S:1 E:17A “Drunk Haircut”



Trinity talks about trying to get through the metal detector in Provo and instead gets into a fight with a cop. Trinity has a problem with authority and it manifests itself at the worst times. She reminisces about the day the Feds busted into her home, took Bob away, and she was arrested. Davis County jail is a good place to make goals.


S:1 E:16A “Sanctuary”



Dreams of a drug runner.  Trinity reveals her goals and aspirations that are so much more than just money. Burning Man, the Emerald Triangle, celebrating her life, dancing under the stars, and creating a sustainable future that is so much more than just a working farm.


S:1 E:11A “Quantum Karaoke”



Driving the load through a snarl of traffic on Portland’s 205 Beltway is no easy task and Trinity gives advice to wanna-be singers practicing into their hairbrushes. She regrets never having gone to Voodoo Doughnuts and pontificates on her son’s ability to offend yoga students. They drive the load along the mighty Columbia River stopping for hot chocolate at Multnomah Falls, stopping for lunch in prison towns, and getting past snoopy security guards.


S:1 E:9A “The Bad Feminist”



Riding up the Redwood Highway and reminiscing about her application to become a courier, Trinity admits she’s one of those who are driven, not one of those who drive. Before leaving, the boys kiss her goodbye and send the load down the mountains with their prayers. She and Bob make their way through the steep switch backs of the Coastal Mountains and heavy fog of the Redwoods.


S:1 E:8A “Lie to Me”



Buying product in the Emerald Triangle involves hours of waiting, driving, and waiting some more.  When the would-be sellers finally do show up, with something to sell that’s actually worth buying, cash gets counted on site, and the buying process begins. Trinity loves to wait at the cat pee bookstore and laughs at Bob’s irritability as they wait on the brokers who are waiting on the farmers.


S:1 E:7A “Princess and a Rope Swing”



You only get one chance to make a first impression, and the boys’ farm did not miss that opportunity. Mixing the Art of Living, in spite of remote and difficult conditions, with the science of growing takes lots of planning and hard work. And, unless Crazy Jared is in charge, the boys were successful at both.


S:1 E:6A “Sexier ‘n a Leather Purse from Tijuana”



The Redwood Highway is a dark and mysterious path, shrouded by majestic, 3,000-year-old giants. A short respite in Laytonville holds it own unique surprises, but the spell quickly deepens on Spy Rock and Bell Spring county roads as our couriers arrive at the destination of their journey. So many super-secret secrets of the industry.  The rule of thumb is, there’s always a Utah connection.


S:1 E:5A “Electric Blue Honda Gangsta”



Trinity encounters a gangster, with a 9mm, in his electric blue Honda Civic. Fortunately, her limited exposure to gang violence quickly passes as he zooms off into the dusty evening of California’s central valley.  Our couriers finally arrive at the Redwood Highway, only to be stopped cold at the Willits Friday Night Street Festival. Protesters come to the rescue of ancient Redwoods threatened by our modern roadways.


S:1 E:4A “No Atheists”



Staying in the same hotels trip after trip heightens the awareness of the staff to a courier who fills with her bags with cold hard cash. Traveling while white, however, brings its own anonymity. Nevada is full of intensity with larger than life bon fires, white knuckle rides, psychotic pioneers, and the amazing Chinese culture.


Trinity’s Emerald Triangle S:1 E:16 “Sanctuary”



Dreams of a drug runner.  Trinity reveals her goals and aspirations that are so much more than just money. Burning Man, the Emerald Triangle, celebrating her life, dancing under the stars, and creating a sustainable future that is so much more than just a working farm.
