As I look at myself, parts of my reflection start to change.

Darker lines start to appear on my face and my reflection.

It's not my reflection.

My eyes focus on the glass, on the fog.

It's the fog on the glass.

The lines are cutting through the fog and forming letters.

It's as if 20 fingers are all touching the glass at the same time, all wiping letters out of the

foggy window.

I step back and gasp as I realize what's happening.

I stumble and fall backwards.

The lantern breaks and the light goes out.

The ground starts to shake. My mind is a blur. My ears start to ring.

The light shines on the window and I can clearly see and read the words, we're still here.

This is the Exploring the National Parks podcast with Dirt in My Shoes.

My name is Ash and I'm a former park ranger and the founder of Dirt in My Shoes.

I think that the parks are best seen from the trail and I'm here to make National Park

Trip Planning easy.

And I'm John.

I carry the kids on the trails, tell stories, and notice all the things that Ash doesn't care about much, like trees.

Join us as we show you around America's spectacular national parks.

We're sharing our favorite places, fun facts, adventures, and misadventures.

And we'll even throw in a little trip planning.
