Don't sleep on the Corhusker State! Though Laken and Chance may not be big fans of their home state's western neighbor, they set their distain aside to take us on a Great Plains adventure (kind of). This week Chance will detail the tragic tale of the Schoolhouse Blizzard of 1888 and Laken recounts the story of the Witch's Bridge and ponders a possible curse.
