Road Trip!: Chasing blue skies on roads that go forever. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615771977)

A friend of mine asked me, "What kind of idiot would drive a thousand miles to drive a thousand miles, to drive a thousand miles home?" The answer, apparently, is one like me. Exactly like me, in fact.That is the spirit that launched most of the adventures in this book. Road Trip captures the author's quest for new places to see in old cars that are not quite suited for the task. In most cases, the spirit was way in front of the planning.It also accurately depicts the typical thorough thought process that precedes a departure. There is nothing so liberating yet useless as a Road Trip. A Road Trip is one with no purpose other than the going. If one is moving to a new job or going off to college or to a new home, it is not a Road Trip; it has a purpose. In order to be a real Road Trip, the trip itself must be the purpose...and, just to be clear, driving an old car home after buying it, rather than shipping it, cannot be construed as a purpose- rather it is a clear choice. It is a choice to make a Road Trip.Welcome to some of Ross' favorite Road Trips
