A casual daytime hike on July 13 in the Inyo National Forest for an OU professor was initially documented per his usual text pattern to his family, with a message at the beginning and a second one at the peak. When the third message at the bottom of the mountain never came, his trek quickly turned into a life-saving race to beat the clock.
Ron Bolen, a co-founder of Invictus Energy Group, LLC and former managing director of The InvestLinc Group, is an OU entrepreneurship and economic development assistant professor and its entrepreneurship executive director. His daughter, Meredith Bolen, 27, said her dad is an avid hiker, and because he often embarks on difficult climbs, she didnât expect this solo Nevada hike to be any different.

MAKE HAY EARLY: Producers looking to harvest prairie hay need to keep in mind that warm-season grasses offer the best quality if harvested in late June or early July, before the plants have a chance to develop mature seed heads. Depleting too much of the prairie hay crop could be detrimental for next year’s crop and beyond.
Timing is everything when deciding to cut prairie hay, to ensure harvesting an optimum-quality feedstuff. That optimum quality comes before the warm-season grasses big bluestem, little bluestem, indiangrass, switchgrass, prairie sandreed and gramas that normally make up a prairie hay mix have a chance to fully develop mature seed heads, says Brad Schick, a Nebraska Extension educator based in Nance County.
