Have you ever had the desire to quit your boring-ass job and do something epic like travel the country in an RV? Have you ever wanted to give your family a once-in-a-lifetime adventure they will remember forever? Have you ever wanted to live in a trailer with sixteen square foot bathroom? If you answered "YES " to any of these questions, this is the book for you Jason Robillard, author of "The Barefoot Running Book" and "Never Wipe Your Ass with a Squirrel," and his wife Shelly quit their high school teacher jobs to travel the country as barefoot ultrarunner hobos. They spent three years living in a thirty-four foot RV with their three small children and niece. Jason documents their travels and initiates frank discussions about the many pros and cons of this truly unorthodox lifestyle. Jason covers topics like managing the stinkiness of "black water," how to prepare meals in a kitchen that could fit in a bath tub, and how to effectively have sex in a "house" the shakes mercilessly. No topic is taboo in this honest and occasionally explicit account of one family's grand adventure.

In the first years of the twentieth century, motoring across the vast expanses west of the Mississippi was at the very least an adventure and at most an audacious stunt. As more motorists ventured forth, such travel became a curiosity and, within a few decades, commonplace. For aspiring western travelers, automobiles formed an integral part of their search for new experiences and destinations - and like explorers and thrill seekers from earlier ages, these adventurers kept records of their experiences. The scores of articles, pamphlets, and books they published, collected for the first time in Motoring West, create a vibrant picture of the American West in the age of automotive ascendancy, as viewed from behind the wheel. Documenting the very beginning of Americans' love affair with the automobile, the pieces in this volume - the first of a planned multivolume series - offer a panorama of motoring travelers' visions of the burgeoning West in the first decade of the twentieth century. Historian Peter J. Blodgett's sources range from forgotten archives to company brochures to magazines such as Harper's Monthly, Sunset, and Outing. Under headlines touting adventures in ""touring,"" ""land cruising,"" and ""camping out with an automobile,"" voices from motoring's early days instruct, inform, and entertain. They chart routes through ""wild landscapes,"" explain the finer points of driving coast to coast in a Franklin, and occasionally prescribe ""touring outfits."" Blodgett's engaging introductions to the volume and each piece couch the writers' commentaries within their time. As reports of the region's challenges and pleasures stirred interest and spurred travel, the burgeoning flow of traffic would eventually and forever alter the western landscape and the westering motorist's experience. The dispatches in Motoring West illustrate not only how the automobile opened the American West before 1909 to more and more travelers, but also how the West began to change with their arrival.
