Aspen Carving Podcast
Dean Petersen from Cheyenne, Wyoming has reached out to let us know that he has just completed a podcast on aspen tree carvings left by sheepherders in the Rocky Mountains, entitled, “Written on the Wind: Sheep Herder Carvings in the Aspens.” Although Mexican and Peruvian herders left many of the carvings, he felt that the Basque community might still be interested in the program.
