Hey everyone and welcome back to Walkin' on the Wild Side! We finish up our three part series on the local legends of South Carolina with one of Gabrielle's favorite legends of the Lowcountry, the Gray Man. This legend is a prognosticator of hurricanes and landfall, often protecting the person and property he reveals himself to. The legend started in the 1800's in Pawley's Island, SC and has persisted to this day. There are different versions, but all have a similar outcome. A person sees a gray man in an overcoat and hat, he warns them to flee the impending storm, and their homes are spared, even when everything around them is devastated. Join Gabrielle and I in Pawley's Island, close to where the legend was born, and then join us for dinner as we talk to a local young man, Chandler, who happened to be our waiter at the amazing Rustic Table restaurant. We hope you enjoy this episode and here's a few websites to learn more about this legend of the Lowcountry:

It's time for another episode of Walkin' on the Wild Side and we are road trippin' for part 2 of our "Local Legends of South Carolina" series! This time, we're up in Union County, where a local legend is well known by folks in the area, but maybe not known outside of this area of South Carolina. Goshen Hill Plantation was the site of a settlement where a man was wrongfully hanged for a murder he didn't commit, and both he and his faithful dog were executed in a wrongful rush to judgment. Scary stories of a white dog with a hideous grin that haunts this area of Union county have been told for years and a simple drive along Old Buncombe Road can really get your imagination going! Join Gabrielle and I along this stretch and a few more places as we search for the Hound of Goshen Hill, secretly praying that we DON'T see him!

It's time for another episode of Walkin' on the Wild Side and while we were out on a road trip, Gabrielle had a wonderful idea to do a three part series of "Local Legends of South Carolina"!

Our first part takes us east of Columbia near Camden. While out on a road trip that included Buc-ee's and Swan Lake in Sumter, I wanted to share the location of our first local legend in the Scape Ore Swamp of Bishopville. Join us to learn of the phenomenon that took place in the late 80's, where the Lizardman took the city, state, nation, and even the world by storm! Learn about the first sighting started the craze and what remains of this local legend today. Check out the web pages below for more information and check out our Facebook pages for videos, pictures, and more!

It's time for another episode and this time, we're talking about a bird that is so often heard but not seen. Often called rain crows, due to being heard calling before approaching storms, these birds get a bad rap as nest parasites, but our yellow billed cuckoos don't that that too often. Join us on the backporch, along with the lightning bugs, chucks, whippoorwills, and even a screech owl stops by, all to listen and learn about the cuckoos. I guess you can say they are also cuckoo for cuckoos!

While sitting on the porch last night, preparing to record another episode, we heard chuck-wils-widows and whippoorwills calling and thought, why record another episode when we can bring back a blast from the past and re-post "Goatsuckers Galore", one of our first podcasts from 2021! Join our trip down memory lane and learn about these amazing birds collectively called goatsuckers or nightjars, which include some of the serenades of summer from these large, cryptically colored, and at times LOUD birds! So, we hope you enjoy "walkin on the wild side and reminiscing (cue the Little River Band)" and relive one of our first episodes. Hopefully, you'll enjoy our "intro"...lol!

It's time for another episode of Walkin' on the Wild Side and our second part of Wandering in Yellowstone! Part 2 takes Gabrielle and I into the hot springs, geysers, and thermal areas of Yellowstone, as well as wandering through Lamar Valley, the Serengeti of North America. We'll share observations of these amazing areas, some of the wildlife we saw, as well as some of the historic sites like Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel and the Old Faithful Inn, and the gorgeous natural beauty of this amazing park, including one of the most famous geysers, Old Faithful!

Yellowstone is America's first National Park and they couldn't have picked a better one to start off the amazing resource we have as the National Parks. It has been a dream of ours to get to this area, and here we are! Join us for a multiple part series as we travel the beauty and natural wonders that is Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons National Park.

Monarch butterflies are probably one of the most well known butterflies but are also have secrets that scientists have yet to crack! Join Gabrielle and I on the back porch with special guest, Gabrielle's long-time friend from gradeschool and flower extraordinaire, Jamie Bourquin. After planting pollinator plants in our new pollinator yard, we chat about this amazing butterfly, their incredible journey, and other fun facts that will hopefully inspire our listeners to look more closely at pollinators and the importance of teaching the next generation of nature lovers!
