Utah Places and Traces

Today Isaac is riding solo again and talking about all there is to know about Antelope Island just northwest of Salt Lake City! Go ahead and check it out this fall season and let us know what you think!

Today we discuss the history of Utah's historic Hogle Zoo. A hot spot for family fun days, Hogle Zoo has a not-so-glamorous history interlined with some humorous incidents and escapes; also some not so humorous. Though the ethics of zoos can be controversial, we dive into some of the amazing things Hogle Zoo is doing today to better the lives of the animals and work towards a better future.

Casey, Jake, and Isaac discuss the most underrated (in their opinion) national park in Utah; Capitol Reef. Isolated and rugged, this national park has an interesting human history along with some of the most stunning southwest landscapes around. Pull up your salad of greasewood greens and locally grown apple cider and get ready to educate yourself before you drive through!

A fun evening of cave exploring goes horribly wrong when young medical student, John Jones, becomes stuck in an uncharted area of Nutty Putty cave for over 24 hours. Listen as we tell the riveting story of Jones' incredible endurance and heart along with some significant Utah caving history.

In this episode, Jake, Casey, and Isaac reminisce about a childhood playground: Thanksgiving Point, the mega-museum along I-15. There is more than meets the eye to the water tower kingdom, so dig in and learn a little more about the fanciest non-profit we've ever paid money to!
