Welcome back to Wayward Stories! This week’s show was inspired by the many amazing guides and outfitters I spent 3 days hanging out with at the 2022 Ozark’s Outdoor Recreation Expo. If you are one of the many people for whom the planning and hassle that goes into getting out and exploring the world is something you simply don’t have the time or energy for, guided adventures might be the answer to your dilemma. You just pick out a window of time and let these great guides do the rest! Listen in tonight to hear about guided options for the White River, War Eagle Creek, the Buffalo River and the many hiking trails throughout the Ozarks! From side by sides to Johnboats, from hiking boots to fly rods, tonight’s show is full of ideas!

Welcome back to Wayward Stories, my spooky Wayward Souls! This week’s episode is getting a special early drop, so you guys can listen over your spooky holiday weekend! This week I tell some stories from my past about some really creepy encounters I’ve had while out exploring the world. I was legend tripping before legend tripping was cool 😂
Let me just say this: every story in this nearly 2 hour long episode really happened to me, and some of them…well, some of them just have no good and reasonable explanation. They are what they are, take it or leave it, believe it or not.
I hope you all enjoy, and have a good spooky weekend!

Welcome back to Wayward Stories! It’s time once again to embrace spooky season! This week we talk about a virtual cornucopia of road trip ideas that will get you out of the house and boots on the ground at some of America’s legendary haunts. Any reason for a road trip is a good one, but spooky reasons for a ghost trip? My favorite. If you like the mysterious and unexplained, this weeks show is for you!

Welcome back to Wayward Stories! This week we explore the concept of day trips based on my personal adventures this past Labor Day weekend. For those of us who really utilize our adventures as a therapeutic device to combat various anxiety disorders, the rising cost of gasoline (and everything else) fueled by super charged inflation has really put us in a bind. Day trips can be a great compromise that save money comparative to the longer-termed and further distant distant adventures and places we seek out, but still give us a little fix for our wanderlust and assuage the anxiety that can threaten our well-being.
Join us this week to explore the idea and maybe come away with a few of your own! Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to Wayward Stories!
This week we take a look at a recent hike I did in the Ouachita Mountains of SW Arkansas to a cave reportedly visited by the infamous outlaw Belle Starr. It’s more of a scramble than hike, but the cave itself is pretty incredible to check out. And for those of you who are more backcountry than bougie, more trekker than tourist, this is the hike for you! The Ouachita Range is far less popular than its more glamorous brother, the Ozarks, but that’s exactly what a lot of us wayward souls are looking for…
Join us tonight to learn all about it!

Welcome back to Wayward Stories! In this week’s episode, we combine an idea I’ve had on the back burner for awhile now, an episode about the art of the road trip, and an actual, impromptu, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants road-trip to good old Tejás last weekend. It was a great trip, and hopefully it will make for a good episode! Listen in to find out!

Welcome back to Wayward Stories! This week we dive into some tips and tricks to help lessen the squeeze of skyrocketing inflation and possibly give you some solid ideas to help keep you on the road! For many of us, our adventures are a key component of our anxiety relief strategies. I know from personal experience, as well as talking to some of our listeners, that the steep rise in prices is keeping us from our much needed wilderness therapy. Join us tonight for some ideas that might just help you to squeeze at least a couple of adventures into your budget this summer!
As always, thanks for listening!

This show is my passion project, born of a traumatic set of circumstances that jarred me from a sedentary life and an apocalyptic worldview. With my jarring wake up call came a clean slate...both in my physical world, but also my mental and emotional world. Wayward Stories is my humble attempt to add value to this world through sharing my story...my journey...with the intent of prompting others to take their lives back into their own hands. My goals are simple:
1- Demonstrate to others who have experienced trauma that good CAN exist on the other side of bad...so don't give up.
2- Offer proof-of-concept that an exciting life full of adventure and self-expansion can be had by the everyday Joe like me...with an everyday job, and everyday budget and an everyday life.
