Sounds like a good read Larry.
I love books on tape when traveling or when I used to have a long commute.

and I listened to one once about a guy that hiked the Appalachian trail that
was a real good one. Another about the first cross country automobile trip.

One of my all time favorite stories I have only seen in a movie though, it's
titled Straight Talk. About an old man that rides his john Deere lawn
tractor several hundred miles to see his brother. It's just a really good
wholesome story.

I'll look and see if I can find Blue Highways one of these days
