A Hundred Yards Over the Rim

About this episode

The episode discusses a wagon train's struggle for survival in the New Mexico desert while exploring Hollywood connections and iconic filming locations.

Christopher Horn's wagon train has found themselves out of food and water somewhere in the desert of the New Mexico territory. On top of that, his son is deathly sick. He resolves to scout for resources just over the rim of the dune ahead, but what he finds is much more than just a stream or some game. Nicole and Peter will load the wagon up for this episode and discuss a 1970s Hollywood scandal, a Peter Jackson connection, and taking a trip to the desert to visit iconic filming locations.
