Ever wondered if Vikings could have made their way up the Mississippi River into Oklahoma? Join me on this week's Natural Medic Adventures as I explore the mysterious Heavner Rune Stone Park, where fascinating Viking runestones have been discovered. I'll take you on a tour of the park, including a visit to the seasonal waterfall and the intriguing runestone itself, protected in a glass enclosure.

Listen in as I discuss the captivating history of these Viking artifacts, and insights from Gloria Stuart Farley, who studied the runestones for over 40 years. You'll also hear about the translation of the runes by Dr. Richard Nielsen from the University of Denmark, and the recent conversion of the park from a state park to a city park, complete with overnight camping options through Hipcamp. Don't miss this unique and enthralling episode as we uncover the mysteries of Heavner Rune Stone Park!
