Mike's Mountain Adventures

In the 1980's bars and clubs all over the country hired bands to play six nights a week. The gigs were often hundreds of miles apart. Driving these distances, it is important to pack equipment and supplies in the vehicle so they may be easily retrieved when needed. Similarly, loading a backpack so that the most often used items are easily accessible and ready when needed. In 1986, drummer Michael McCune developed a comfortable system for adapting to a changing lifestyle, music, and outdoor travel. I have camped in cars, vans, tents, pop-ups, trailers, motor homes, hotel rooms, and cabins. In 2022, Kathy and Michael created a series of videos with lists and tips on how to have fun while road-tripping, camping, and hiking. Mike's Mountain Adventures episodes will show you how to plan a trip, prepare for the unexpected, pack your vehicle for adventure, and enjoy the road less traveled. We visit national parks, ghost towns, and natural wonders and meet with musicians during our travels.
