| 6/23/26 | ![]() Ticks, Beepers, and a Stick in Norman's Mouth | Life on the Road With Dogs | "Do you want the good news or the bad news?" That's how this one started. Norman, a stick, and a phone call that had Cara convinced something was actually wrong.We've been traveling full-time with Norman and Bella for a while now, and this episode is everything we've learned along the way that we haven't said out loud yet. The hammock that saved our backseat. The water timing trick we wish we'd figured out before our Kansas debacle. Why we medicate them the same way we'd medicate ourselves after an injury. The tick situation that's still not fully solved. And the beeper collar that quietly became one of the best decisions we've made on the road. Plus: a stick, a spoon of peanut butter, and a phone call that had one of us convinced the worst had happened.What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why our dogs never learned to hold their bladder, and what that means for road trip planningThe dog hammock and cushion setup that saved our backseat (and our sanity)Why we don't feed or water them right before a long drive, and what taught us that lesson the hard wayThe pain medication mindset we use for the dogs that we also use for ourselvesOur ongoing, unsolved tick situation and why we're looking for a better optionHow the beeper collar became one of the best tools we've added to the roadHot pavement, paw pads, and timing walks around the heatWhat we've learned about national park rules and campground restrictions for dogsNorman, a stick, a spoon of peanut butter, and the funniest non-emergency of the tripResources & Mentions:Our dog first aid kit episode (porcupine quills, cactus removal, rattlesnake awareness)Our Kansas episode (the cop and emergency convoy story referenced here)Wall Drug, South Dakota (the billboard campaign that got us curious)If something in our conversations is stirring something in you, The Reinvention Project is where we go deeper.

| 6/16/26 | ![]() We Stopped White-Knuckling It | Road Life Two Years In | Two and a half years ago we were gripping the steering wheel so hard our knuckles were white. Trying to figure out how to keep this life we'd built from slipping away before it had even really started.This week... we're not doing that anymore.This episode is a road dispatch from Kansas and Iowa; tornadoes we almost panicked over, soul people we tracked down in Kansas City, a wedding memory that hit James somewhere tender, and a quiet realization that we've actually, genuinely arrived at the life we were fighting so hard to keep.We also talk about what it felt like to drop into the grind-pace of regular life while visiting people we love... and how strange it is to live outside that rhythm now. Not better or worse. Just different. And how much we notice it.What you'll hear in this episode:The tornado that turned out to be mostly in our heads (and the neighbors playing in the rain while we were ready to flee to a storm shelter)Kansas City through the windshield of a 26-foot trailer; six lanes, kind strangers, incredible foodCheyenne (from our Safe Space episode) in real life; her bookstore, her world, her peopleThe wedding James doesn't remember attending... because he was very, very drunkWhy Iowa might become a twice-a-year stop on our routeWhat "white-knuckling it" actually felt like in year one... and what it feels like now to just... relax into itWhere we're headed next (Montana, Yellowstone, Beartooth Pass...?)Resources and mentions:Cheyenne's podcastOur episode with CheyenneThe Reinvention ProjectIf something in this conversation is stirring something in you, the gap between the life you're grinding through and the one you can feel waiting... that's exactly what The Reinvention Project is for. It's a quiet space to look honestly at what you're building and who you're becoming. Come find us when you're ready.You're always welcome at our campfire.

| 12/17/25 | ![]() Drive Your Bus: Quieting the Inner Critic with Dr. Margaret Cochran | If you’re heading into family gatherings with an inner critic (or a loud uncle), this one’s for you! Your inner critic doesn’t have to drive your life. In this powerful conversation, therapist and hypnotherapist Dr. Margaret Cochran shares a simple “bus” mindfulness tool to name the loud voice in your head, stop arguing with it, and keep moving toward your goals—without toxic positivity.In this episode of Kerouacs Cruising, we talk about the inner critic, healing old wounds, and why “words create realities.” Dr. Cochran breaks down a mindfulness practice you’ll remember forever: you’re the driver of the bus, and your thoughts are passengers—including the ones that shout fear, shame, and “you didn’t do it right.”We also explore:Why fighting the inner critic drains your energy (and stalls your momentum)How to name the voice and keep driving anywayThe “hole in the sidewalk” pattern—and the steps to finally choose a new roadCognitive distortions, narcissistic family systems, and why kids internalize blameA simple “three questions” reset when you’re spiralingA 28–30 day gratitude practice that can shift your brain over timeBoundaries at family gatherings: limits, exit plans, and not taking the baitA grounding meditation: Embracing the Golden LightManifestation vs. “toxic positivity”: you can’t clean the kitchen if you won’t see the dirtThe question that cuts through fear: What would I do if I weren’t afraid?Connect with Dr. Margaret Cochran: Website: DrCochran.comMore from us: Blog + episode resources: kerouacscruising.com Email: join@kerouacscruising.com Follow: @kerouacscruising (IG/FB) | — | ||||||

