What a show this will be!  Meet Eva Jensen, the archeologist who discovered the 132 year-old rifle in the Great Basin National Park late last year.   The old rifle has been exposed  to sun, snow, wind & rain, and was found leaning against a tree in the park.  The cracked wood stock, weathered to gray, and the brown rusted barrel blended in to the colors of the old juniper tree in a remote rocky outcrop, keeping the rifle hidden for years.

Oh…….so many questions!!!  Eva will tell us what they know so far.
