Life Out There

Over the past several weeks... maybe the realization had been setting in gradually. From the insurance company, to towing companies, mobile mechanics, countless repair shops and even specialty repair shops like semi repair and even a couple of folks that claimed a focus on RV engine repair. It was also interesting to learn that many shops out there that claim to specialize in RV repair... actually specify in the fine print that their services were available for every part of an RV... except the engine.And while that realization may have begun to set in almost immediately... I guess I just needed to hear the same thing literally dozens of times... in dozens of different ways.The call that would finally end my desire to dial another business... came at the end of a conversation with a mobile mechanic I’d tracked down after exhausting what felt like every traditional option Salt Lake City had to offer. I figured a mobile mechanic might be different. He lived here. He worked here. Even if the job was more than he could handle alone... and on the curbside of a city park... surely he knew people. Surely he could point me somewhere useful.Instead I got...“It’s not worth fixing.”“Just throw it away and get another one.”I’d heard that before. Too many times. But this guy delivered it with a particular kind of dismissiveness that landed differently. Like the answer was obvious. Like I was wasting his time by not already knowing it.But still... I took a breath and asked if he knew of anyone else I might call…Connect with the podcast on our website… ⁠https://LifeOutThere.me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast written and recorded by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.Full Transcripts available on YT channel and our SubstackLogo’s designed and owned by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.

Four weeks parked alongside this park in Salt Lake City.Seems like yesterday a cloud of smoke rolled out of Vacilando’s exhaust and we coasted gently into this exact spot. At the time it felt mechanical. An event. An inconvenience.After that walk to the convenience store... we’d get to business...Pop the hood. Make some calls. Handle it.Get it done... figure out the plan....But Now?It’s starting to feel like maybe it’s not just mechanical.Time’s doing something strange. The days feel slow. Predictable. Calm even. And yet somehow… a full month has passed.The first few hours after we stopped... well that’s kind of a blur now...Immediately figured out that a spot in an RV park was now out of the question. No RV park I’m aware of would allow us to tow a broken down RV into one of their “short term” spots.Next up... Call insurance.Call roadside assistance.Ask about options.And the life lessons began immediately...I’d apparently spent the last two years in a false reality... I thought... something bad happens you call your insurance company... that’s what it’s for... Right?Turns out… it depends…Connect with the podcast on our website… ⁠https://LifeOutThere.me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast written and recorded by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.Full Transcripts available on YT channel and our SubstackLogo’s designed and owned by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.

We left Saratoga Springs convinced the worst was behind us.The quick trek to Salt Lake City was short...One last stretch before we could relax... explore... learn.And at first... it was working... felt like we’d settled back into our groove... Billie and I. Before leaving Saratoga Springs... I’d spent some time online looking for an RV park in Salt Lake City... odd how few RV parks there are in these areas. Salt Lake City at least had a few. I’d made some calls but wasn’t getting any answers... it’s weird how this pandemic continues to pop up and get in the way of normal life out here in the world. Offices don’t answer phones during a pandemic, I guess.But one thing I’d found that was intriguing is that the Utah State Fairpark... home to the Utah State Fair... was located right the city. Their website didn’t mention any RV parking opportunity... but I thought worth a quick look before heading a few blocks over to the Salt Lake City KOA.The engine stayed cool... The gauges behaved.But as we neared the fairgrounds... I noticed a slight uptick in the engine temps. Nothing dramatic... Just enough to make me question things…Connect with the podcast on our website… ⁠https://LifeOutThere.me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast written and recorded by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.Full Transcripts available on YT channel and our SubstackLogo’s designed and owned by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.

It’s Day 804. It’s also July 18th 2021. Well.... we almost made it...Back to that beautiful Saturday morning...Cruisin up the freeway... windows cracked... enjoying the scenery along 1-15 north with Salt Lake City in our sites.It was all so ... familiar....

