    Welcome back to Wayward Stories!

    This week we take a weekend road trip back in time! Come along with me as we take a little journey down America’s Mother Road, Route 66 through Oklahoma’s beautiful Green Country. From kitschy road side attractions of a bygone era to thriving community gathering places revitalized in the spirit of the mother road, there’s a little bit of both the old and the new in this week’s episode!

  • Listener Submission - Epic Southwest Road Trip!

    Welcome back to Wayward Stories! 


    This week we’re going to explore some new territory and share a listener submitted itinerary for an epic road trip through our great American Southwest! This trip covered some 2,900 miles over 8 days, touched 7 states and no less than 5 National Parks amongst many other locales along the way! Listen in tonight as we go through her itinerary stop by stop and then style on it a little and get some ideas how we could take some of her stops and turn them into destination trips.

    This one is sure to be an adventure! Special thanks to J-Wats for sharing her adventure with the show!

  • Robber’s Cave State Park ~ Oklahoma

    Welcome back to Wayward Stories!

     

    After a dark week catalyzed by an egomaniacal geology professor with a penchant for sadism, we’re back with a brand new episode about one of Oklahoma’s best state parks! Robber’s Cave State Park is an area deep in the San Bòis Mountains of SE Oklahoma filled with tales of famous outlaws and the loot they buried….and your humble host has some personal experiences to share that might just validate some of those claims 😬😬😬

     

    Aside from the allure of buried treasure and legends of old, Robber’s Cave SP has a veritable smorgasbord of outdoor activities for you to enjoy! Camping, hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, climbing, repelling, horse riding….if you can name it, Robber’s Cave has it.

     

    Tune in tonight to hear all about it!

  • California Dreamin’ Vol. 2 - Santa Cruz Mountains

    Welcome back to Wayward Stories!

     

    This week we head back out to Cali to dream another dream. In this installment of the California  Dreamin’ series we explore some beautiful Santa Clara County Parks located in the redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains and take a little day trip east into Yosemite. It is true that things cost 4x as much in Cali…but I would counter that things are also 4x as beautiful in Cali. Break out your bucket list and get ready to take some notes. Waterfalls and Redwood forests await!

  • Devil’s Den State Park - Arkansas

    Welcome back to Wayward Stories!

     

    This week we spend the first half of the episode catching up on the archeological dig that necessitated dropping a classic episode last week, and talk about some new adventure ideas for you guys, like geocaching and a Native American museum to explore. In the second half, we talk about one of Arkansas’ best state parks, Devil’s Den. Devil’s Den has beautiful hikes, swimming, fishing, photography opportunities and first class mountain bike trails! Listen in tonight to learn about all it has to offer, and hear some of my own tales of exploring Devil’s Den over the years.

  • CLASSIC: Exploring Central Colorado

    Welcome back to Wayward Stories!

     

    Rather than have a couple of dark weeks due to an exciting opportunity I must seize upon, I’ve chose to drop another classic episode.  Listen y’all…this weekend I get to go do archeology! Lifelong dream!


    But I promise you, for all of you who haven’t listened to the entire back catalogue…you WILL enjoy this classic. IMO it’s possibly the very best early episode I produced, and it is chock-full of interesting tales of exploring abandoned gold and silver mines and Colorado’s best preserved ghost town.

     

    I hope you will all forgive me for not having the time to drop a fresh show, and I thank you all for your understanding…did I mention I’m going to do ARCHEOLOGY????

  • Route 66 - St. James, MO. to Springfield

    Welcome back to Wayward Stories! 


    After spending the last week maligned with Satan’s head cold, aka Covid-19, our Memorial Day weekend was looking pretty bleak. But with a slight upturn in health, and the reality of a 3 day weekend being wasted a real possibility …decisions were made. Roadtrips were had. And Missouri’s section of historic Route 66 was discovered. In addition to exploring several dozen miles of original 66 and Ha Ha Tonka State Park, much fun was had and at least some amount of Covid was overcome. 


    Join me this week to hear all about our adventure!

  • Duckies, Yuppies & Camper Van Quandaries

    Welcome back to Wayward Stories!  In this week’s show we kind of meander about a bit. Much like my adventures, I just go where the road takes me!  This time around we take a look at a recent trend that’s highly detrimental to the natural beauty of the Buffalo River, fake people, and my thoughts as we start to explore the world of van life!  I hope you’ll listen in tonight, and feel free to weigh in yourself!  I’d love your feedback on several of tonight’s topics!
