 Pinedale, Wyoming sits in the Green River Valley, and as you'll hear in a moment, was the site of more mountain man rendezvous than any other place in the country. Our story takes us back about 200 years, and I discussed those events with Clint Gilchrist at the Museum of the Mountain Man. I thought our interview was a good one for this Independence Day weekend as we reflect on the building of the country and also some of the qualities we hold dear in this land. We began by discussing the years following the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the exploration and settlement of the American West.
