A BackPax® Adventure to the Caribbean island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, land where the steel drum, "pan," was invented; where Jombies and spirits thrill the imagination, and Ananci - that mythical, magical spider - spins his wondrous story web.

In the frosty north country of upstate New York, once known as "stretching turtle," live today's Tonawanda Seneca people.

With this journey to Iroquois Country, BackPax takes listener/adventurers to the heart and soul of an old people and a new nation.

There's a spectacular show taking place in the northwestern section of Wyoming. Produced by Earth, directed by Nature, designed by Time, it is called Yellowstone, the world's first National Park.

Travel to Cajun Country. It's like no other place in the world. Thick and lush, an overgrowth of green guards the rim of the waters, trees dredged in Spanish moss bowed to the whisper of creature gossip, and oh what stories they tell: tales of fish with whiskers, and fast flying feet; tales of pirates, buried treasure and ghosts on the lookout. Here is a spicy blend of Cajun food, festivals, music and lore.

America the Beautiful. It just may be the most exciting country in the world. There isn't a food or face, language or lifestyle that can't be found here. All you have to do is listen to this all-American family album: a Native American powwow, a New England family pilgrimage, a car-trip from South Dakota to Montana retracing the thousand-mile covered wagon route detailed in their "Grandma's Diary" a century earlier.
