In this episode, we visit the “Potato State”, which is as marvelous as it is geographically diverse!
We start our adventure off in Preston, home of the High School from “Napoleon Dynamite.” We then cruise on down to Twin Falls to do some 1st-person POV Base Jumping with Hank Priester, we round out the trip in Northern Idaho trying to tackle a giant sundae and some finger picking bluesgrass lessons with “Flatpick Earl.”
Now go out there and explore!
Our experiences traveling throughout the Hawaiian Islands were unforgettable….
Here are just a few snippets, as we investigate and pet some seahorses in Kona on “the Big Island,” go cliff diving and plant -ouching in Maui, go Ziplining and “Jurassic Park-ing” in Kauai, and most incredibly, take part in the Hawaii Floating Lantern Ceremony of Oahu.
Enjoy your life, it’s not a dress rehearsal!
In this episode, we visit some interesting places along the 101 HWY of Washington State.
Beginning in the town of Westport, we see the Pacific Coast’s “Tallest Lighthouse,” built in the late 1800’s. A volunteer lighthouse keeper and his wife show us around the Gray’s Harbor Lighthouse, and explain the advances in Lighthouse technology over the last hundred years.
Next, we scoot on up to the town of Sequim, WA and see the “Olympic Game Farm.” CARnage ensues.
Finally, I stop off in one of the most 70’s-90’s Nostalgia capitals of the entire planet, Don Sucher’s “Star Wars Store” in Aberdeen. He tells me about the time that Princess Leia gave him a tattoo… Sure, why not?
This is the Travelogue episode that took the longest to make… Five years to be exact! There is footage in this episode that never made it into my very first episode ever!
Wild!
In this action-packed episode, I visit my brother-from-another-mother Rick Apodaca, Owner of “the Tiki Monster” Soda Emporium of Stanton, CA. His shop is filled with soda curiosities and friendly folks! Check him out and SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES of Orange County!
Later I hang out at Golf n’ Stuff in Norwalk, where I talk a lady into letting me “borrow a club to shoot just one hole.” I also geek out just a bit because of the “Karate Kid” references there.
Also, I fulfill a lifelong goal for this series, and shoot inside of a Bob’s Big Boy Restaurant!
What fun, free things there are to do in Orange County if you just open your eyes to your neighborhood!
Come on and check out a side of Florida that you’ve never heard of before.. It’ll be a gas!
In this episode, we visit some Manatees living in their wild, natural habitat near Crystal River Springs! They sure do love to play and Wrassle! Also, we poke around Seaside, which is the town that doubled as the backdrop for “Seahaven” in “The Truman Show.” Then, it’s on to McGuire’s Irish Pub in Destin, for a look at $1.8 Million worth of one dollar bills! After… Well, just hang around and see!
Get out and “Explore MORE in Twenty-One Four”!
In this episode, I go to “The Peculiarium” and eat bugs. I also eat a whole, blackened pig and some sturgeon.
Also, I check out Multnomah Falls and The Astoria Column..
Come along for the ride, I mean really, what else are you doing for the next nine minutes?

Welcome to Wyoming, whose State Motto, interestingly, is “Equal Rights.” I don’t know why. I didn’t know that when I was there. I just looked it up right now, Seriously… Just now.
This state is quite dynamic, despite its square appearance, and in this crazy episode, I find a rancher who decided it would be a good idea to dig up all of his crops (think “Field of Dreams”) and stick a school bus, a camper, and a plane hull three stories underneath his farm. He named it “Buryville.” If you see one thing in Wyoming, this needs to be it.
Also, we check out an abandoned State Park/Roadside Attraction called “Hell’s Half Acre.” It is breathtaking and also used as the film location for many movies that need something “foreign planet looking.” You’ll see why, when you check it out.
Lastly, Strawberries burn my mouth.. Figure that one out.
Keep exploring, there’s something amazing hidden right under your nose (or in this case, under your sculpture of a spring cowboy riding an oil drum horse)….

Welcome to SEASON THREE my web-series, “The Travelogue,” which takes you to all of the places in America that you never knew you needed to see!
In this episode, I head to some remote areas of the Great State of Alaska and see some amazing attractions!
– I stop in for a chat with the Mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska, Stubbs. He’s a swell guy who has been holding his position as mayor of the town for over 16 years!
– I visit Santa’s Workshop in the REAL North Pole, Alaska. If you have ever written a letter to Santa C/O the North Pole, this is the very place that your letters would be delivered AND responded to!
– Ever wondered what one of those exotic “Ice Hotels” in Norway would be like on the inside? Well, you don’t have to travel all the way to Europe to find out, as I visit Chena Hot Springs’ Ice Museum / Hotel just one hour Northeast of Fairbanks.
– My boys Shawn Pomrenke and Cody Moen from Discovery TV’s “Bering Sea Gold” take me four-wheeling on the frozen Pacific Ocean in Nome, Alaska… Watch out though, things don’t quite go as planned!
Now just because I went to Alaska this episode, you shouldn’t be saying to yourself, “Oh I’ll never be able to do that.”
Adventures are around every corner… especially in your own backyard. You can explore your community and the oddities within the United States no matter what age you are, how much money you have, or how extroverted you are. Now get out of your chair and make one of these for yourself!

In this episode, I travel to Bremerton, Washington… Home of the band MxPx. They have been a band for over 20 years! They are incredibly cool guys.
Lead singer Mike Herrera takes us on a tour of his “Monkey Trench Studios”, then I get some interesting historical tidbits about the band’s first release from some cool people. Finally, I fulfill a lifelong dream, and get to rehearse with the band as they prepare for tour.
Life’s a great ride, so enjoy it. While your at it, check out some of my other adventures… or better yet, go live some of your own!

In honor of the greatest Country in America, I thought I’d take you on a tour of the spooky, abandoned “President’s Park” near Williamsburg, Virginia. It is one of the few places we’ve found where you’ll be able to check out 43 rotting, 16 foot tall US President’s heads. It is Amazing.
Also, check out the Rock and Roll Half Marathon in Virginia Beach… It was BRUTAL. Also, I debunk some rumors that the good ol’ Disney Company started a few years ago regarding our dear friends, the Colonial English Settlers and the story of Pocahontas.
