Outlaw Loot & Spanish Gold: Hiking the Wichita Mountains
Tuesday Mar 29, 2022
Tuesday Mar 29, 2022
Hey guys, welcome back to Wayward Stories!
This week we talk about an ancient mountain range deep in SW Oklahoma filled with mysterious tales of Spanish miners, notorious outlaws…and, more to the point…hiking gold. The Kiamichi Mountain range is a true wilderness area, preserved as a game reserve for American Buffalo, Elk, deer and many more native species. It is truly rugged backcountry, filled with ancient granite peaks, slot canyons, boulder gardens and even a waterfall. Listen in tonight as I tell the tales of outlaw loot, Spanish gold and my most recent adventure that found me unexpectedly spending the night in my hammock deep in the mountains.

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.
