  • Amazing Podcast for Camping & RVing in the Pacific Northwest

    If you enjoy camping in the Pacific Northwest - this podcast is for you. I enjoy campground reviews, suggestions on local attractions and camping tips that are part of the podcasts. This is a must listen to show and is a regular part of my road trips in OR, WA and Idaho!

  • Politics, Really?

    It only took about one minute of listening to hear this guys Trump Derangement Syndrome come out.

    I thought this was a podcast about RV’ing, but he’s clearly a disturbed individual.

    Kind of strange that he wants to alienate the majority of his potential audience. Guess he’ll probably go the way of Colbert.

    I’m done after one minute.

  • No filler

    My favorite RV podcast. Unlike most of the other shows in this category, which feature cohosts and too much banter, this one cuts right to the chase. A pleasure to listen to.

Q: Was there a route you took through Idaho? Share that with us and what were some of the main stops along the way?

Eat Wild on the Road: Foraging Tips from Langdon Cook
