Summary

On November 22, 2022, just two days after Thanksgiving, River Barry was gearing up to go mountain biking in Kings Creek, Moab, Utah.

River soon found herself in the middle of a rescue. Listen into this episode to hear what happened and what she learned from being at the right place at the right time.
