>> HELLO, EVERYBODY.

I'M DAVE SHUFFETT AND WELCOME TO "KENTUCKY LIFE."

ON THIS EDITION, WE'LL MEET A MAN WHO TURNS JUNK, COFFEE CANS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, INTO BEAUTIFUL WORKS OF ART LIKE.

THIS ALSO WE'LL RIDE THE CHAIR LIFT TO NATURAL BRIDGE.

WE'LL VISIT THE SO HAS TO SOLATO EDUCATION CENTER BUT FIRST, WE'LL VISIT THE DISTILLERY.

LIKELY NO OTHER DISTILLERY HAS NO SUCH HISTORY AS BUFFALO TRACE IN FRANKFORT THERE HAS BEEN A DISTILLERY ON THE GROUNDS THERE SINCE 1787 AND THE FIRST MODERN DISTILLERY OPENED THERE IN 1857.

NOW, THANKS TO A LOOPHOLE DURING PROHIBITION, BUFFALO TRACE CAN CLAIM TO BE THE OLDEST OPERATING DISTILLERY IN AMERICA.

>> I THINK IN MANY WAYS, IT PARALLELS THE EVOLUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.

THERE HAS BEEN ACTIVITY ON THE SITE ONE YEAR BEFORE THE U.S.

BECAME A COUNTRY, AND WE'VE GONE ALONG MAKING WHISKEY EVER SINCE.

TURNS OUT, WE ENDED UP AS BEING ONE OF ONLY FOUR DISTILLERIES IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES THAT HAD A LICENSE TO MAKE WHISKEY DURING PROHIBITION.

THE HONEST ANSWER IS I THINK WE HAD TO HAVE FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES.

SOME WHERE WE MUST HAVE HAD AN ABILITY TO PULL SOME POLITICAL INFLUENCE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.

BECAUSE IT DOES SEEM ODD THAT THIS FACILITY WOULD HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO RECEIVE ONE OF FOUR LICENSES TO MAKE WHISKEY DURING PROHIBITION.

BUT MAKE WIS WE HE CAN -- MAKE MAKE WHISKEY WE D THEY WOULD GET SICK AND GO DOWN TO THE DOCTOR AND SAY YOU'RE SICK AND I WOULD PRESCRIBE MEDICINAL WHISKEY FOR YOU AND YOU WOULD GO WITH YOUR LITTLE PRESCRIPTION TO THE DRUG STORE AND YOU WOULD GO FULL PINT OF WHISKEY IN RETURN FOR THE PRESCRIPTION IN KENTUCKY AT LEAST, YOU COULD GET THREE OF THESE PINT BOLT AS MONTH, AND WE WERE DOING ABOUT A MILLION PINTS A MONTE PEAK.

SO YOU COULD TELL THERE WERE A LOT OF SICK FOLKS.

AND EMPLOYMENT HERE PEAKED AT 1,000 PEOPLE.

1,000 FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES.

WE HAD A HOSPITAL WITH SIX BEDS AND THINGS WERE FINE DURING THE 06S AND 70S AND TOWARD AT THE END OF THE 70s, THE HEALTH CRAZE STARTED, AND PERRIER CAME ALONG AND WINE BACARDI AND IN THE SPACE OF FROM 1980-1992, EMPLOYMENT DROPPED FROM THAT PEAK TO 50 PEOPLE.

AND WE CAME WITHIN A HAIR'S BREATH OF HAVING THE PLACE CLOSE DOWN.

AND I THINK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A REAL TRAGEDY IN TERMS OF LOSING A VITAL INDUSTRY AND DISTILLERY IN KENTUCKY.

AND SINCE 1992, WE'VE REINVESTED PROBABLY ABOUT 27, 28 MILLION IN BRINGING THE PLACE BACK AND EMPLOYMENT BACK UP TO 240, 250 PEOPLE, AND THE BOURBON BUSINESS IS LOOKING UP.

AND ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THAT THAT IS THAT CONSUMERS ARE STARTING TO DISCOVER, PARTICULARLY HERE AT HOME AND IN OVERSEAS MARKETS, THAT BOURBON IS A VERY WELL MADE TOP-QUALITY PRODUCT.

