Go for it. I am doing similar road trips but in India. There is something heady about being on the road – especially in India where a lot of stuff is a revelation.

I agree, it really didn’t seem dated to me either, especially considering the year.

Thanks Sherri and Ron.

I’m about halfway through the book but it is interesting to get Steinbeck’s observations of people, and consider that this was in 1960 but doesn’t seem dated at all from reading it in my opinion.

Hi Richard,

My sister gave me that book a number of years ago just as I was heading out in my camper on a long photo trip. It was cool, I was reading his chapters on Montana and areas around there as I was passing through myself. Great book.

Love this post Richard! Your dream trip sounds like something I would like to do, as well as traveling Route 66. John Steinbeck is also one of my favorite authors! I haven’t read that book though.

Thanks for sharing and reminding me of all the places I have not yet traveled to.
