From their faithful camper van to boats, kayaks, bicycles, and motorbikes, join stars of Outlander Sam and Graham on a road trip with a difference, as two Scotsmen explore a land of raw beauty, poetry, feuding, music, history, and warfare. Unlikely friends Sam and Graham begin their journey in the heart of Scotland at Glencoe - the site of a great massacre and major clan feud - and travel from there all the way to Inverness and Culloden battlefield, where along the way they experience adventure and a cast of highland characters. In this story of friendship, finding themselves, and whisky, they discover the complexity, rich history, and culture of their native country.

Kari Baesel

Hello friends, my name is Kari Baesel, and I’m the facility manager at Meadowbrook Park Clubhouse. I’ve been working for the County for over 14 years and spend my time overseeing the Clubhouse, 50 Plus Programs in the Overland Park area and our travel programs. After graduating from Emporia State University with a degree in Recreation, I spent five years working in Florida at a private resort in Key Largo. Being the Recreation Manager at the resort allowed me to offer a wide range of fun programs and events to families on vacation. When I moved back to Kansas, I started my career with Johnson County Park and Recreation District. The aspect of my job I love the most is seeing our participants enjoying life and having fun! In my free time I love spending time with my husband and 2 sons, traveling and reading a good book. If you are in the area, please stop by and say Hi.