| 12/10/25 | ![]() You’ll Never Walk Alone: Turning Injury into Adventure with Jo Giese | What do you do when a botched surgery leaves you without an Achilles tendon… and a therapist tells you you’ll be “compromised for the rest of your life”? In this episode, author and hiker Jo Giese shares how she clawed her way back to the trail, one waterfall, lucky stone, and hopeful step at a time.When a “routine” Achilles repair went horribly wrong, doctors told Jo Giese that life as she knew it was over. The Achilles died, infection set in, and even a trusted PT told her she’d be compromised forever.But Jo refused to accept that story.In this conversation, Jo shares how she went from barely able to walk to becoming what doctors now call a medical outlier — the 0.01% of people who recover function without an Achilles tendon. With brutal honesty and a lot of humor, she talks about rebuilding strength, finding the right medical team, and why killing someone’s hope is one of the worst things we can do.We also dive into:Why some people succumb to injury while others overcome itHow waterfalls, wild places, and “waterfall medicine” became a big part of Jo’s healingThe importance of community: doctors, therapists, friends, and the people who simply show upWhy Jo is firmly against hiking alone in remote places — and how to find safer ways to adventureThe joy of lucky stones, “walkie talkies” walking groups, and discovering that your pace doesn’t define your worthJo’s upcoming memoir, You’ll Never Walk Alone: A Hiker’s Memoir of Adventure, Tragedy, and Defying the Odds, releases February 10, 2026 — and this conversation is a beautiful preview of the grit, vulnerability, and awe packed into her story.🎧 Listen if you’re navigating injury, burnout, or big life change and need a reminder that your body — and your spirit — might be capable of far more than you’ve been told.💻 Watch this episode on YouTube: @KerouacsCruising📸 Blog & travel stories: KerouacsCruising.com💬 Instagram & Facebook: @KerouacCruising📧 Email: Join@KerouacsCruising.com✨ Support our journey on Ko-fi: Every little bit helps us keep creating from the road!

| 12/6/25 | ![]() A Broken Shifter, Wildfires & a Blessing in Disguise | Idaho Backcountry | The shifter disconnected on a remote fire road in the Idaho backcountry — no phone signal, no reverse gear, three dogs in the back seat. What happened next is very on-brand for Kerouacs Cruising.On a routine drive through the Idaho backcountry to scout campsites for an upcoming hunting trip, James and Cara's truck shifter disconnects — leaving them stranded without phone service, unable to move, on a fire road with three dogs. What could have been a full breakdown becomes something else entirely: a reminder that this life requires resourcefulness, humor, and the ability to zip tie your way out of a problem.This episode covers the repair in real time, the honest reality of finding dispersed camping in Idaho amid wildfire closures, and the quiet gratitude that closes it all — because the broken linkage that got James underneath the truck accidentally revealed a slow transmission leak before it became something much worse on the road.What You'll Hear in This Episode:The moment the shifter disconnects mid-drive on a fire road — no phone service, no reverse, three dogs in the backHow James diagnoses the problem from underneath the truck and gets them moving again with a zip tieThe "blessing in disguise" — how the breakdown revealed a slow transmission fluid leak that could have caused serious damage down the roadThe honest reality of finding dispersed camping in Idaho right now — wildfire closures, trashed sites, and roads that look accessible on the map but aren'tHow wildfire smoke is complicating Ryan's upcoming hunting trip and closing off the areas he'd been scoutingThe real skill set full-time camper life quietly builds — resourcefulness, problem-solving, and the ability to stay calm when things go sidewaysResources & Mentions:O'Reilly Auto Parts — transmission linkage connectorThermal bypass valve — transmission cooling component (DIY campsite repair)AAA — mentioned as not an option on dirt roadsIdaho dispersed camping — wildfire closure challengesNote for Clarity: This episode was recorded during Cara and James's late summer/early fall 2025 Idaho stretch, approximately 3–4 months into full-time camper life. Ryan and Deidra (James's son and daughter-in-law) are referenced as family they were visiting and camping near during this period.If this conversation resonated with you, you're always welcome at our campfire.

Years later, a four-month trip through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and China became the backbone of her book and completely changed her relationship with travel, writing, and herself.In this conversation, we explore:How a “once in a lifetime” trip turned into a raw, funny, and honest travel memoirThe jungle trek in Laos that went very, very differently than expectedWhat travel fatigue actually feels like—and how to know when it’s time to go homeWhy the people you meet matter more than the places you seeThe strange freedom of being more yourself when you’re far from homeWhy it’s never too late to start traveling (or to finally write the book that’s been tugging at you)If you’ve ever dreamed about backpacking Asia, traveling solo, or simply reconnecting with your authentic self, this episode will give you both permission and a gentle nudge out the door.All Things Melissa:The People You MeetInstagram: @fly_travel_mediaWebsite: https://flyrodway.comFacebook: FLYTravelMedia💻 Watch this episode on YouTube: @KerouacsCruising📸 Blog & travel stories: KerouacsCruising.com💬 Instagram & Facebook: @KerouacCruising📧 Email: Join@KerouacsCruising.com✨ Support our journey on Ko-fi: Every little bit helps us keep creating from the road!

