So, I've been catching up on some of the newer material, and this is the one that finally made me a Patron! I've been hearing stories of the Muck Dam since I was a child, and you guys absolutely nailed it! Here's hoping there's more in store for "Palmer".
Polly is the railroad woman...oh my 😱

I feel ya'z payne loly!
Happy Holidays from Montreal btw 💙 I hope you get to parts of Appalachia in Quebec too ! In Gaspésie, you can find "The End of the World" trail. I always feel it is so fitting with OGoA ! One of the most beautiful, natural space I have ever seen. Green. Everywhere.
Absolutely love the spin on colonialism and the link with Those Beneath Us ! OGoA is def my new religion.

This was chillingly timely, given what happened in Edwardsville, IL.
