    I remember experiencing skunk cabbage as a kid in West Virginia. It smells like astringent rotten vegetables? It's hard to describe. I'm just glad the the Japanese version didn't stink up your beautiful toxic bear lake hike lol

    The miscalculation of the PH levels is just heartbreaking. The engineers wanted just to improv things as it seems. But there wasn't as it seems a working fast cut off switch planned for the acidic water. Just tragic.

    Chuyến đi thấy rất nguy hiểm, khu vực có khí độc, bạn nên có thêm 1 người cùng đồng hành với bạn, chúc bạn 1 ngày an lành!

    Thank you for another fascinating episode.
    It's always heartbreaking to me to hear about such ecological disasters.

    Skunk cabbage and bears have a very interesting relationship. My goodness; they don't need any prunes! Yes, the birds are on the mic. They are lovely to hear.
