50 bucks or something. Ha ha. So far
nothing.
Chad: you may be on your way see it's a
good start it's a good solid truck.
Ria: oh yeah we drove it down here.
Chad: it's got a 327 in it it's a nice little
hot Chevy with a 411 rear end in it it
screams at the line just a little bit and
leaves patches all the time but the most
important thing about it is how she got it.
We were on an ATV trip down in
Marysvale and on our way up the
canyon she sees this white truck parked
along the side of the road and she says
look check out that cool farm truck I
want one. I've always wanted one. So on
the way back we stopped to look at it

whole town of Mesquite. We have

Lincoln Continental but if you're a
mustang person you're gonna see. If
you're a Corvette person you're gonna

Ria: oh OK so how do you shut the hood
with that thing up there?
Chad: exactly something doesn't add up
but it's a pretty car.

years 57 58 59 and 60.

work to adventure for at your leisure so
check this out.
Ray: Ticaboo management owner of
Ticaboo lodge just took over the
contractual obligation's at Hite Marina
down here on North Lake Powell. This is
a real big day because we are willing to
take adventure to a new height this is it.
This is where it's going to really put us
on a map with a lot of the adventure
tours we're going to do in the ticket
booth area but now we can expand it
over here in San Juan County and take
advantage to a lot of this. Stuff here in
Glen Canyon. It's always been a water
based business and a lot of people of
come to me and said how are you gonna
make this work there's no water there in
height but where land based business our
focal point is land based business
specially with the overwhelming ATV
market a lot of those trails within Glen
Canyon are going to open up and going
into the Orange Cliff area and muley
point these are areas that are just
phenomenal beauty and very little seen
by the public. So now we can offer with
rentals and or guided tours away for
people to get out and experience that
part of the park. So the height adventure
center and outfitter store here we're
going to be offering ATV rentals kayak
rentals mountain bike rentals and then
will also do guided tours on ATVs jeep
tours in the future. Will be catering to
the mountain bike tour groups and also
the Haydule trail which comes to Hite. it
started at arches national park in Moab
and the terminus is at Green Canyon. It's
an 800+ mile hiking trail and it comes
right through Heights it will be catering
to that crowd as well.
Maggie: I am the manager for the Hite
adventure center in Utah. It will be a
really exciting and fun experience we're
just thrilled to be there. It is an
incredible area it's a hidden gem I mean
it is just a phenomenal place to be and to
live a mean we consider ourselves very
lucky
A lot of really exciting to do of course
fishing kayaking and a lot of hiking and
trail running. I mean just an abundance
of trails there's Glen Canyon recreational
area there's just no end to the activities
that we can do while we're there.
Ray: Hite is named after Cass Hite Who
was an explorer and a Wester and a gold
seeker. Cast height was a very
adventurous guys are ready to take the
lead off of him. He came here full of
adventure searching silver and gold. He
did find gold here that was in the
sandbars of the Colorado River. He
never made a profit out of it. It's been
said that his biggest income source was
finding investors rather than gold. But he
made enough to pay the wages and it
was a long story pass he had a ranch
here and Ticaboo Canyon. He's
underwater now when they flooded the
lake so he was an adventurous soul if
you ever read the biography about him
you know why were very interest did in
having this as a part of our lives we're
going to fall on his footsteps and we're
going to bring adventure to a new height.
Sam: hey guys we are here at Hall labs
they've been working around the clock
to bring you some cool new inventions. I
am Sam the gadget girl and today were
going to look at something that would
really help your life. You know when
you just get so much stuff all over your
garage floor and your car can't even live
there anymore. Well garage smart is the
thing for you it's a pulley system or a
winch system that you hang in your
garage. The kit comes with everything
you need and I can lift up to 400 pounds
and it just stores it right above your car
in the garage. Not only is it a winch
system to hold some of your stuff up it
can also help you with some difficult
tasks. So I drive a jeep wrangler and
every time I want to take the top off I
have to call over three or four girlfriends
and it is so hard. With the system I could
literally hook it up by myself and you
just control it through the app like this.
That is so incredible. This is the kid here
and it comes with absolutely everything
you need and this is like even totally
Sam proof. I could put this together all
by myself all you need is a drill and a
ladder and each motor can hold 100
pounds is self so super nifty. On the
track we even have these little covers
you can put them back on and cover the
wires everything is so clean. We were
just looking at the bike kit. And this is
what you'd hang your bikes on so what
do you think would happen if we put a
little baby kids bike on here and a big
heavy bike on that side. Well garage
smart thought that through for you and
on the end here you just turn this and it
would level it out for you. So no matter
what you're looking to hang up in your
garage weather like me it will be your
jeep top to lift right off or you're out
door gear like paddle boards and these
your lawnmowers if you have a
snowblower and you want to get that up
off the ground you could do that and
these would be great at my house to bins
for whatever kind of storage and a bike
rack. Look how many bikes you can fit
on this thing so everything that you
would want to hang up they've thought
about here at Garage smart. They have
fans lights and Alexa you can hook up.
Say Alexa lower my jeep top. They have
lasers so when you're driving in your
garage and your uncle I don't know if
I'm quite ready to park as soon as those
lasers hit knuckle you know it's time to
stop. Keep an eye out on their website
garage smart.com for when all
these New things drop and go fill out an
order for one of these today. I am Sam
the gadget girl and thank you for
watching at your leisure will be back.
Ria: hey Chad. I can guarantee you've
never owned one of these before.
Chad: granted you win this is one model
I've never had. Welcome back to at your
leisure we're down here at motor mania
in Mesquite Nevada and we're taking a
look at this most unusual vehicle I don't
even recognize the brand. I do know the
model though. It is the Woody but it
doesn't look like a Ford or anything I've
ever seen before.
Ria: seriously this is Jeff the guy that
built this thing so tell us about your
Woody.
Jeff: it's on a mustang suspension
homemade frame the bodies home made

it?
Jeff: I've been on it for two years.

work look at those taillights.
Jeff: the tail lights work the light upfront
works the boom works.
Chad: so what did you build it on?I
mean obviously it doesn't have wooden
axles it's not a 1904 Flintstone.
Jeff: it's on a mustang suspension
Chad: it's on a mustang suspension

Jeff: It's powered with a 2300 Pinto
motor.
Chad: with probably a light is the body

brotherhood. I think we're about six or
so years old we received a letter from
this young lady whose husband is a real
fan of our fly with me Friday series. It's
a web series I started last year where
we're trying to introduce people to
aviation. So what I do is I find people
who've never been up in a smaller plane
before and give them a ride.
Aubrey: I got the idea to write in to the
flying Cowboys from conversations with
Kevin. He's talked and showed me all of
Corey's videos and he particularly pays
attention to the fly with me Fridays and
he's like one day Arbery one day I'm
going to be there.

also a really great husband a very good
provider. Oh by the way it's also our
