    A universal desire to have just five more minutes to convey our love to those who we have lost has been in existence for as long as humans have. For most of time, those wishing to connect with the deceased relied on mediums, until two of history’s most brilliant minds added science to the equation in hopes of inventing a diret line to the other side.

    254: Rocky Mountain National Park’s Historic Tea Room.
    Sep 30 2024
    Some histories are lost with time, but remnants of their existence remain. Off an unmarked trail within the park, sits an old abandoned cabin that in its hay day was a popular place for tourists to visit. It was once filled with people from around the world, coming to see Anna Wolfrom’s famous Tea Room for themselves. Anna managed to open a hugely successful business in a time it was not common for women to do so, but she didn’t stop there. Remnants of her entrepreneurial spirit remain scattered around Estes Park and the country.

I Love These Ladies

All of their episodes are a delight. Well researched and presented in a quirky manner sure to keep your attention no matter how old you are. They've been criticized for swearing, but I enjoy their candid nature. It might take 3-4 episodes before you find yourself wondering what else there recorded. Sadly I'm all caught up and have to wait for new releases.
I highly recommend you start with their TRAIL TALES, listener submissions. 💜💙💚❤💛

Great Stories, Well Written

I found this podcast last fall and have finally made it through all their episodes. I love the variety of stories they tell, from survival, to murder, to accidents and more. National Parks have so many stories to them and it is great to be able to hear a variety of stories from parks all over the world. The hosts do a great job of researching the topics and presenting it in a clear logical way. I also like that they state their sources so I can add more books to my audible wish list.