| 11/15/25 | ![]() Nevada to Oregon: Antelope Reservoir, La Grande Pines & Life with 3 Dogs | From a sketchy canal in Nevada to a dreamy lakeside spot in Oregon, this leg of our journey had biting flies, blown-up Starlink, surprise mice, and a whole lot of dog hair. We’re towing our 26-foot trailer with three dogs, chasing cooler temps, and trying to keep our truck alive while we inch toward Idaho and grandbaby smoochies.You’ll also see our sweet girl Jewels all throughout this episode—this was filmed before she passed, so this one is extra special to us. 💛In this adventure episode, we roll out of the Yosemite/Virginia Lakes area and start making our way toward Idaho with a few memorable stops along the way:Humboldt Wildlife Management Area near Lovelock, Nevada – including why we wouldn’t let the dogs in the water, how biting flies + mosquitoes changed our minds, and what it’s like crawling down a washboard road at 10 mph with a trailer.Antelope Reservoir, Oregon (near Jordan Valley) – a beautiful free camping spot with swimmable water, big skies, and first-come-first-served lakeside sites that fill up fast.Spring Creek Road (Forest Service Road 21) near La Grande, Oregon – high pines, Oregon Trail history, Labor Day side-by-sides, hunting season, and how we handled the heat when we really just wanted a quiet few days in the woods.We also talk honestly about full-time RV life with three dogs (Jewels, Bella, and Norman):laundry math when you haven’t washed clothes since you left Arizonadog hair avalanches every time you crack a windowmanaging an elderly dog’s incontinence on the roadwhy we keep snap traps on board for surprise furry stowaways 🐭On the “logistics & life” side, we share:our truck upgrades (that new transmission cooler and why slowing down on mountain passes changed everything)a weird AC thermostat glitch in the camper (hello, Celsius)Starlink reality when clouds roll in and your upload speed disappears right when you’re trying to deliver a podcast episodethe emotional roller coaster of selling our Arizona homestead and the excitement of possibly buying a small treed acre in Idaho near the lake—just enough space to park the camper, fence the pups, run shore power, and build a big “dog house” shed.Through it all, we’re just two humans and three dogs doing our best to travel slow, stay safe, and keep things honest—even when the fire pits are full of trash, the temps hit the 90s, and the laundry basket is begging for mercy.🎧 In this episode you’ll hear about:The truth about Humboldt Wildlife Management Area as an overnight stopWhy we highly recommend Antelope Reservoir (and why you should arrive early)Free camping on Spring Creek Road / FS 21 near La Grande, ORTraveling with three dogs: hair, heat, and hard decisionsOur Starlink struggles and website rebuild in the wildTruck temps, towing safety, and how a transmission cooler changed our driving styleOur next chapter: hunting season, baby cuddles, and a potential home base in Idaho🔗 Places & resources mentioned:Antelope Reservoir (near Jordan Valley, Oregon) – free lakeside camping with vault toilets and fire rings (check current fire bans)Spring Creek Road / FS 21 near La Grande, OR – dispersed camping + Spring Creek Campground (fee area with vault toilet)GC Asian Fusion, La Grande, Oregon – delicious, affordable Asian fusion spot we loved in downtown La Grande💛 A note about Jewels: You’ll see our girl Jewels a lot in this video.

| 11/12/25 | ![]() Authentic Networking for Introverts with Nick Shelton (Resetting Identity with Ease) | If “networking” makes you want to run for the hills, this episode will feel like a deep breath. We’re joined by Nick Shelton—veteran, strategist, stand-up comic, and author of An Introvert’s Guide to World Domination—to talk about navigating the world as an introvert without wearing a mask. We dig into authenticity vs. performance, simple step-by-step social systems (yes, including where to stand and what to hold), re-finding yourself after retirement or a major life change, and why saying “I don’t know” is secretly a superpower. Nick also shares his “Reset Button” framework for auditing your life, releasing old identities, and building purpose through aligned habits.Highlights:The low-pressure way to enter any room and meet one personAuthenticity > confidence: stop faking it, start systemizing itThe “reset letter” + burn ritual (honoring past you)Cooking/dance/language classes as identity-building cheat codesTreating everyone like a VIP (and why it opens real doors)Links & resources:Nick’s site: resettheman.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/nicholasleonshelton/An Introvert’s Guide to World Domination: geni.us/anintrovertsguideOur blog & photos: kerouacscruising.comCallouts: If this helped, share it with the introvert in your life and leave a review—it truly keeps us rolling. | — | ||||||
