Hello, everyone. Welcome back to National Park After Dark. This is our Trail Tales episode where

all of you write into us and tell us your stories out on the trails or wherever. And we're

really excited because we have some good ones today. Yeah, I think you should go first.

Set the tone. Like, let's just really set the tone.

I'm here for it. I am happy to go first because mine is titled, Water where the sun should never

shine. Depeatable. I just think of nudists and I'm like, hmm. It says water should never shine.

Oh, right, right. Let's just find out what this is

hi cassie and Danielle first of all I love your podcast you guys keep me company on long

car rides trips to the gym and even long office work hours thank you for all the work you put

in and for sharing everyone's trail tales. They are my favorite to listen to.

I'm slowly listening to all of your trail tale episodes and I just heard the call for

embarrassing stories, better late than never, right?

Sure is.

Tell us your embarrassing stories.

I'm begging you.

And I did put a little like asterisk at the end after like the third or fourth round of asking for them. I'm like, please. Tell us something that's embarrassing that doesn't involve poop. And people have a really hard time with that because poop is the most embarrassing, arguably. But we'll find out.

My story comes from two and a half years ago in a little lake in West Michigan. One of my

best friends, let's call her Sadie, suggested that my boyfriend, Gavin, now husband, and I come

up to her cottage for a boating and tubing day with her and her boyfriend, who's now her husband.

Let's call him Carter. Sadie's

dad, let's call him Mike. A lot of name changes here. This must be embarrassing. I know.

They must protect identities at all costs. Like witness protection for this story. Right off the bat.
