Life Out There ·

2026/01/26

It's been weeks... The loss fades... and Time Marches on... As anyone that knows me will tell you... music... and song... have always been a big part of my life. No matter the mood... the situation... No matter where I find myself in life... I can fall into music... The first three notes of a song can take you back... to help stiffen your resolve... to remind you... That life is... good. I think it was the Irish in my grandfather that compelled him to remind me many times... That "Any day above

Day 712. April 17, 2021. A Walk Downriver

2026/01/19

Spring on the western slope doesn’t arrive with much fanfare...it doesn’t announce itself in a flurry of blooms and bursts of color... It just… loosens. The air gets softer. The mornings lighten a little earlier. The cold starts stepping back, one degree at a time.By April, we’d settled into a rhythm with Rangely. I knew which mornings belonged to the wind. I knew when the snowplows would rumble through town. I knew which patches of ice tried to trick me. And I knew the shape of each day walking

January in Rangely has a way of resetting you. Maybe it’s the cold. Maybe it’s the quiet. Maybe it’s the feeling that the rest of the world is spinning out somewhere far away while this little town just keeps doing...Rangely.I was still trying to make sense of everything that had happened over the past year… and then January 6th happened. The Capitol. The chaos. The insurrection... The shock that wasn’t really shock because of who we were dealing with. I had already recorded the episode about it,

This wasn’t part of the plan. It wasn’t supposed to happen. Or was it? A few times in each generation… we get up… turn on the news… and everything changes. I have lived through one of these moments in history. September 11, 2001. Today would be my second. What have we become? And how did one man drag a nation this far?Connect with the podcast on our website… ⁠LifeOutThere.me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast written and recorded by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.Logo’s

2025/12/29

We awoke to a 20 degree morning in Meeker... so things had actually warmed a bit since our arrival the night before. We took our time this morning...pulling out of Meeker mid day. Just 50 miles separated us from Rangely.... but with nothing but quarantine to greet us there... there was no hurry. We stopped along the way to check out the December scenery on the Western Slope. We’d pull into Rangely late afternoon. Snow... everywhere. Skies darkening...and temps dropping again....rapidly. The kind of

Man... almost hard to believe we made it... over 450 miles from Burlington... to Meeker...i n the midst of a Colorado winter... and in one day!And when I say winter, I mean full-on, snow-everywhere, a 9-degree morning, no-question-about-it winter.The further we drove...it became more and more clear that winter had more than set in here.... but with a break in the weather.... felt like we had to make a break for it...at least get over those Rockies...and vail pass before looking for a spot to crash

2025/12/15

Our next stop would be less “discovery”… and more “port in the storm.”We’d come rolling in from Kansas on I-70… weather reports blaring… and honestly, we didn’t even need those. The road itself was saying it. Whispering… then shouting… find shelter. Find warmth. Find a place to stop this big metal box before Mother Nature really decides to test our commitment to the road.By the time we hit Burlington... just 170 miles from Hayes Kansas, the skies were already bruising over. Temperatures dropping

2025/12/08

Our next set of discoveries would come a few hundred miles up the road from Platte City… in a place called Hays, Kansas.Once again, we found ourselves driving into an endless horizon. This one belonged to the Kansas prairie. The scenery around us in constant change — fall… to winter… then back again — but somehow, the faint scent of harvest still lingered in the air.We pushed west, leaving behind Platte City, Missouri. The landscape morphing slowly but surely as you cross into Kansas. The grasslands

Day 583. December 09, 2020. Platte City Missouri

Life Out There ·

2025/12/01

The drive into Platte City from St. Joseph is a slow one... a short one... just 30 miles or so. The rolling hills of northwest Missouri stretched out in front of us, the landscape framed by tall trees and farmland. It’s late fall, or maybe early winter, depending on how you want to look at it. The temperature fluctuates from one day to the next, and the golden hues of autumn are barely holding on. The occasional gust of wind sends the last of the dry leaves scattering across the road.You’re not

Day 537. October 24, 2020. Western Nebraska

Life Out There ·

2025/11/17

A twist of fate landed us in a quaint Nebraska village named Western. It’s small-town America at its finest. We pulled into town with the singular objective of finding a spot to plug in so we could ride out an incoming cold front that threatened to bring a few inches of snow with it. Little did I know we would not leave Western for nearly 2 months!Full transcript available on Substack and YouTube video versions of podcast.Connect with the podcast on our website…

2025/11/10

Made the 98 miles drive from Craig Missouri to Lincoln Nebraska in good time. We found a subdued Lincoln... the pandemic takes a much larger toll on larger cities than it has in the small towns we've spent the last several months in. We spent 3 days in Lincoln... working and learning about this part of Nebraska and beyond. A typical midwestern cold snap chased us out of Lincoln a little ahead of schedule... and on with the adventure.Connect with the podcast on our website…

Our last night in Honey Creek saw Thunder storms moving in. And one of those late night light shows that make you wanna just watch. Things seemed to be clearing up as we headed out the following day.Our zig-zagging around the heartland would take a turn south when I spotted a sign stating that we were some 60 miles from... and yep....another…Craig.This one in Missouri, some 60 miles from the Iowa border and 90 miles north of Kansas City.The rolling hills of Iowa's Loess region quickly gave way to

In true Vacilando fashion… todays drive would involve some backtracking. Around 40 miles from Tekamah Nebraska...across that Missouri River and back into Iowa.The road twisted through the Loess Hills of Iowa, a landscape so unique it exists in only a few places on Earth.I couldn't wait to learn more about this truly unique find. I was also looking forward to a couple of weeks of working on a family farm… here in the heart of America’s midwest.Connect with the podcast on our website…

Day 511. September 28, 2020. Tekamah Nebraska

Life Out There ·

2025/10/20

The drive from Craig to Tekamah... short. Just 9 miles. But the two-lane Highway 75 stretching between the two wastes no time retelling the story of this part of the country.It cuts through fields that seem to roll on endlessly... this time of year, a patchwork of light green, gold, and brown. Cornfields standing tall but dry. Soybeans crisping under the autumn sun.Farmhouses sit back from the road... some with towering silos... others with barns painted in shades of red that have long since faded

Yep… We found another Craig! This time, just 20 miles from our time spent in Decatur Nebraska. A couple of hours spent along side the deserted streets of Nebraska’s version of Craig.

Another perfect example of small town America… and all that comes with it.

We pulled out of Akron Midday heading off towards Iowa's Great Lakes. A place I'd only just learned about a couple days ago from a fellow camper here in Akron.

Then another few miles up the road it would happen again… A road sign, a water tower, even a high tech feed truck… all bearing my name… Craig!
