TW: Recreational Drug Use. Possible Heat Stroke. Sex Mentions.

Our intrepid adventures make it to the southwest just in time to catch the last bit of the

Jordan and Imari take a scalding dip into the wild nostalgia of Jordan’s childhood of being raised by literal circus people. You will learn about how time means nothing when you are being boiled alive by the desert sun, what the hell is a “Shit rippin’ piss winder,” and will Jordan ever live down the embarrassment of being the worst niece who ever existed. All this and a fever dream, this episode of Rambler.

TW/CWs: Sex Mentions, Recreation Drug Usage, Dangerous Tomfoolery

Utah, home of the Mormons, and Twilight Zone-like nexus of weird.  Imari and Jordan travel down from Oregon to the South West, and things go array. Zombies are discovered, and our adventure try to decide if Mari even likes the guy she's dating and swap a few outdoor sex stories.

WE HAVE RETURNED!

After a lengthy break over the holidays and into the New Year the dynamic duo returns with a "leggings fit," episode. We've both gone through huge transitions in rather short periods of time so we apologize for the long wait!

With stories from the Pacific North West and theme music from a friend who dwells there we enter the New Year with some old stories and new travel plans!

This is a very PRO-BIPOC podcast. This is an Anti-Colonial look at the land from the perspective of two Black girls who just so happened to spot each other in class a few years ago. We’ll give you tips and tell you stories of the land, it's people and why that matters.

What's Going On Here?

"As some of you close to me may know, I recently embarked on a month-long road trip with close friend{Jordan}. Originally this project was pitched to me a year ago with the intention of traveling out west, camping in National Parks, hiking wherever we could, and stopping along the way to interview folks for a storytelling podcast. It has since turned into a conglomeration of rambling, of hiking tips, of what it’s like to be two queer-identifying black folk out in the middle of the woods, and the history of places we’ve visited. We don’t know what we’re doing, we’re still working on a format, and we’re fucking it up along the way but if you could give us some support that’d be much appreciated."

Our first BIG episode! We have camping tips, historical rants, and more National Park fangirling.

Names of things, campers, and the uphill battle against South Dakota itself.

After blasting through the vast plains between Milwaukee and the Badlands, the adventure fully begins. Will our heroes ever admit fault, for being completely at fault about that campsite (you'll know the one)? Do we give up and return home?

Not. a. got. damn. chance. We die like men and stake down our tent, then we rant.

Have you ever considered car maintenance on the road while you travel? Firewood, it stacks up. And so much more.

Some notes: 

We suggest lowering the volume around minute 1:35, there is a noticeable sound jump. Yes, one day I will learn how to fix that but unfortunately, it wasn't in time for today.

Jordan and Imari are not sure what they are doing, but they also weren't sure where they were going when they loaded up the Dusty Pony and took off west.

We're here to tell you about our adventures on the land and hopefully our tips can be helpful to other future travelers.