Movin again... and it feels good. It feels familiar. That sense of wonder… exhilaration even... that comes over me when the road opens up in front of us... with few signs of civilization. If ya strip out the power lines ticking by alongside us... and those reflective centerlines rolling up underneath... and then out behind us.... any other traces of civilization are rare. And that’s when it’s the best...If your headed west... out of Rangely... your options are few... if your relegated to asphalt, which sadly... we are.... Which explains why we’d become so familiar with Dinosaur Colorado... And Vernal Utah. This would mark our 5th pass through the area in just the last two years... including the familiar stop at the Walmart in Vernal to gas up... and stock up on supplies.But this time... Vernal... is where the familiarity would end. We’d gone north from here... we’d gone west from here... so this time... we’d head southwest... and into a landscape we hadn’t seen before.Over the next couple hundred miles... the scenery would shift. We’d put those rugged, wide open Mountains of Colorado’s high desert... and oil fields in the rearview... and back into Utah’s Uinta Mountains... initially things felt the same. But then... a shift.We began a slow climb into Provo Canyon... and around nearly every bend... mother nature continues the shape shifting. The peaks of the mountains got sharper.... higher.... before we knew it the browns... and reds of the Uinta basin had transformed into sudden bursts of green.As the road began to narrow... squeezed in between mountains that felt straight out of the Pacific Northwest... The air cools just enough to notice. Trees start showing up where they weren’t invited before. Cottonwoods first. Then evergreens. The kind of green you don’t see in desert places... as if the land was coming back to life....Suddenly there’s water everywhere.The Provo River runs alongside the road, cutting its way down out of the Wasatch Mountains. You can hear it before you really see it, rushing and tumbling, a constant reminder that this place is shaped by flow, not force. Snowmelt turned into movement.Then...as if mother nature needed to put a big ‘ol exclamation point on it all...we’d come upon Bridal Veil Falls.Water spilling straight off limestone cliffs, fed by the Provo River system, breaking into mist before it ever reaches the canyon floor. It’s not subtle. It doesn’t hide. It just announces itself. After hundreds of miles of dry ground and muted color, that burst of white water and deep green feels almost unreal. As if the landscape just decided to...show off a bit.That canyon feels like a threshold. On one side, the wide, hard worked basin. On the other, a world shaped by water and elevation.As you come out of the canyon and into Utah Valley, the river widens, slows, and eventually feeds into Utah Lake. The same water that came screaming down the canyon spreads out and settles. Utah Lake itself is broad and shallow, fed by the Provo River along with the Spanish Fork River and American Fork River. In July, it sits heavy and reflective under the sun, surrounded by farmland, development, and that constant Wasatch backdrop.The contrast was striking...Had to pull off for a closer look... and some lunch...We pulled off into a State Park along Utah Lake... looked like tons of RV parking available... Had a quick lunch in the parking lot... and was actually contemplating a night or two alongside the lake ... when I popped open one of those gig apps on my phone... and was surprised to learn of another Walmart Remodel underway just a few miles up the Road in a place called Saratoga Springs. Cool... I thought.... just like that one we worked a few months back in Spirit Lake Iowa... all the folks I had met from all over the country... the stuff I’d learn about how a store ... in sections... gets taken apart... rearranged a bit... and put back together...every night... so the store could open for business again the next morning.So it was off to Saratoga Springs…Connect with the podcast on our website… ⁠https://LifeOutThere.me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast written and recorded by Billie and Craig.Full Transcripts available on our YT channel and our SubstackLogo’s designed and owned by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.

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 ground is a good day"...so do something with it boy. Do something with what you've been given this very day. You woke up this morning didn't you?So... no surprise to me...

