Great Basin National Park is Nevada's only national park entirely within the state — and one of the least-visited parks in the system. This week we're exploring it top to bottom: the 90-minute Grand Palace Tour inside Lehman Caves (the trip highlight, including the moment the ranger killed the lights), the Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive, 4,900-year-old bristlecone pines, and a night sky packed with thousands of stars.We also head out beyond the park boundary: a ghost town called Osceola that got away from us down a gravel road, the Million Dollar Courthouse in Pioche. Plus where to stay, where to eat in tiny Baker, and the case for going before everyone else figures this place out.______If you're enjoying the show, hit follow right now — it takes two seconds and it's how we keep making it.

There are five places on Earth with the most 100-year-olds — Sardinia, Okinawa, Ikaria, Nicoya, and Loma Linda, California. They're called Blue Zones, and this week we're breaking down what the people there actually do differently, from ikigai and moai to hara hachi bu, and whether the science behind Dan Buettner's famous longevity research really holds up.Then the uncomfortable question: can a city engineer its own Blue Zone? We look at Singapore, the Minnesota town that tried, and the five cities doing the exact opposite — including our own hometown at number one.Plus the destinations where you can sample the Blue Zone lifestyle yourself, from San Luis Obispo to Copenhagen.______If you're enjoying the show, hit follow right now — it takes two seconds and it's how we keep making it.

What do a 3,000-year-old Egyptian temple, the London Bridge, a 200-foot lighthouse, and an entire Swedish mining town have in common? They were all picked up and moved.This week, Jeremy and Amy dig into the true stories behind history's most audacious relocations: how UNESCO cut Abu Simbel into massive blocks and rebuilt it on higher ground to escape the flooding of the Aswan Dam; how the London Bridge ended up spanning a channel in Lake Havasu City, Arizona; how engineers moved the 4,800-ton Cape Hatteras Lighthouse 2,900 feet inland to save it from the sea; and how Kiruna, Sweden is in the middle of a decades-long move — church, homes and all — because the ground beneath it is literally collapsing.____________________________________S04 Ep178____________________________________Connect with us on social media: Instagram: @unscaledtravelshowTwitter: @fullmetaltravlrFacebook: @fullmetaltravelerWebsite: ⁠⁠https://www.unscaledtravelshow.com/
