Road Trip USA by Jamie Jensen

Professional traveler Jamie Jensen traveled more than 400,000 miles to bring you the best-selling guide Road Trip USA. In this expanded tour of Route 66, Jamie covers the kitschy "Main Street of America," one of the country's first transcontinental highways. From the Meramac Caverns to the wild creatures on display in roadside menageries, this historic route survives, despite being replaced by a high-speed Interstate. From the golden sands and sunshine of Los Angeles to the gritty streets of St. Louis and Chicago, Road Trip USA Route 66 highlights major cities, obscure towns, popular attractions, roadside curiosities, local lore, and oddball trivia on this unforgettable journey into America, then and now.

At a young age, Jamie Jensen was immersed in the culture of road trips. He grew up in Southern California at a time when motorways were still being built, cheeseburgers were a quarter, and every beach had a beachfront amusement park. Jamie began researching and writing Road Trip USA after a three-year spell bumming throughout the country, growing hay in Kansas, and authoring a book for the Grateful Dead. He's driven over 400,000 miles since then in search of the perfect stretch of two-lane blacktop. He rides his bike whenever he can when he isn't crisscrossing the country by car. Jamie resides in New York City, at the east end of the Lincoln Highway, with his wife Catherine and twin sons Tom and Alex.
