Discovering Cortez and Mesa Verde...Through Pokémon Go

Players of the immensely popular Pokémon Go app in Montezuma County have few places to use it, compared to people in areas that are more densely-populated. But they can still use the game to discover new places that they didn't know existed. KSJD's Austin Cope talked to Kayla Eiler, a Mesa Verde National Park resident and Pokémon Go enthusiast, about her experiences with the game in the park and surrounding areas.
 

Austin Cope is a former Morning Edition host for KSJD and now produces work on a freelance basis for the station. He grew up in Cortez and hosted a show on KSJD when he was 10 years old. After graduating from Montezuma-Cortez High School in 2010, he lived in Belgium, Ohio, Spain, northern Wyoming, and Himachal Pradesh, India before returning to the Cortez area. He has a degree in Politics from Oberlin College in Ohio.
