My god, for many months the Busted Knees and Pretty Trees podcast has spoken to the sanctity of our national parks and have been afraid of the possibility of a person/people ripping it out from under our feet. This. Is. Bullshit.

These last few weeks have been rough for us at the Busted Knees and Pretty Trees podcast, and we expect the next many years will be just as tough, but it is on all of us to push forward and do what it takes to remain mentally.... good.
