Over the next 35 days they camped in National Parks, State Parks, and RV Parks. They stayed in hotels, motels, a cabin on a lake, and a 1913 Gambrel cottage-style mansion. They followedáscenic byways, highways, two-lane roads, the Outlaw Trail, the Oregon Trail, and the Lewis & Clark Trail, hitting the highlights &ndash, and the low-lights &ndash, of America&rsquo,s westward expansion. With a thirst for knowledge and frosty treats, they searched for, and found, what makes this country beautiful and unique.They also: drank in a mermaid bar in Montana slept with bison &ndash, and survived met a man named Lizard stepped on the center of the universe almost stepped on the center of the U.S.A. escaped a rattlesnake &ndash, twice fed horsies petted alpacas chased an eagle did not degrade the surface did not kill each other In this epic, eyes-wide-open love letter to America, little is planned, much is ventured, and everything is gained.
