What this episode covers

You guys answered our call, and this week we have 3 (kinda) news stories that were sent in by listeners! First, a rogue researcher doing interesting work in the Chesapeake Bay. Then, we look at ancient lava tubes in Saudi Arabia and how they were utilized by ancient people. And finally, a follow up to the Castle A fire at Montezuma's Castle!
