Bill's Weekend Up North from June 30th, 2026 · The Radio From Hell Show - Best Of

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So yesterday Sunday, Sunday, I was up in up where
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: your farm is.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: You know, And why didn't you come see me?
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Because I was busy.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I was doing something fun instead of seeing, instead of
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: looking at It would have.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Been work if you came to see my trees.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: So so I'm up there and I haven't been up
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in that area for a long time, and I met
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I met a city councilman from the newly incorporated city there,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Don Hickman is his name, Very nice guy, and he
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: listens to the program. And we had we had a lot.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Of but there's this. So now they're just trying to
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: decide what.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: To name Ogden Valley City.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: First of all, it's you know, it's always been confusing
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: that they call that area above Ogden. You know, you
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: go up the canyon to this valley up there where
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Huntsville is, but it's called the Ogden.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Valley, Like this is the Salt Lake Valley, and Salt
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Lake City is in Salt Lake Valley.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: But Ogden is not in the valley. So that's always
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: been minded confusing. And so right now they're calling it
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Ogden Valley City, which is not a very good name.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: But they're they're they're going to change it, and they're
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: getting input and I think there'll be a vote on it.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: And so here's some of the suggestions that he that
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I had heard. He said, some people want to call
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: it Eden because now there's a little town up there
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: called Eden, but that has now been incorporated by this
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: new city. So if so, that's kind of confusing too.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: You know, you know, business, if you had come to
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: my tree farm, you would have you would have known
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: that my farm is in the middle of where this
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: new change, my address will change.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Will That's that's fascinating, Gina. But once again, I was
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: having fun. I didn't want to go see you. So
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: so he said, so maybe people said Eden. And then
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the other suggestion, and I think maybe this is the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: what what it'll end up being is Pineview because the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: reservoir is there. Pineview City.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: You know, that's a great name for a tree farm
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: residents address.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, although that although now some no, I
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: don't know this. I don't know the taxonomy like you
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I should. But I think Dawn or somebody else there said,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: but you know, there there aren't these aren't really pines
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: that we have here there. I don't know they're they're
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: they're not technically pine trees, they're I don't know what
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: they are, but so but but everybody calls them pine trees.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So anyway, so those are the two possibilities, and I
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: think it'll probably be that. But I was so so
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: we so we left, and I thought, I thought, for
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: just a second, I thought I'd ask the the host
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: of the party I was at. I said, you know
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: where Gina lives? Could you just recoon? Then I thought, no,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go see Gina there. I've been
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: having a I've been I've been having a good time.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I don't want to just I just want to. I
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: just want to. I just want to leave with the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: glow of having a good time.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Were literally down the street. It would have taken you
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: two minutes.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I know, he said, I could I know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: He said, I know right where she lives. I could
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: tell you. And I said, well, no, I don't want to.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I just I just don't want to stop in. Besides,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: they you know, I don't know how Gina and her
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: husband are at the farm. For all I know, they
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: sit around naked all the time, and if I knock
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: on the door, you know.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Are you no, you would have seen Joe in his
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: overalls well, which is what he wears at the farm.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I think I've seen a picture of him in his
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: overalls and he's quite fetching. So maybe you know the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: answer to this question.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: As we were driving back, it was the sun was
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: beginning to set, although it was a while before sundown.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: And we start up Trapper's Loop and there are people
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: parked in cars all along the side and and what now,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I was, Were they just there to watch the.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Sun having photo shoots. People go up there for family photos,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: for wedding photos.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Oh really yep.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So so the first the first hill, uh, there were
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: probably five or six cars, and there were people out,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: you know, gambling around. And and then then we went
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: up over the hill a little bit and there was
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: another bunch of cars.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: It is a very popular place to get.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Your it's just for photo opportunities.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: It's because and it and it happens like it at
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the Golden End. You know what the Golden hour is
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: that you know, allegedly the best lighters.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't really see it from the road, but
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I imagine if you get over a little bit, you'd
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: look off into the into the vastness of the valley
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: and all of.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: That, and it's it is beautiful, but it always makes
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: me nervous because there are families there with little kids
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: and stuff, and they're just on the side of the road.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: They're far off there, pretty I always worry about that
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: they you know, you just tell the kids stay on
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: this side of the car. You're fine.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's and there. And you probably also noticed there's
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: a lot lot of construction going on up there, new
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: groomes and oh yeah, in the canyon and over trappers
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: there's a whole new subdivision there. And yeah, and I
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: am very much one of those people that once we
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: bought the farm up there, that I didn't want one
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: single other person.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Now that I now that I've got mine.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I want to be the last first. And that is
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: not what is happening there.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's a beautiful place though. Man, it's
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: just so what a beautiful valley.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: You know, you could come hang out with me there.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Well, I've got this other friend up there that I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that I liked, that I like to visit, so it's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: not likely that I'll stop in.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Sunday night, we had a fire and we made
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: s'mores outside.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: On the He has a trout pond.
