the kitchen area, right?
Elese: One person had to milk like 60 cows every day.
Steve: Was it a boy or girl?
Elese: a girl. The girls milked the cows.
Steve: Sam, what is that?
Sam: I think it was used to make butter.
Steve: It was used to make butter. Good call.
Elese: Being the youngest at Cove Fort would have been hard.
Steve: Why?
Elese: Because everyone bathed in the same water and you would have to go last
so by the time you got to bathe the water would be cold.
Steve: Alright, what is unique about the boys room?
Sam: It has a trap door.
Steve: this is cool. This was one of the guest rooms, because this was basically
a hotel, and this room was Brigham Young's favorite.
Sam: I wish we lived at Cove fort.
ELESE: WE HAVE ONE MORE STOP ON OUR HISTORIC TOUR, BUT NOW LET'S CHECK OUT OUR
TRAILHEAD ADVENTURE.
REECE STEIN: I'm Reece Stein AYL at Willard Baby State Park where the wildlife
guys are catching dozens of walleye. project designed to
It's a three-year-old
improve the fishing, not just here but at lakes around the state...
And you anglers don't worry, they're going to put these fish back.
REECE: WHERE BIOLOGISTS ARE PULLING IN LOTS OF BIG WALLEYE
IT STARTS ON THE LAKE
TRAPPED IN GIL NETS. THE FISH ARE QUICKLY EXTRICATED FROM TH E NETS AND KEPT ALIVE
IN BIG TUBS FULL OF WATER.
CRAIG SCHAUGAARD: About 3 years ago we started this program where we're trying to
make triploid walleye which are sterile fish.
REECE: HAVE THREE SETS OF CHROMOSOMES INSTEAD OF TWO
TRIPLOID MEANS THE FISH
MAKING THEM STERILE SO WHY DO THEY WANT STERILE FISH THAT ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE?
CRAIG SCHAUGAARD: we use sterile fish in lot of waters so we can control numbers.
It helps prevent people from moving fertile fish to start populations somewhere
else where we don't want it.
REECE: THESE TOOTHY CARNIVORES CAN RAISE HAVOC WITH TROUT LAKES AND IN WATERS WITH
ENDANGERED FISH
CHAD HILL: like Red Fleet Res. By Vernal it drains into Green River and lot of
endangered fish there and they have enough as it is without another predator in
there after them so.
REECE: WALEYE ARE LESS LIKELY TO BE A PROBLEM IN THOSE SENSATIVE WATERS..
CHAD HIL: even if they escape Red Fleet and get into the Green it wouldn't be a
population that is growing and devouring all those native species.
THESE MONSTER WALLEYE ARE JUST NOW HEADING INTO THEIR SPAWNING SEASON.
THE BIOLOGISTS INTERCEPT THEM AND HIJACK THEIR CARGOTHEY WILL SPAWN THE
WANT TO
FEMALES TAKING AN AMAZING NUMBER OF EGGS
CHAD HILL: last year we averaged 52,000 and change eggs per female Wow!!
quite a few.
REECE: THE EGGS ARE FERTILIZED WITH SEMEN OR MILT FROM MALE WALLEYE AND THE
PROCESS BEGINSTHE EGGS WILL BE HATCHED AT THE HATCHERY WITH A MUCH HIGHER
SUCCESS RATE THAN EGGS LAID IN THE RESERVOIR
CHAD HILL: if left to hatch in wild eggs laid on rocks in reservoir other fish
are going to come and eat them so very few in wild are going to survive.
REECE: IT'S ANYWHERE FROM 50 TO 70 PERCENT SUCCESS IN THE HATCHERY.
THE EGGS TO BE STERILIZED ARE WASHED AND POURED INTO A SPECIAL CYLINDER.
THE CYLINDER THEN GOES INTO A PRESSURE CHAMBER TO 9500 PSI
AND BROUGHT UP
FOR TEN MINUTES. A SECOND COPY OF DNA THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE
THE EGGS HAVE
EJECTED FROM THE NUCLEUS OF THE CELL━BUT
CHAD HILL: and under pressure it has nowhere to go, so you end up with 3
pairs of chromosomes so that makes the fish sterile.
REECE: THE ENTIRE PROCESS IS DONE HERE AT THE LAKE EACH STEP TIMED TO THE
SECOND TO INSURE SUCCESSHERE NOTHING IS LEFT TO CHANCE...
QUENT BRADWISCH: we bring daily fresh water from the hatchery to keep on the
eggs so we're not contaminating those and the hatchery we're taking them to.
REECE: STOCKED IN MORE LAKES AROUND THE STATE WHERE THEY
STERILE FISH CAN BE
WON'T CAUSE PROBLEMSAND THAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR FISHERMEN AND FISH EATERS
CHAD HILL: I myself have never fished for them but have eaten them plenty of
times and they are amazing.
REECE: walleye are a popular game fish especially this time of year and this
project hopes to make that fishing even better. RS AYL at Willard Bay State park.
(Music Up)
STEVE: WELCOME BACK TO AYL. WE'RE AT OUR LAST STOP AND THIS IS CAMP FLOYD,
A HIDDEN GEM ION UTAH WITH A TON OF HISTORY. WE TALKED TO CHUCK, ONE OF THE
RANGERS HERE, AND HE TOLD US ABOUT A LOT OF THE HISTORY THAT TOOK PLACE HERE
IN AND AROUND THE CIVIL WAR.
(Music up)
Chuck: Camp Floyd is a hidden gem of Utah. It's a little out of the way
because Brigham young didn't want the army anywhere near Salt Lake City.
Ijn 1857 the newly elected president James Buchanan thinks that the Utah
territory is in revolt against the United States. There is no revolt, but it
does lead to the establishment of camp Floyd where one third of the entire US
army was stationed for three years.
The camp was torn down just before the civil war so there's not a lot of original
buildings left, but we do have the commissary building where archeologists
discovered lots of artifacts. We also have the stagecoach hotel that was built
here a few years later by two brothers looking to start a new settlement.
Pony express drivers ate here and travelers slept here.
(Music Up)
We have what we call the Johnson's Army program geared toward scouts, where the
youth are drafted into the army and learn the story of camp Floyd.
They get to shoot a real musket and learn about history.
Van: They need to learn their civil war history because I feel that they don't
teach it well enough in the schools anymore.
Jared: I learned how to be a civil war soldier.
Paul: I learned how to make black powder cartridges.
Chuck: we also have three-day camps for kids 8 to 11 and they get to shoot
muskets too and just learn about Utah and military history. It's great.
STEVE: IF YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE JOHNSON'S ARMY PROGRAM JUST GO TO THE
CAMP FLOYD WEBSITE AND YOU CAN FIND OUT WHEN THEY OFFER THOSE AWESOME EVENTS.
WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF TIME, BUT WE STILL HAVE GIVEAWAY WINNERS AND EVENTS COMING
UP RIGHT AFTER WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE NEXT EPISODE OF AYL.
