In The Middle Of Somewhere - Laptop Dispatches From The Heartland (Paperback)

They started as simple trails and used by the Native Americans as trading and migration routes. The paths were the lifelines of a people who traveled long distances on their feet. Later, rough roads followed along these traces. Horses, wagons and supplies helped carry the settlers westward toward the open lands of the mid-west and onto California. Today, with the abundance of cars, the interstates, highways and byways are still the tracks over which millions of travellers continue to roam. Every farm road, mountain pass, and motel-lined state roadway, like the classic American highway, Route 66, has an abundance of countless legends and storied journeys. This volume is a modern road saga. The author and his wife buy a small RV trailer and set out to cross the country to visit their grandson. Along the way, blogs substitute for postcards and letters to friends. As the journey unfolds, the couple finds new friends and old family. They see the nation was it should be seen, from behind a steering wheel, with one eye on the road and the other on the lookout for the next gas station.
