Synopsis
Not since William Least Heat-Moon’s “Blue Highways” has a travel documentary been so dear to America’s heart. The writer travels the country on two long journeys thirty-seven year’s apart. His sense of adventure and love of travel is addictive. Maintaining journals on both trips, he provides amazing detail about the heart and soul of America.
On the first trip in 1962, he and three friends hitchhiked to the World’s Fair in Seattle from San Diego. The exhibits and the people are described in a manner which makes the reader feel as if he or she is there. After a grizzly bear scare in Canada, they pushed east to Calgary, Alberta, and then south through Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Nevada. Still traveling by thumb, they experienced the excitement of rugged mountains, the astounding beauty of Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks and the caring and kindness of people who blessed them with food and lodging as their journey progressed to fulfillment.
Years later, on the trail of memories, our writer begins his month-long journey in Denver, Colorado, and traveled 5600 miles by car in a figure-eight trip through twelve Western states and three Canadian Provinces. He traveled alone, camping or sleeping in his car. He had several risky adventures, which fortunately, did not turn into disasters. He wanted to see how America had changed in almost four decades. His love of travel, food and scenic beauty shows as he meets and befriends people of all walks-of-life. Both journeys are geographically accurate for those who love to travel or love to read about travel.
