(Podcast) Into the Storm: Driving Across Nebraska in Summer
Season 1, Episode 2: driving into a line of thunderstorms crossing Nebraska on I-80 — pet comfort, checklists, and the camping and weather apps we rely on.
On this episode (Season 1, Episode 2) we talk about comfort for you and your pets, how to stay sane by making and using some simple checklists, and some of our favorite smartphone apps for finding camping and checking the weather along the way.
Of course, on our first day out — crossing the Great Plains on I-80 across Nebraska — we encounter a dangerous line of thunderstorms.
Summer in the Great Plains is always a prime place to run into some fierce resistance from Mother Nature. While that can be beautiful, it can also be dangerous and intimidating, so it’s best to have a plan in place!
Apps we mention: for camping spots, Campendium and Park Advisor; for navigation, Waze, Apple Maps, and Google Earth; for weather, MyRadar (great for forecasts), NOAA, and Hi-Def Radar. And don’t forget a pet medical kit.

(Podcast) Hunkered in Nebraska: Riding Out the Storm
Season 1, Episode 3: hunkering down in Nebraska ahead of a storm — weather resources, safety, and a proper introduction to who we are and why we created Keyword Adventure.
In this episode (Season 1, Episode 3), we make a decision: charge ahead to see just how good our timing is with the storm ahead, or hang back and spend the night in a Walmart parking lot with dozens of truckers.
We cover weather resources and safety, and touch on a bit of human safety in everyday scenarios.
And finally, we introduce ourselves! You gave us some great feedback and we realized we hadn’t given a proper introduction yet. Get to know who we are, how we travel, what we’re doing and why, and the mission that inspired the creation of Keyword Adventure.
