Dirt Road Tourist is a bi-weekly podcast dedicated to the adventurous spirit of overlanding, where the journey is as rewarding as the destination. Focusing on travel, exploration, and the beauty of the open road, we dive into stories and tips for those who love the thrill of off-roading and discovering hidden gems off the beaten path. Whether you're a seasoned explorer or just dreaming of your next adventure, Dirt Road Tourist offers insights, inspiration, and practical advice to fuel your passion for exploration beyond the pavement.
To help celebrate America's 250th, I want to take you back to 1780, to an extraordinary journey undertaken by a band of Appalachian Colonists in defense of their homes, and in search of freedom. This is the story of the Overmountain Men, and their journey to Kings Mountain, where they changed the course of the Revolutionary War, and our country's history. Join me for this special episode of the Dirt Road Tourist. And, thank you for listening.

Epic Campsite, and the Trail Ride That Didn't
In this episode, there’s an epic campsite, a group trail ride that ended before it even began, some new features that dropped in the OnX mapping app, and I talk about my impressions of the Abbree AR-8118 GMRS radio after having a chance to use it on a trip. I go into how the Dirt Road Tourist got its name in the beginning. There’s a ton of ground to cover in this one, so click on the episode, and let’s dive in!

Save The Mud Terrains!
California is up to what California does best, pass regulations that affect the rest of the country. This one has the potential to affect one of the things we rely on in the backcountry the most: our tires.
If you love Offroad travel, and maintain a built rig, you should take the time to read up on what has been proposed.
And, as always, thank you so much for listening, subscribing, rating. You folks are the lifeblood of the Dirt Road Tourist.
