Wayward Stories ·

2023/02/22

Welcome back to Wayward Stories! This week we’re trying on a new pair of boots…we’re bringing back one of our earliest episodes as a “classic”. This episode looks back on a night I spent on the face of Big Bluff overlooking the Buffalo National River, chasing after an elusive Long exposure of the Milky Way. Not only did I get that picture, but also front row seats to a raccoon cage match, a feral hog invasion and lots of other treats courtesy of the Ozark Mountains. This is something I haven’t

Petit Jean State Park ~ Arkansas

Wayward Stories ·

2023/01/11

Welcome back to Wayward Stories! This week we explore one of, what is in my opinion, Arkansas’ best state parks.

We also talk at length about getting our children engaged and involved with the great outdoors, as well as Petit Jean’s impressive collection of Mississippian-era indigenous rock art.

Labor Day Trippin’

Wayward Stories ·

2022/09/06

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

Exploring Belle Starr Cave

Wayward Stories ·

2022/08/23

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

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! See more at www.waywardstories.com Thanks for Listening!

Paddling War Eagle Creek

Wayward Stories ·

2022/07/13

Welcome back to Wayward Stories! This week we explore a hidden gem of paddling in the Ozarks! War Eagle Creek is known mostly for passing through the famous water wheel at War Eagle Mill, but not a lot of folks know that it’s an absolutely prime creek for a backcountry excursion in the Arkansas Ozarks. The smallmouth fishing is prime, the water cool and clear, and the best part? You won’t see many other people on your adventure. Join us this week and hear about my trip down War

The Buffalo River Experience

Welcome back to Wayward Stories! This week’s episode is, at its heart, my love letter to the Buffalo River. 2022 marks the 50 year anniversary of this incredible sacred place being protected and preserved by our National Park Service. Perhaps you were unaware, but this magnificent piece of American wilderness nearly became a lake before conservationists and activists alike helped to secure its protected status.
