Hosts Peggy Berryhill and Leigh Anne Lindsey visit with architect Michael Barron Wike who showed us his new architectural gem of a project on the Northern CA coast, just north of Anchor Bay in Mendocino County. Michael explains how this home is Energy Independent and how his designs he hopes some will consider as an energy and power evolution from the Sea Ranch designs which influenced him back at UC Berkeley when he first saw a drawing of the Sea Ranch complex being designed for the North Coast.

KGUA host, filmmaker, and podcaster Leigh Anne Lindsey talks with The Longest Trail & award-winning Author Roni McFadden (also Seabiscuit Heritage Foundation board member) from her home in Hayden, Idaho (near  Coeur d'Alene) about their lifelong passion for horses they've known and owned, and their love of packing into the mountains. McFadden talks about her young life in the Sierras and Big Sur mountains during the 1960s, and Lindsey talks about her years as a Rocky Mtn. trail guide, and packing in the Aspen-Snowmass Wilderness area during the 1970s and 80s.

McFadden is a mother of four and grandmother of sixteen. She grew up in Altadena, CA, lived for many years in Mendocino County, and now lives in Hayden, ID with her husband of 50 years John, and her latest horse, Romeo, a treasured "Leapord Appaloosa" (a white pattern in horses characterized by a variable amounts of white in the coat, with or without pigmented leopard spots.) The McFaddens once had property on the North End of the original home of Seabiscuit near Willits in Mendocino County, called Ridgewood Ranch (there is 5K acres left of 16K acres which it was back in Seabiscuit’s Day. Lindsey and her 4 other siblings still own over 700 acres of Seabiscuit's home on the Southwestern side, which their parents named "Linholme Ranch & Vineyards.")

During her time in Mendocino County, McFadden had a career with Redwood Valley Equine, the horse veterinarians who cared for the horses at the ranch for over 25 years, and through that connection she was able to write and publish her first book. "JOSEPHINE~A TALE OF HOPE & HAPPY ENDINGS" a children's book about a great granddaughter of the legendary Seabiscuit who becomes orphaned at four days of age and follows the filly as she is accepted by a surrogate mare. All proceeds of that book go to Seabiscuit Therapeutic Riding Program at Ridgewood.

McFadden has her own small publishing company called THE BISCUIT PRESS, and her love of horses and the unusual experiences she had as a teenager working at a pack station in the High Sierras are what make up her biographical book, "THE LONGEST TRAIL." You can find it on Amazon and at can order from any bookseller in both written and audio form. It is currently in development to be made into a fictional movie.

Lindsey is a life-long horsewoman and a film and video producer at SEA STORM STUDIOS, INC. in the Sea Ranch, CA (Sonoma County), where they are currently working on a feature-length documentary called SEABISCUIT'S LEGACY, plus a supporting podcast(being created from these radio shows).

ISEABISCUIT'S LEGACY is a charitable project being created to help benefit the Seabiscuit Therapeutic Riding Center, along with the Frank R. Howard Foundation (created Seabiscuit's owner, Charles S. Howard, to help build the first hospital in nearby Willits and the Seabiscuit Heritage Foundation (which conserves the land and preserves the history of Seabiscuit for future generations to enjoy). 

The SHF is also the fiscal non-profit sponsor for Lindsey's documentary: 10% of every donation to the Seabiscuit Heritage Foundation marked towards the production of SEABISCUIT'S LEGACY will go to the foundation for their fiscal management. In other words, a portion of every donation will help the foundation preserve the buildings and history, and conserve the land for future generations to enjoy), while also helping to produce this film. 

Filming and editing are underway in 2023, and the documentary crew welcomes everyone who would like to join their journey by donating to their cause to show the positive transformation between horses and humans, and how giving people and animals a chance to thrive can make all the difference in the world.