IT STARTS WITH MOTHER NATURE.

PLENTIFUL SUPPLIES OF LIMESTONE, WATER.

KENTUCKY IS BLESSED.

YOU LOOK AT THE HORSE INDUSTRY, I THINK A LOT OF THE REASON THE PEOPLE BELIEVE IT IS HERE IS BECAUSE OF THE ORIGINAL SUPPLIES OF LIMESTONE WATER THAT WERE AVAILABLE AND THE EFFECT IT HAD ON THE GRASS AND THE AGRICULTURE, AND SAME THING FOR US.

THE REASON KENTUCKY BOURBON IS MADE IN KENTUCKY AND NOT MADE SOMEWHERE ELSE IS BECAUSE OF THE PLENTIFUL WATER SUPIES, LIMESTONE, KENTUCKY WATER.

AND THEN CORN.

WE BRING IN KENTUCKY OR INDIANA CORN.

WHEAT OR RYE GRAIN DEPENDING ON THE RECIPE.

SOME RECIPES WE USE WHEAT, SOME RECIPES WE USE RYE.

AND THEN MALT AND BARLEY.

AND WHAT WE DO IS WE MILL THOSE GRAINS JUST LIKE YOU GRIND THEM IN THE KITCHEN AND TURN THEM INTO MEAL.

>> IT IS ACTUALLY A GIANT KITCHEN.

JUST A LARGE-SCALE VERSION OF WHAT YOU HAVE AT HOME NOT THAT I'M SUGGESTING THAT YOU GO HOME AND START PRACTICING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

WE CAPTURE THE ALCOHOL VAPOR IN A CONDENSER AT THE TOP OF THE SPILL, AND BRING IT BACK INTO LIQUID FORM.

NOW, THE BIG SURPRISE FOR THE VISITORS IS THAT LIQUID IS CRYSTAL CLEAR.

WHISKEY DOESN'T GET ITS COLOR FROM BEING DISTILLED.

IT TAKES ITS COLOR FROM BEING AGED.

SO WHEN IT COMES OFF THE STILL, IT LOOKS LIKE MOONSHINE AND SOME PEOPLE EVEN WHO HAVE MANAGED TO CONSUME IT SAY THAT IT ACTUALLY TASTES LIKE MOONSHINE TOO.

SO WE DO THAT DISTILLATION TWICE.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT BOURBON IS WE DO ONE DISTILLATION IN THE COLUMN AND THE OTHER DISTILLATION IN THE SMALL POT STILL.

AND THEN WE PUT IT INTO BARRELS.

AND OUR BARRELS COME FROM 90-YEAR-OLD AMERICAN WHITE OAK TREES.

THE BARREL MANUFACTURING IS STILL DONE BY HAND, AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT, THE BARRELS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, GOOD QUALITY BECAUSE WE'RE PUTTING OUR WHISKEY IN THIS ON AVERAGE FOR ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AND YOU DON'T WANT LEAKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO OCCUR.

AND THAT'S WHERE ALL OF THE FLAVORS AND THE COLOR IN BOURBON COMES FROM IS THE PROCESS THAT THIS LIQUID EXPANDING INTO THE BARREL AND THEN CONTRACTING BACK OUT BRINGING WITH IT A LOT OF THE ACIDS THAT ARE ACCUMULATED IN -- OVER TIME.

AND THAT GIVES YOU THE COLOR AND FLAVOR AND THEN AFTER EIGHT SUMMERS, WE'RE READY TO BOTTLE.

>> WE RENAMED THE DISTILLERY FOR THE TRACE IT STANDS ON AND WE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE NAME WHEN WE COMPLETED THE HISTORY RESEARCH AND WE DECIDED WE WOULD NAME THE DISTILLERY AFTER SOMETHING THAT WE DID NOT HAVE A BRAND FOR.

SO WE COULD BE MUTUAL, AND EVERYBODY SAID, WELL, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A BRAND TO GO WITH THE DISTILLERY.

SO HE SENT ELMA DOWN TO THE WAREHOUSE SYSTEM AND SAID GO PICK THE BEST BARRELS WE'VE GOT AND WE'LL HAVE A BRAND CALLED BUFFALO TRACE AND HAVE IT FOR US TO DRINK AND SNRIT GIFT SHOP.

