Western Adventure with Ma

Western Adventure with Ma

Author: Anne Cole August 20, 2018 Duration: 43:29

My Mom and I flew out to Billings, MT on Tuesday August 14th and rented a car for a week to go explore the Great Out West. We visited the Battle of Little Big Horn on the first day and ended up in Buffalo, WY by the second night just missing Longmire Days which was the previous weekend. We then drove through the beautiful country side into Cody, WY by the third day and took in a rodeo of coarse. Our fourth day landed us in Jackson Hole, WY after driving through half of beautiful Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks. We ended up crashing out there for a couple nights as Mom came down with pneumonia. After she stared to feel a little better, we continued on back north through the Tetons and Yellowstone checking out Old Faithful and running with the buffalo. We then had a close call as we coasted down Bear Tooth Pass in the dark and almost on fumes but found gas and a nice hotel in Red Lodge, MT for our sixth night on the road. Then as our vacation time wound down, we headed back to Billings to catch a flight home on the 21st. We fell in love with the Rocky Mountains and the romance of all the rich history of the land. We met some wonderful people and had amazing mother/daughter bonding time. I feel so lucky to share this experience with my mom.....pneumonia and all.

Anne Cole’s Road-Grime Podcast is a raw, unfiltered audio journal from the seat of a motorcycle. It’s less about polished travelogues and more about the gritty, real moments that happen between point A and point B-the unexpected detours, the roadside characters, the perfect dive bar find, and the occasional mechanical panic. As a self-described Michigan biker chick, Anne brings a specific lens to these stories, one that’s equally informed by a love of hard rock, baseball, and good whiskey. Each episode feels like a conversation at a campfire after a long day’s ride, blending personal reflection with observations on the cultures and places she moves through. This isn't a how-to guide; it's a collection of lived experiences, the kind that leave a little grime on your boots. You’ll hear the rumble of the engine and the wind in the mic as Anne navigates not just backroads, but themes of freedom, community, and the simple joy of a solitary ride. The Road-Grime Podcast captures the essence of life on two wheels, in all its imperfect and exhilarating glory, making it a genuine listen for anyone who appreciates stories told with authenticity and a touch of grease.
