Grab a headlamp and some clothes you don't mind getting dirty; we're going Caving at Groaning Cave in Colorado's White River National Forest!

Watch out for the slide rock bolters that like to hang out on mountaintops and make sure to listen for the sound of Tommyknockers warning us about cave ins. Today's park program can be dangerous if we're not careful!

We'll also cover some Leave No Trace Principals that are important to use, no matter where you are on public land!

Today’s park admission was paid for by David Holper, with his poem, Seven Silences narrated by himself.

David Holper has published three collections of poetry, Language Lessons: A Linguistic Hejira (Deeper Magic Press) The Bridge (Sequoia Song Publications) and 64 Questions (March Street Press). He lives in Eureka, California, where he served as the City of Eureka’s inaugural poet laureate from August 2019-August 2021. His website is https://www.davidholper.com

If you have written flash fiction, poetry about nature, conservation, magic, or the supernatural, or if you just have a long, rambling list of thoughts about the natural world you would like to share, please send it in written or audio form along with a short bio of yourself to thesupernaturalpark@gmail.com

The music intro used in the show was created by John Kingsley. You can find more of his work at theberevet.com.
