“This is my first time in interior Alaska and it’s just phenomenal. It won’t be my last time, that’s for sure.” - Andrew Aughenbaugh   I met Augie, in a very hilarious way… By being stuck in a ditch in the largest National Park in the country.    I cannot begin to capture the relief I felt when this big truck with a towing rig right on front and Maryland plates, pulled up to my rescue.    Augie had been on the road for three months, driving all the way from Maryland to Alaska, tent camping every night.   I was shocked when he told me that.    He has biked, canoed, hunted, camped, explored, fished and adventured his way all across Canada and Alaska, and he wasn’t finished yet.   About 7 minutes in, Angie talks about what he brought with him on his 3 month trek and he’s agreed to share his contact info with you so that you could reach out to him with any adventure or gear related questions, seeing as he is WAY more experienced with the rugged adventuring than I. You can reach him on his website: AugiesAdventures.com     He also reached out to me just a couple of months ago and told me about a book he’d just released about his adventures. You can find it on Amazon by searching Following The River's Current   At the end of this interview, after the outro, I included a little treat. Apparently I was recording a bit about the bumpy road when I was run off the road by an RV and ended up in that ditch… it seemed pretty relevant and it cracks me up every time I hear it, so I put that short audio at the end.   Anyway, I hope you enjoy this interview with my Wrangell rescuer, Augie.   Let’s jump in!    Want to follow Summer’s journey?  Join Nat Park Stories on Facebook or Instagram!

The Captains are joined by fan and friend Lucas to review a failed pilot starring #davidhasselhoff. Marvel’s own #nickfury #agentofshield. This 1998 pilot never made it to series and we are going to tell you why, but we will have some fun along the way. Come fly with us and subscribe!

Spring is in the air, and so is that “new car smell” air freshener you bought at the local auto parts store.

Don’t worry, we’re not judging you.

As soon as the nice weather arrives, most of us start thinking about cleaning our rides and washing off all of that caked-on winter salt and road grime. For those of us with hobby vehicles that never see such harsh conditions, we eagerly bust them out of their automotive cocoons to begin the seasonal preparations for the upcoming show season.

But before you pick up a bottle of Nu-Finish and drag out the orbital buffer you got for Christmas ’96, may we suggest you listen to this episode since it deals with the extremely important topic of automotive detailing. Don’t take our advice, we’re not the experts in making anything look good.

That’s where Matt Carter and Nick Whitaker come in.

Matt and Nick run Detail Peoria, an automotive detailing business that offers quality services for discerning motorists who want their cars and trucks to look better-than-new. Since their incredible work is visible on some fine vehicles at the local Cars & Coffee and around town, Eric and Daryl decided to pack up the gear and head up to North Peoria to do a show in the Detail Peoria wash bay!

About This Week’s Guests

Nick Whitaker and Matt Carter started this passion project a few years ago and have watched it grow. And grow.  And grow some more. Now they’re proud to say they’ve moved to a brand new location and expanded to meet growing customer demand.  Matt was kind enough to stick around after-hours on a busy weeknight to do some podcasting, and give us a tour of the new facility.

Here’s a brief video from their YouTube channel that offers an overview of their services.



In this episode of Throwin’ Wrenches, we get to know a little more about the art of auto detailing, and learned some fascinating tips. Matt also shared some common mistakes folks make when detailing at home, and answers the age-old question: Should you ever go to an automatic car wash?

We hope you enjoy our interview with Matt Carter, and we’d like to extend a heart-felt thank-you to him and Nick Whitaker for letting us drop by and talk shop.

Episode Highlights

Projects

* Eric shifts his summer plans into 4 wheel drive yet again for another trip to the Badlands ORV Park in Attica, Indiana, then he’s off to the Great Smoky Mountain Trail Ride with the Toyota Land Cruiser Association in May. He may even make it back to Ouray, Colorado for more wheelin’ later this summer.

* Daryl is stockpiling cleaning supplies to get his fleet ready for spring. He also scored a few cases of Mobil 1 synthetic oil for cheap thanks to a sale at Costco, which also sells cheap hot dogs and liquor. Honestly, is there a better place on the planet than Costco?
