[00:00:00]Hey Brian here. Glad you're riding along. Hopefully we learn something together or at least kill some time.

[00:00:06]Coming south on 119 out of the Charleston side and the valley walls come up on you fast. You go from four lanes and a Walmart to this in about three minutes.

[00:00:15]Cabin Creek country. [music] I've run through here plenty of times on route watching the manifest, not the ridgeline.

[00:00:22]Different when you're not watching [music] the clock.

[00:00:24]I keep thinking about the fact that this is where the match actually got struck.

[00:00:28]1912 Paint Creek and Cabin Creek Baldwin-Felts guards evicting families in January. Mother Jones down in these hollers telling miners what they already knew but needed to hear out loud. Blair Mountain gets the name recognition.

[00:00:43]But the fire started here first. The road doesn't put a marker on it. It just keeps going like it always did. Thank you for [music] riding with me. We are in this together. Keep going.