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 with Dougie — what he liked, where he sniffed, where he pretended not to hear me when he wanted to stay just a little longer.But spring also carried a different weight. Quiet. Heavy. Familiar. I’d been trying not to look at it directly, but it was there. You can feel it long before you say it out loud.Dougie was slowing down.And I kept telling myself the same thing:He’ll tell you when it’s time.That voice had been with me for months. I just didn’t want to hear it yet.On April 17, the morning felt too good to ignore. Sunny. Sixty-five degrees. The kind of day that tricks you into thinking everything might be fine for a little while longer.So I loaded Dougie into V2, grabbed a couple waters, and pointed the truck downriver. Further than we had gone before. I wasn’t looking for anything specific. Just… a different place to hang out a bit.The road eventually narrowed until it ended at a private ranch. Left or right. Two choices. We turned left.We stepped out into air that was cool enough to wake you up but warm enough to make you stay still for a moment. The river moved steady beside us. Not rushing. Not crawling. Just doing what rivers do.I lifted Dougie down from the truck, and something in him shifted. Not physically. Not dramatically. Just… quietly. He looked around slower. He took in the air like he was trying to memorize it. And that’s when the voice came back.He’ll tell you when it’s time…Connect with the podcast on our website… ⁠https://LifeOutThere.me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast written and recorded by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.Full Transcripts available on YT channel and our SubstackLogo’s designed and owned by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.

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, already tried to wrap my head around it… but my mind kept drifting back to it....It felt strange. Surreal, honestly. Because while I was replaying the images in my head — the shouting, the broken glass, the absolute insanity of it all — Rangely didn’t even flinch. Some folks barely mentioned it. Some seemed like they hadn’t heard much about it at all. And others didn’t see it the same way I did.That was one of the first lessons this winter gave me… people live in the same world, at the same time… and still somehow live in different realities. And life just keeps goin... Doesn’t matter if the country is losing its mind. Doesn’t matter if you’re confused or upset or trying to figure out what the heck just happened. You still wake up. You still shovel snow. You still go to work. You still make coffee.I guess that’s how it works everywhere. Just felt louder here.Meanwhile, winter...and life.... wasn’t interested in waiting for me to get my head straight…Connect with the podcast on our website… ⁠LifeOutThere.me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast written and recorded by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.Logo’s designed and owned by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.

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 cold that doesn’t bother introducing itself before it gets to work on your bones.It’s Christmas, but it doesn’t feel like it. It feels like another day in a long line of days that have all blurred together. That’s not unusual for us. Holidays never carried the magic...for me... everyone else seems to feel. Too much noise. Too much pressure. Too much pretending.But this Christmas… it’s different. Not because it’s special.Because it’s heavy.We backed into our spot at the RV park, tires crunching over all the fresh snow. I’m watching the temperature on the dash dip down to eight degrees, then seven, then five as night fell. There’s something about pulling into a place that cold... I mean... Really cold...It’s quiet... but it makes you pay attention.And for the first time on this adventure of ours... the first thing we’d have to do after plugging in... shovel our driveway! I can’t remember the last time I had to shovel snow... and I quickly remembered why I hadn’t missed it.I’m not really thinking about Christmas.

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 for the night.The plains out here are something else. Nothin but snow....as far as we can see...like someone had just dumped a huge bag of flour on everything! This being our first trek through this part of the country...I kept thinking about how different this must look in the summer—green fields, grazing cattle, wildflowers here and there. But right now, so quiet, so cold....all snow-covered, and honestly, it’s kind of mesmerizing.We kept driving, watching the scenery shift—rolling hills taking over, still blanketed in snow, of course. The trees are bare, their branches reaching up like they’re trying to grab some warmth out of the sky.... It’s like the world’s in some sort of hibernation mode out here.And then the Rockies show up, and wow. These mountains, covered in snow, are pretty jaw-dropping....the massiveness of it all... The little towns I pass through—Dillon, Frisco—they’re picture-perfect, with snow piled high on rooftops and icicles dangling everywhere. It’s like a postcard come to life. Yet once again...imagining the summer vibe here in contrast to what we are looking at.... hikers hitting the trails, families biking, and wildflowers carpeting the slopes. Today, though, it’s all about the snow.450 Miles Into a Colorado Winter… and some more History Waiting for Us in Meeker.Connect with the podcast on our website… ⁠LifeOutThere.me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast written and recorded by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.Logo’s designed and owned by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.

