Jim Hinkley will tell you that a lot of the ghost towns he visits around the Old West used to be booming mining towns.

There's always somebody who got rich, but usually it's the people who sold pickaxes and wheelbarrows, not the people who are out there digging in the dirt.

Coming up, we'll hear which ones he recommends you visit from his 50 years of Road Trip

Adventures.

Kathy Ryan knows that in Ireland, the traditional songs she sings are never taken lightly.

A lot of people say it's because Irish music sings to the heart.

I believe it sings to something larger, the spirit.

And we'll hear what Carl Hoffman uncovered about the mysterious disappearance of Michael Rockefeller

while looking to buy primitive art in the middle of New Guinea.

Headhunting was an integral part of their culture and part of that head hunting you

know was in cannibalism and Michael unwittingly stepped into a very complex

political world.

Ghost Town's headhunters and the wistful soul of Ireland are all just ahead on travel with Rick

Steve's.

Stay with us.

Did he drown or meet his end at the hands of cannibals?

We explore a Rockefeller family mystery a little later in the hour on today's travel with Rick

And singer Kathy Ryan shares songs that convey the spirit history and legends of Ireland.

She joins us in just a bit.

Let's start the hour planning a dusty road trip in search of what remains of the Wild West

before it all disappears.
