In this week's episode we head to New River Gorge National Park, the newest National Park in America. At face value, this new and beautiful park is full of fun activities and beautiful landscapes. But, if you dive deeper and really take a look at the smaller, less known areas, there are very dark stories that reside here. Red Ash Island, a place many visitors pass by without a second thought, lies a graveyard of over 200 people and their stories. This week we're taking a fresh look at forgotten ruins and travel back in time to learn about what they once were.
