Ric Wayland
A roadtripper and storyteller with an eye for the history most people pass without noticing. Ric follows the road, asks what happened here, and tells the stories hiding just beyond the windshield.
Hidden history along America's highways
The road tells you where you are. We tell you what you’re passing.
Forgotten mines, vanished towns, strange landmarks, old alignments, local legends, and the history hiding in plain sight beyond the windshield.

The premise
The scenery is only the surface.
Every road has stories hiding just beyond the windshield. We uncover the history, people, places, and events you can pass without ever knowing they were there.
Explore by road
One road. More than one story.
Each series follows a real highway corridor. Each chapter pulls one story out of the landscape — something you could drive past a hundred times and never know was there.
