Four Summer Stories Added to the Tin Shed
We're not poaching on the classic MacGillivray/Freeman surf flick but we do have news about one of its stars. Gerry Lopez's field report, "Surfing with Aloha," is one of four new stories that have just been added to the Tin Shed. Sailboat captain Liz Clark, whale activist Crystal Thornburg and the beautiful-but-burdened buffalo of Yellowstone National Park are also featured. The links below will take you directly to the stories or you can slide open the front door and seek out the new icons among the other artifacts in the Shed.

Freedom to Roam: Horse Butte Neighbors of Buffalo – Besides highways and housing developments, Yellowstone buffalo face an additional threat when they roam: government agents who chase the buffalo back into the park or send them to slaughter.
