TAC- The Audacious Coddiwomplers
Hosted by Jake and Whitney · EN
Embark on a journey with Jake and Whitney, a married duo traveling the country with their dog, Sandy, in an RV and camper van. Whitney is a travel nurse, and Jake is a stay-at-home husband, and together they’re turning every destination into an adventure.
On The Audacious Coddiwomplers, we dive into the highs and lows of life on the road, sharing favorite finds, delicious eats (donuts and smash burgers, anyone?), and helpful tips for fellow wanderers. Whether it’s discovering new places or revisiting old favorites, Jake and Whitney bring a unique perspective, a sense of humor, and plenty of heart to every episode.
Join us for stories, insights, and inspiration to fuel your next adventure—wherever the road may lead. Tune in when we release a new adventure, usually on a Sunday, and don’t forget to follow along on Instagram (@tac_theaudaciouscoddiwomplers) for behind-the-scenes glimpses of our travels. and YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@TAC-TheAudaciousCoddiwomplers) for our full-length hiking and paddle boarding adventures, as well as clips!

Jun 15, 202501:01:41Tap to summarizeSend us a textFor an episode masquerading as an Easter egg hunt, we sure did eat a lot of food! We were up to our usual gluttonous adventures in this episode. Fortunately, we had friends to help absorb some of the shenanigans for a part. Gee was kind enough to host us for saison day at Growler King, we hunted eggs in Crescent City, Arcata provided an amazing smashburger, Loleta offered up some magical ice cream, Fortuna may have our favorite breakfast (don't tell Fat Irish Pub in Brookings, OR), Jake drinks more beer, donuts happen in Eureka, and we revisit the Redwood National Park for a peaceful walk in Fern Canyon! And if you make it to the end, we experience some technical issues. No worries though! We have upgraded equipment to avoid having Whitney's mic ever die during a recording session again, since she's the one that people come to listen to anyway!Skout Taphouse- Ashland, ORGrowler King- Medford, ORSound and Vision Winery- Talent, ORSouth G Kitchen- Arcata, CAJersey Scoops- Loleta, CADick Taylor Chocolate- Eureka, CAL's Kitchen- Fortuna, CABear River Casino- Loleta, CA Stay up to 3 nights a week for free for vans/ campersDead Reckoning Tavern- Eureka, CADon's Donuts- Eureka, CADonut Mill- Eureka, CAFogline Coffee- Arcata, CAFern Canyon- Orick, CAInstagram @tac_theaudaciouscoddiwomplers
