"There aren't so many real cowboys left in America, just a lot of folks who dress like them," writes Brendan Leonard. Maybe the cowboy is gone, but the tradition of going West to reinvent oneself has remained a part of our culture. Where does that desire come from? Is it a part the American Psyche? In Brendan's case, it came from his father's passion for the West. In small town Iowa, the only way Brendan and his dad, Joe, could foster the dream of red rock and sage was by watching westerns. Lots of westerns. Today, Brendan presents a story about mountain people and the dreams parents instill in their children. Go West.

- Brendon, love listening to your episodes. Just wanted you to know, you'd be surprised at just how often on Monday morning your Dad WILL come in to work and tell us about what your up to. I work with him and thats how I know about the Dirtbag Diaries. He's been asking for weeks, "Listened to the Diaries lately?" I am glad to say, tomorrow morning I can tell him yes!!
