Episode Synopsis


In the early 1900s, a man from eastern Tennessee brought an apple to Montezuma County called the Thunderbolt, and the apple became common in southwest Colorado's flourishing orchard economy. A century later, the Thunderbolt had all but vanished.
This is the story of two apple detectives who go looking for a rare apple, and how that search altered the course of their lives.