SO WE PUT IT IN THE GIFT SHOP.

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, BUFFALO TRACE STARTED SELLING AND SO IT HAS BECOME VERY MUCH OUR FLAGSHIP BRAND, PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AND PLEASED WITH HOW WELL IT HAS DONE.

AND WE ALSO MAKE BRANDSON'S HERE WHICH IS WELL-KNOWN BOTH DOMESTICALLY AND INTERNATIONAL MARKETS.

AND WE HAVE RIP RAN WINGLE PART OF THE BUFFALO TRACE FAMILY.

WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS TO HAVE TREMENDOUS TENURE, AND WE HAVE A THE LONGEST-SERVING EMPLOYEE 50 YEARS.

MAXINE TOOK A PART-TIME JB TO PAY FOR CHRISTMAS AND AS WE LIKE TO SAY, IT MUST HAVE BEEN A PRETTY EXPENSIVE CHRISTMAS IF SHE'S STILL PAYING IT OFF.

AND WE HAVE A NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE 40 YEARS' WORTH OF SERIES.

AND OF COURSE WE HAVE ELMA LEE WHO IS NOW 84 YEARS OF AGE, CAME HERE IN 1949.

HE SAYS THAT HE'S RETIRED, BUT HE COMES IN MONDAY, WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY, THURSDAY AND TUESDAY.

YOU CAN INVARIABLY HEAR HIM PICKING OUT BARRELS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE DOING WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING, AND WE ACTUALLY NAMED A BRAND AFTER HIM.

JUST ABOUT SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS CALLED ELMER T. AND HE'S A FEW PEOPLE THAT HAVE A BRAND NAMED AFTER HIM.

SO HE DERIVES GREAT PLEASURE.

AND WE NAMED THE CLUBHOUSE AFTER HIM.

AND WE FIND THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE GOT AN INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE THAT HAS BEEN HANDED DOWN THROUGH THE GENERATIONS THAT ALLOWS US TO PASS AND KEEP A LOT OF THE LEARNINGS WE'VE HAD ABOUT MAKING WHISKEY THROUGH THE YEARS.

OUR PEOPLE HAVE HAD A LOT TO DO WITH WHY WE'RE ABLE TO PRODUCE SUCH HIGH QUALITY WHISKEYS.

>> EXECUTIVES AT BUFFALO TRACE ARE BIG BELIEVERS IN PHILANTHROPY.

THE COMPANY FUNDED THE BUFFALO EXHIBIT AT THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE GAME FARM IN FRANKFORT.

FISH AND WILDLIFE COMMISSIONER TOM BENNETT TELLS US MORE ABOUT THE EXHIBIT AND THE SALATO WILDLIFE EDUCATION CENTER.

>> WE HAVE AN EXHIBIT SPONSORED BY THE BUFFALO TRACE DISTILLERY THAT REPRESENTS OUR NATIVE BISON THAT WERE IN KENTUCKY FOR THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YEARS, AND THEN DISAPPEARED.

MARK BROWN, PRESIDENT OF BUFFALO TRACE DISTILLERY HERE FELL IN LOVE WITH SALATO EDUCATIONAL WILDLIFE CENTER AND IT WAS SORT OF A VERY GOOD MARRIAGE.

THE EDUCATIONAL MISSION OF THE SALATO WILDLIFE EDUCATION SENTER IS TO TAKE YOU ON A JOURNEY ACROSS KENTUCKY.

AS YOU GO IN THE INSIDE OF THE BUILDING AND LEAVE THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING, YOU'RE ACTUALLY JOURNEYING ACROSS DIFFERENT ECOSYSTEMS IN KENTUCKY.

THE FIRST EXHIBIT INSIDE AND OUTSIDE IS THE EASTERN DPORS AS YOU TRANSITION THROUGH THE BLUEGRASS REGION AND FINALLY YOU END UP AT THE WESTERN WETLANDS OF FAR WESTERN KENTUCKY.

SO, WHETHER IT IS NATIVE PLANTS OR NATIVE WILDLIFE, YOU SORT OF TAKE YOUR JOURNEY ACROSS KENTUCKY AND LEARN ABOUT THE DIVERSITY OF WILDLIFE IN KENTUCKY.