• 5:49

  Speaker 2: We have a little bar.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: And and and and we and we haven't. We had
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: a good time. You got up your game, I guess,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: so I'm getting here.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Utah is home to six native pine species. I don't
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: know what they were, Monosa, which we have, pinion, limber,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: bristle cone. We also have bristle cone is my favorite.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: They have the longish needles.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: They look like bristles on a on a toilet brush
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: or something. You know. Okay, lodge pole and pinion. Did
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I say opinion already? Yeah?
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know why what? Maybe I misheard? Oh gone.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: If you're listening and there is.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: A a you noticed the roundabout, that probably was something
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: you hadn't seen before. I didn't you went through a roundabout.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: There's no way you came up without going through the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: round about.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: No, No, I didn't.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: There's no way he went to his house without going
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: through the roundabout.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure I didn't. Are you driving? Yes?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Anyway, there's a giant roundabout there and oh.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I know, see, okay, here's I didn't go through a roundabout,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: my wife said. And we hadn't been up there in years.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: My wife said, huh, I wonder why the GPS told
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: us to turn here.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Oh you turned before the roundabout.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what that must There must be a.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Turned by the chevron.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so so yes.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: There is a way, don't. I don't know why you
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: do that to me. No, Bill, you had to go
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: through a round there's no way.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, but the roundabout there we are donating flying carpet
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: farms trees. There will be three trees. Oh so they
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: get the trees, Kerry, you get them too, if we
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: can ever find someone to move them. They're yeah, they're.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: They're getting so so they'll be there'll be three enormous
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: pine trees there to obscure people's vision when they go around.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Make it difficult.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: No, no, it's not, because they said. Part of the
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: problem is when it's dark, people are driving straight through
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: it and getting an accidents they meet. You need a
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: barrier in the roundabout so they can say they can
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: run into a tree so they see it coming and going, Oh,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I guess I have to go around that.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So the roundabout is where Spring Creek is. Yeah, okay,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that's all that would be new to me. I haven't
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: been up there.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: That's that's what I was thinking.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: So but when I say, when I say, I didn't
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: go through a round pretty sure I didn't drive through
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: a roundabout.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know why you would question you.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: But your wife was confused about turning where you turned.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: She wasn't confused.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: She just said, as we were going up further, you know,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and she's like, this isn't the way. I wonder why,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and I and then I then when we made the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: left turn, and then I could see there were that busy,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: busier road. I think I think the GPS did that
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the just because it's probably.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: A little shorter.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: The GPS knew that you needed to stay as far
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: away from me as possible.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Don't or don't go to the roundabout. I have a
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: noted hatred of Brenton. No, I don't. As a matter
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: of fact, I enjoy roundsbouts. I have a really fun
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: at the one now they put up by the Capitol.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I really I enjoy that because it's better than what
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: was there for sure, but people still get kind of
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: confused about now when.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: There's accidents, all are there? Oh yeah, when am I
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: supposed to stop? I don't. Sometimes Bill just gets in
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: that roundabout and just keeps going.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: And you know when you do that, for apople who
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: are at the yield signs, they can't move because you
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: just keep zooming around. Anyway, Sid says, you know what
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Bill's friend didn't have Joe.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Joe is the nicest person who ever exists.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Well, he is very nice.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I think Sid sat next to Joe.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: He is very nice. There were nice people where I was.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: To text question, were you hanging out with that down.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: God? No, it was not that down all right,
