In 1994, two brothers, 10 years apart in age, leave rural Vermont and cross the United States in a truck only slightly younger than its passengers. Mutual interest in the American landscape and culture is one of the rare points of agreement as they head south and west, taking two months to reach Los Angeles.
Now, 24 years later, Robby Porter has published the daily journal he kept during their trip. This diary will evoke thoughts of both "I wish I had done that" and "What were they thinking?" It is an American story involving transgressions against wildlife, Texas politics, bad cooking, home remedies, Southern family history, and a friendship almost ruined by falafel.
