The Hoogacha is a local cryptic legend and the name of the flagship of Northern Latitude Adventures based here in Seward, Alaska. That boat spawned the idea of naming Northern Latitude's future fleet of tour boats after local Alaskan mythological creatures. On today's special Halloween themed episode, we invite Captain Nick Gray, co-owner of the company, on the pod to discuss the legendary background to a number of cryptic beasts of Alaskan lore. What does it take to start a myth? How did a husky affect the history of the Enukin? And would you book an Alaskan cryptic beast sightseeing tour? It's the episode you'll have trouble pronouncing!
