"People don't take trips. Trips take people." At the conclusion of his trip across America, John Steinbeck makes this erudite comment about vacations. In September, 1960 Mr. Steinbeck and his French poodle, Charley, journeyed across America in a camper truck he named after Don Quixote's horse. As a writer, he wanted to experience first hand the people about whom he would write. He gives an excellent tour of own country, its people, its natural beauty, and its changing face, making insightful comments along the way. If you need a vacation, this could be it.
