High Plains regional news
Regional Features
  • Baca County in Southeastern Colorado has a colorful history that includes a wide diversity of cultures, landscapes, and ownership. Around 1000 A.D., a culture of hunter/gatherers named Apishapa (uh-PISH-uh-puh) roamed the grasslands and desert-like terrain. They fished in the rivers and streams that had carved out rock-lined canyons, and gathered seeds and grains from the High Plains. They left behind pictures, etched into the canyon walls, and their civilization was ultimately replaced by the nomadic Plains Indian tribes.
  • In this week’s episode, Luke is joined by his old buddy, guide J.C. McCollough, with whom he’s shared over 30 years of outdoor adventures. And this time around, we’ve been fishing for blue catfish on the Red River.
  • This week Classical Music Amarillo is revisiting recent performances by the Harrington String Quartet!
  • It’s just about time to transplant your plants into the outdoors, but…do you notice that chill? Not the outdoor temperature, but the panic of realizing that some of your plants won’t survive the process of moving to the outdoors? For what it's worth, some plants are better able to handle the process, and we’ll talk this week about which, and methods to help minimize the stress on your plants this year.
