📌 Episode Summary:

In this special episode of Wandering Gypsy RV Life, Stan Cromlish opens up about the deep, personal pull he feels toward the High Plains and Rocky Mountains. From the dusty pages of Louis L’Amour novels passed down by his Grandma Juanita to real-life cowboy work in Eastern Montana, Stan shares the story of how the rugged West first captured his imagination—and never let go.

You’ll hear how John Denver’s lyrics struck a chord, how fly fishing in the Rockies brings him peace, and why the open skies of the West always seem to call him back. This one’s for the dreamers, the wanderers, and anyone who’s ever felt the tug of a place that feels like home—even if they’ve never been there before.

Whether you’re on the road, in your rig, or just dreaming of wide-open spaces, this episode will remind you of the freedom that comes with the journey.

đŸ—ș In This Episode, Stan Talks About:

  • His introduction to the American West through Louis L’Amour’s novels
  • Working on a Montana ranch in 1992 and falling in love with the high plains
  • The emotional power of Rocky Mountain High by John Denver
  • How the Rockies and plains offer more than views—solace, peace, and perspective
  • The magic of fly fishing in cold, clear Western waters
  • Why RV travel keeps bringing him back to the places that make him feel whole

💬 Quote from the Episode:

“Maybe the call of the West isn’t just about the scenery or solitude. Maybe it’s about remembering who you are—when no one’s watching and the land doesn’t care about your rĂ©sumĂ©, your status, or your schedule.”
