TPW TV—NATURAL CONNECTION: Two young mothers bond 
over the great outdoors… details on Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas (Airdate: May 12 – 18)

The outdoors brings people together, as it did SO-chee 
Rodriguez and Adrian Sabom. So-chee grew up in El Paso; 
the Franklin Mountains were her backyard. Adrien grew 
up hunting on her family’s south Texas Ranch.

19—[Xochitl Rodriguez] Adrian and I met at a Texas Parks and Wildlife 
Foundation event.   
[Adrian Sabom]
I met Xochitl at the We Will Not Be Tamed campaign launch party, and we were 
talking about, well she has never shot a gun and I had never hiked the Franklin 
Mountains, and so it evolved into, we should each do each other’s thing.

Each woman visited the other on her home turf. So-chee’s 
visit to Adrian’s ranch started with a horseback ride.

33—[Adrian Sabom]
After horseback riding, we went to the big event--
[Xochitl Rodriguez]
The moment we’ve all been waiting for.
[Adrian Sabom]
--Xochitl shooting a gun for the first time.
[Xochitl Rodriguez]
This is the craziest thing I’ve ever done.  I was really really scared.
[Adrian Sabom]
She was super nervous in the beginning.  You could tell her hands were shaking, 
she was sweating. 
[Xochitl Rodriguez]
I learned a lot. I shook after every clay. But then I finally got into the groove and 
felt a little bit better.

Share the full experience of both women when you tune 
into the TPW TV show on PBS the week of May 12. 

For Texas Parks and Wildlife, I’m Cecilia Nasti.
