More byways, less highways: embrace the freedom of the road and go on great American adventures. When it comes to the great outdoors, the USA has it all: wild mountains, vast prairies, otherworldly canyons, barren deserts and tropical forests. And there is no better way to explore them than that all-American activity: the road trip. The Great American Road Trip is a new appreciation of the grand tradition in the tracks of Jack Kerouac. The book leads beyond magnificent landscapes and seeks out the history, the culture, the food, and the people. Retrace the Underground Railroad. Follow the Blues Highway. Go on a pilgrimage to the best lobster shacks. The Great American Road Trip encourages readers to explore hinterlands, and to start an adventure that turns the mythical into the experienced. The road awaits.weiterlesen
