In tonight’s show we pick back up on a little “series within a series” I started a couple of years ago entitled “Exploring the Wild, Wild West.” We previously explored Coffeyville and Dodge City, KS as well as the Santa Fe Trail. In tonight’s episode, we’re going to explore one of the very earliest Wild West towns in America…Fort Smith, Arkansas, home to “Hell on the Border” - one of the nastiest jails ever to house a baddie. We also happen to be the only place I’ve ever heard of that someone brought a cannon to a fist fight…so if you enjoy a road trip to a place with a long and colorful history, a weekend adventure to Fort Smith might be right up your alley!

Luckily for me, this is an easy episode…as I am currently a park ranger at Fort Smith National Historic Site…and tonight’s episode is sort of just another day at work!

I hope you’ll join me tonight to hear all about it!

In tonight’s show, we’re going to talk about long-lived pieces of gear in our kit and the role they can play in the story-arc of our lives. As I prepare to retire a backpack that has accompanied me across tens of thousands of miles or roads, rivers, and wildernesses, it only seems fitting to look back on the adventures it enabled me to take. And as is our custom here at Wayward Stories, we shall wax philosophical about archetypes, story-arcs, and the paths we take in following our personal journeys!

I hope you’ll join me tonight to hear all about it!

Tonight we’re taking a deep dive into the biggest road trip I’ve ever made in my life. It is that time of year again, with Thanksgiving and my birthday upon us, but this year there’s a wild card in the mix…. my commencement and the conferral of my degree in Manchester New Hampshire.

We’re going to explore Salem, Boston, Lexington, Concord, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Kittery, ME, the Mohawk River Valley, the Catskill Mountains, and oh so much more! Also there’s a big announcement in tonight’s show as well…

I hope you’ll join me tonight to hear all about it!
