102- Herbert Hover & His Tiny Town: An Interview with Tawney Carrier of the Purple Sage Riders

The History Of The Evergreen State

Presenting the first interview ever done on the History of the Evergreen State Podcast! President of the Purple Sage Riders of the Back Country Horsemen of Washington, Tawney Carrier, joins me on the show today to discuss the fascinating life of Herbert Hover and the tiny eastern Washington town he founded, Hover. Little more than a ghost town today with just a few foundations marking the spot now, Hover has become over the decades a popular dumping ground. Tawney and the Purple Sage Riders have conducted numerous cleanups over the years to make sure this special place doesn't get ruined. Please bear with me during this interview, as it is my first, and I hope to conduct more of these in the near future, and if any of you have been long time listeners to the podcast, then you will remember it took me a while to hit my stride. Thanks for listening to this fun conversation I had with Tawney
