Go Out and LIVE It
from Dead & Gone in Wyoming Hosted by Scott Fuller for the 10Cast Network
On September 17, 2024, 22-year-old Austin King stood on the summit of Eagle Peak, the highest point in Yellowstone National Park. In the summit register, he wrote about numb fingers, fogged glasses, rain, sleet, hail, wind, and a route he knew was “not the right path.” Then he wrote one final line that would come to define the search for him: “Life is beautiful. Go out and LIVE IT.” Three days later, Austin missed his scheduled boat pickup near Yellowstone Lake’s Southeast Arm. His camp and personal effects were found in the upper Howell Creek area, but Austin was gone. In this episode, we follow Austin’s final known route, the search around Eagle Peak, the volunteer effort at Eagle Creek, the theories and limits of public speculation, and the reason this story matters now: Yellowstone fills with millions of visitors every summer, and one careful witness may still notice something the mountain has not yet given back.