THE SALATO SENDER THE OPEN EVERY DAY TO THE PUBLIC EXCEPT MONDAYS AND STATE HOLIDAYS.

WELL, IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A FELLOW COULD TURN COFFEE CANS, SCRAP METAL AND OTHER PIECES OF JUNK INTO WORKS OF ART LIKE THIS.

A PERFECT REPLICA OF A 19-12 BEAR CATTING I BELIEVE.

THAT IS AMAZING.

AND THAT'S WHY I WANT YOU TO MEET ALBERT HARTMAN OF COVINGTON AND WATCH HIM GO TO WORK IN HIS BASEMENT SHOP.

>> HERE COME THE NEIGHBORS AGAIN TO CHECK OUTAL HARTMANN'S LATEST CREATIONS.

JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORS AROUND HERE, THESE FOLKS CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THESE BEAUTIFUL REPLICAS OF ANTIQUE CARS AND SHIPS USED TO BE OLD COFFEE CANS AND OTHER PIECES OF METALLIC JUNK.

>> IT IS AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH A COFFEE CAN.

A MAXWELL COFFEE CAN, GOOD TO THE LAST CUT.

[ LAUGHTER ] >> AL TOOK UP THIS HOBBY ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO WHEN HE RETIRED.

HE IS NOW IN HIS MID- 80S AND STILL AT IT EVERY DAY.

AND HIS SKILL IS SHARPER THAN EVER.

>> IT IS A HEAVY WIRE.

AND THIS IS HOW YOU HAVE TO CUT THE SPOKES OUT OF METAL.

YOU JUST CUT THEM OUT REAL THIN LIKE THAT.

AND YOU FORM THEM UP AND SAW THEM ON TO THE WHEELS HERE.

>> AND THE WHEELS ARE MADE OUT OF?

>> HEAVY COPPER WIRE THAT I HAVE HERE.

JUST PUT ON AND WRAP IT AROUND.

>> I CAN SEE THE TIN AND WE STILL SEE THE NUMBER OF CARBOHYDRATES AND CHOLESTEROL AND ALL THE NECESSARY STUFF.

>> IT IS ALL STANG -- STRANGE STUFF.

JUST PIECES OUT OF ELECTRICAL SWITCHES, AND ANYTHING THAT FITS.

LIKE JARS, ALL KINDS OF STUFF.

I'VE GOT SMALL CLOCKS AND EVERY OTHER THING THAT I USE.

AFTER IT IS PAINTED, NOBODY KNOW WHAT IS IT IS.

THIS IS MY BENDING TOOL HERE.

THIS IS HOW I BEND MY MATERIAL, JUST LIKE THIS.

AND THAT MAKES IT AN EDGE.

THAT WAY THERE.

YOU FIX IT UP THAT WAY.

>> LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE GOT A SHIP BACK THERE.

>> YES.

THIS IS A SHIP I'M STARTING TO MAKE.

IT'S A -- I'LL GET MY PICTURE FOR IT.

THE U.S.S.

LEGION.

IT WAS A WEATHER SHIP DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR.

, IT WAS A WEATHER PATROL VESSEL ON THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.

>> AND AL IS PASSIONATE ABOUT WORLD WAR II ERA SHIPS SINCE HE'S A WORLD WAR II NAVY VETERAN.

EVERY LAST DETAIL OF THE ACTUAL SHIP IS CAREFULLY BUILT.

>> THOSE DAYS THEY HAD THINGS IN THERE YOU COULD MAKE.

AND THERE WAS THIS, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD MAKE THAT THING.

SO I WENT AHEAD AND STARTED FIXING IT UP AND I DID A LITTLE BETTER.

FROM THEN ON, I STARTED MAKING ALL KINDS OF CARS.

CARS, SHIPS AND BOATS.

I MADE THE TWO DESTROYERS I WAS ON WHEN HE WAS IN SERVICE.

A CAR LIKE THAT TAKES ABOUT 45 HOURS TO MAKE THAT.

BUT THE SHIP I MADE TOOK ME 280 HOURS TO MAKE THE SHIP.

