Wikisurfer 003 – Fiery Abandon

For episode 003, Brandon and Kyle surf through a coal fire in Centralia, Pennsylvania, the eruption of Mt. St. Helens, a list of very unusual ghost towns, the life and times of Harry R. Truman who died in the Mt. St. Helens eruption, stories from the California Gold Rush, the End-Permian Mass Extinction, and the Sandwich Islands.

It’s a nice episode. Take a listen and see just how many explosions we chucked in there.
