Abstract:
This day-by-day journal will take the armchair traveler or the free-spirited adventurer on an exciting, educational, romantic, and sometimes dangerous tour of western America. After nine months of arduous fourteen-hour days, seven days a week, to restore his family’s home in Mandeville, LA, after it was ravaged by the fury of Hurricane Katrina, Skip Harrison packed up and rode off on his motorcycle to clear is mind and free his soul. His mostly solo odyssey lasted for nearly seven weeks, covered over ten thousand miles, and touched twenty-two states. Meet the real people and visit the real places that make exploring America worthwhile.