I JUST LIKE TO GET THE THING WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE RIGHT.

WHAT THE PICTURE SHOWS AND I TRY TO GET IT EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.

IT WORKS ON IT, AND IT'S GOOD THAT WAY.

>> GOT TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOUR WORK.

>> YEAH.

SOMETIMES I GET THE THING ALL FIXED UP, AND THEN I WONDER, DID I MAKE THAT?

[ LAUGHTER ] IT KEEPS ME YOUNG.

I'M RETIRED.

I HAVE A BAD KNEE AND I CAN'T DO TOO MUCH WORK.

AND THIS KEEPS ME BUSY.

AND KEEPS ME FROM FORGETTING THE PAIN ON MY KNEE.

BUT IT KEEPS ME GOING.

I HAVE SOMETHING TO DO.

I DON'T WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.

JUST KEEP ON GOING.

>> AL HARTMANN IS NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF SELLING HIS WORK ALTHOUGH HE THINK HE NEEDS TO B HE JUST GIVES IT AWAY TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE DETAIL OF HIS WORK.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE MADE OF NUTS HE HAS PULLED OUT OF A JAR SOMEWHERE.

QUITE A FELLOW.

>>> NOW, WE'RE GOING TO GO UP IN THE AIR.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A NOSTALGIC RIDE ON THE OLD SKI LIFT AT NATURAL BRIDGE STATE PARK AND SEE ONE OF THE STATE'S PREMIER GEOLOGIC SITES.

>> A LADY CAME IN FROM JAPAN.

SHE WAS 99 YEARS OLD, SPOKE NO ENGLISH, BUT SHE HAD AN INTERPRETER.

AND SHE TOOK SMALL STEPS AND SHE WAS ABLE TO WALK OVER TO THE NATURAL BRIDGE AND BACK.

SHE WAS JUST ECSTATIC.

SHE LOVED IT AND SAID SHE AUTS WANTED TO SEE THE NATURAL BRIDGE.

WE HAVE SEEN PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

IT IS PRETTY AMAZING TO SEE ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT FIND THIS LITTLE SPOT IN KENTUCKY.

THIS IS THE EASY WAY TO SEE THE NATURAL BRIDGE WELL.

HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WALK UP, RIDE DOWN, RIDE UP, AND WALK DOWN WHICH THEY SAY IS A LOT EASIER.

WE'RE HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE.

WE CAN PUT WHEELCHAIRS ON IF THEY ARE COLLAPSABLE.

SO MANY PEOPLE CAN SEE THE NATURAL BRIDGE FROM THE SKYLIFT THAT AREN'T ABLE TO WALK.

MY DAD, HE'S THE FOUNDER OF THE NATURAL BRIDGE SKYLIFT.

HIS NAME WAS ED MUSIC.

AND IT OPENED IN 1967.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE BOTH UNDER HIGH PRESSURE JOBS IN LOUISVILLE.

WE CAME AND BOUGHT IN WITH MY DAD, AND BROUGHT US TO THIS WONDERFUL PLACE.

>> THE SKYLIFT IS A HALF MILE LONG, WE HAVE 52 CHAIRS, 22-MINUTES ROUND TRIP, AROUND 11 MINUTES EACH WAY.

HAVE A LITTLE OVER A MILE OF CABLE.

YOU'RE ON A 1200 FOOT ELEVATION WHEN YOU GET TO THE TOP OF THE SKY LIFT AND YOU'RE ACTUALLY 600 FOOT ABOVE THE BOTTOM PLATT FOR WHEN YOU GET TO THE TOP.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SCARED TO RIDE A SKY LIFT BECAUSE THEY THINK THE CHAIR IS GOING TO FALL OFF.

I'VE GOT A HYDRAULIC MACHINE THAT WE ACTUALLY PUT ON THE CABLE, IT OPENS IT UP, LIKE THIS.

THERE'S A PLASTIC CORE IN THE CENTER.

