Hey everyone, I have a quick favorite ask.

We are up for a signal award.

This is like a podcast awards thing.

And we're in the category of best commute podcast.

It would be really lovely if people wanted to go and vote for us in that category.

It is the signal awards and the category is best commute podcast.

If you went over there and voted for out with Subscara, I would be very grateful.

OK, onto the show.

What can I tell you about a place that you were never supposed to know existed?

I can tell you there was a lake high in the southern neural mountains of Russia.

I can tell you what it looks like on Google Maps, a small blue spot in the shape of a cursive V.

I can tell you that if you weren't looking for it, you'd skip right over it.

I can tell you you do not want to have a picnic on the shores of this lake.

I can tell you it's called Lake Carache.

I'm Dylan Therese and this is out of Subscara, a celebration of the world's strange, incredible, and wondrous places.

Today, I'm going to try and tell you about Lake Carache, a place where fact and fiction blur.

More after this.

The list of things I can't tell you about Lake Carache is much longer.

I don't know how to get there.

I don't know if any animals live nearby.

I don't know if there's a smell to the lake.

I don't know if the sun shines directly on it or it dapples through tree cover.
