On this episode of The Ric and Dan Show, Dan (and Ric) bring along James and Kenya Hopkins of Acadia Wilderness Lodge to talk about yurts, meeting the parents, and a Hallmark movie called The Valley of Death. Everything Ric knows about the guests he learnt from Dan, and from that he sees the Hopkins as the closest thing to a rom-com in the real world. Little did he expect that it would come with a side of drama! Kenya discusses the iconic yurts at the Wilderness Lodge, and James sheds some light on how they became so modernized. Each yurt has a name rooted in indigenous culture, a connection to nature, and the story of a tooth-and-nail legal battle behind it. It's a complex web of regulations, negotiations, street signs, city halls, and even the Declaration of Independence! We wouldn't dare to tell you any more about it: you'll just have to listen for yourself!
