In Our Own Backyard

John meets up with BLM Botanist Lara. She takes John on a tour of a local Bearpoppy bloom. While John learns about the annual bloom, he also sees the devastation of desert dumping and its effect on the local environment. Then, John assists a Henderson bee specialist, who removes and relocates hives of bees. While in Henderson, he visits one of the city's many public parks. It's there that John meets up with The Lost Coast Longboarders, a married couple who tour the West coast in search of the perfect land wave. Finally, John heads to Goodsprings to meet a paraglider who soars among the clouds.