WE CUT A PIECE OF THAT PLASTIC CORE OUT, AND THERE'S A HOLE IN THE END OF WHAT WE CALL THE CHAIR CLIP AND VETO TAKE A BIG SCREW DRIVER OR PUN IN WHICH THERE TO INSERT AND IT IT HAS A WHOLE IN THE CENTER THAT CATCHES IN ONE OF THE BIG STRANDS OF CABLE AND WE INSERT THE CLIP INSIDE THE CABLE AND CLOSE IT BACK DOWN, AND ONE OF THE BIG STRANDS OF CABLE THAT HAS ABOUT 10 OR 12 SMALL WIRES IN IT ACTUALLY FITS IN A MOTH IN THE CENTER.

WHEN THE TABLE ACTUALLY COMES BACK DOWN ON THE CHAIR CLIP THERE IS 1200 POUNDS OF PRESSURE ON IT.

SO IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THAT CHAIR CLIP TO COME OUT, SO IT'S A PRETTY INTERESTING SYSTEM, COMPUTERIZED, ALL THE CABLE IS DONE HYDRAULICALLY IN CASE WE LOSE HE ELECTRICITY.

WE ALSO HAVE A 50KW GENERATOR WHERE WE CONTINUE TO MAKE OUR OWN POWER AND CONTINUE TO RUN.

THE NATURAL BRIDGE AND EVERYTHING AROUND IT WHICH IS THE HORSE PARK AND SOME OF THE FALLS, IT IS JUST SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN WELL ADVERTISE ON THE INTERNET IN EUROPE, AND WE SEE A LOT OF THOSE PEOPLE.

WE GET A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM GERMANY, SWEDEN, ENGLAND, AUSTRALIA, JUST EVERYWHERE YOU CAN IMAGINE.

PEOPLE COME DOWN AND BRAG ON OUR YOUNG ADULTS THAT WORK FOR US ALL THE TIME.

AND MY WIFE DOES MOST OF THE HIRING AND SHE'S GOT A PRETTY GOOD KNACK FOR FINDING PEOPLE THAT ARE FRIENDLY AND THAT ARE GOING BE AMBASSADORS FOR OUR STATE.

>> I TALKED TO THE GUY UP TOP.

THE CHAIRS ARE NUMBERS ON THE BACK AND ON THE FRONT SO WHEN THE CHAIR GETS UP THERE HE'LL KNOW WHICH NUMBERS TO STOP AND WHICH ONES TO SLOW OR NOT DO ANYTHING TO.

>> WE HAVE WEDDINGS.

THEY HAVE THE TUCKS AND LONG WHITE DRESSES AND WE HAVE THEM FROM THAT ATTIRE TO COWBOY TO SHORTS.

JUST AMAZING TO SEE ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT WILL COME UP AND WANT TO GET MARRIED ON THE NATURAL BRIDGE.

>> FIVE OR SIX OR SEVEN YEARS AGO, WE HAD A FELLOW THAT CAME UP AND HAD A CANVASS BAG, HAD IT HIS WIFE'S ASHES IN IT BECAUSE SHE HELPED TO DEVELOP A LOT OF THE TRAILS IN THE RED RIVER GORGE, AND HER WISHES WERE TO HAVE WILDLIFE SEEDS MIXED WITH HER ASHES AND SCATTERED OUT.

AND HE SCATTERED SOME AND SCATTERED SOME ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN AND HE COMES UP EVERY YEAR AT LEAST TWICE AND STILL PUTS OUT THE WILDFLOUR -- WILDFLOWER SEEDS.

>> PEOPLE WILL COME UP AND THROW ALL OF THEIR CHANGE ON THE MONEY ROCK.

THE KIDS REALLY ENJOY IT BECAUSE THEY'LL SEE ALL OF THE PENNIES AND DIMES AND QUARTERS ON THE ROCK AND SAY GIVE ME SOME MONEY SO I CAN THROW.

IT IS KINDS OF LIKE A WISHING THING.

THE PEOPLE ARE WONDERFUL AND COME BACK EVERY YEAR.

IT IS REALLY A LOT TO FUN JUST TO WORK HERE.

>> WE WOULD BE THRILLED FOR TO YOU COME AND SEE US AND TALK TO US, TAKE A RIDE ON OUR SKY LIFT.

BE ABLE TO SEE THE NATURAL BRIDGE AND ALL OF THE BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS.

>> WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE ABOUT OUT OF TIME.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANKS FOR WATCHING AND I'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
