The Vinyl Cafe September 30th, 2012 "Wonders of the Wilderness"

From: Vinyl Cafe
Series: Vinyl Cafe
Length: 54:22

Today on the show, we are going to be talking about the wonders of the wilderness. Read the full description.

Stuart-smiling_small We have a story exchange about insects.  And how they can get under our skin, in the most unexpected of ways. We have a story about another family cottage  ­and about the people that owned it and about what they did with that cottage, or more importantly, the land on which the cottage sits. And, of course, we have a story about Dave. And what happened to him when he found a little sapling growing in the back of his car.
