The Cursed Website! A TRUE STORY!

Yeah, well, this story involves yours truly, podcast host, and this website.

We were moving the site to another host with more capacity and in the process, SOMEBODY (HINT: HE’S TYPING THIS POST RIGHT NOW) hit the wrong button and deleted everything on the MountainLore site!

No problem, you say, just use the backup.

Hmmm. Seems the backup since redesigning the site was deleted, too, and there was no other.

Oops.

We are getting everything back and hope to have most of the back episodes up soon, and will move forward with new ones. In the meantime, you can go to our Spreaker page here and listen to our entire podcast library in the meantime!

Now, let’s get back to work…