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 like a rock. Snow flurries doing that sideways dance they only do when the wind is in one of its moods. And this time? Oh the winds.....they were in a full-blown tantrum. Gusts punching us at 75 mph. Vacilando shaking just enough to remind us that yes… we are small… and Mother Nature’s NOT.So we parked. And honestly? Felt lucky to have made it to a place where safe parking was even possible.We’d spend the next two days tucked in tight… letting Mother Nature get whatever this was out of her system. And there was something almost cozy about it… warm lights on inside Vacilando while the wind tried to peel the siding off every structure within a mile radius. Movies. Popcorn. That very specific sound of wind slamming into aluminum. You feel it in your ribs after a while.And outdoor exploration? Yeah… that wasn’t happening. We ventured out for a couple of brisk “just to say we tried” walks… but mostly… we stayed in. And I read this place called Burlington Colorado.Connect with the podcast on our website… ⁠LifeOutThere.me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast written and recorded by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.Logo’s designed and owned by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.

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 are wide here, skies wide open… deep blue… in between those brief temper tantrums winter kept throwing our way.And yet again… We would manage somehow to turn an over night stop… Into a week of exploring, learning, and meeting new friends.Connect with the podcast on our website… ⁠LifeOutThere.me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let us know what you think!

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 prepared for Platte City until you’re right on top of it, and even then, it’s easy to miss the heart of it. There’s a freeway sign that marks its existence, but beyond that, not much to suggest what lies ahead. You exit off I-29, and the choice is simple—head left, and you’ll find yourself at Platte Falls, part of a wildlife management area. Or turn right, over a small hill, and down into a town that’s quietly marked a piece of American history for nearly 180 years.Connect with the podcast on our website… ⁠LifeOutThere.me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let us know what you think!

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… ⁠LifeOutThere.me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let us know what you think!

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… ⁠LifeOutThere.me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let us know what you think!

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 corn fields, soy beans and ranches… at this point... all feeling pretty familiar.We rolled into town late in the afternoon... not hard to spot the only RV parking available in a town of 100 folks.Once parked, all hooked up and ready to stay for a few days...

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.

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. Grain trucks rumble by continuously... the hum of diesel engines blending into the subconscious... carrying the season’s harvest to storage.

A dog, a cat, and their human chuck the mainstream and hit the road in a 30-year-old RV. Exploring America...one small town at a time.Leaving Craig, Montana, felt strange. I didn’t want to go—I had uncovered so much there, like pieces of a puzzle I didn’t know I was solving. But turns out…Craig was only half the story. Half of me. The rest, I felt, was waiting in a place called Fargo, North Dakota.And so, we left Craig behind, driven by a need to know more. Fargo was the destination, but the journey mattered too. Along the way, we found a place called Cut Bank, Montana—a stop we didn’t expect, but one that would become part of our story.Connect with the podcast: Life Out There Podcast written and recorded by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.

A dog, a cat, and their human chuck the mainstream and hit the road in a 30 year old RV. Exploring America...one small town at a time. As awesome as our campsite was off Miners Draw Road...That "Cliff Ridge" just above us was just too tempting! We trekked just 10 miles or so up into those Utah Mountains....and find our way to the Colorado side of things...and more incredible views. And more daydreaming about what things used to be like around here. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with the podcast:Life Out TherePodcast written and recorded by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.

A dog, a cat, and their human chuck the mainstream and hit the road in a 30 year old RV. Exploring America...one small town at a time. A couple days camping along the Green River in Jensen Utah was pretty awesome...until temps chased us back up into the mountains of Utah. This time...a two track called Miners Draw Road would provide just the break we needed from the heat...and a pretty awesome lesson in the ranching history of the area. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with the podcast:Life Out There ⁠⁠Podcast written and recorded by Dougie, Billie, and Craig.
