On the Road with... James Teitelbaum Tiki Bar Expert & Author of Tiki Road Trip Silence and Vandalism on the Loneliest Road in America Headed east out of Reno on U.S. Route 50, James Teitelbaum encounters a wasteland.

On the Road with... Suzanne & Craig Sheumaker Authors of America's Living History - The Early Years Beyond the Grand Canyon: 4 Sensational Side Trips Many road trippers head into the Southwest with a single mission: to see the Grand Canyon. They are so intent on looking out over the Canyon's grand vistas that they skip other attractions along the way. Suzanne and Craig Sheumaker have a different mission: to introduce four of the Canyon's close neighbors and give visitors reason to pause a little longer in this extraordinary region...[Read the article.] |
On the Road with... Chris Epting Pop Culture Historian & Author of Led Zeppelin Crashed Here Top Ten Rock and Roll Places Rock and roll, despite its infamous reputation for mayhem and property destruction, has a surprising number of historic landmarks that didn't just survive-they thrive. Given rock and roll's status as a genuine, homegrown American product, like baseball it enjoys a growing number of wanderers who love hitting the road in search of the landmarks that define the art (myself included). So as a sampling from my new book, here are my Top 10 hits; ten places every rock and roll connoisseur should hit at some point in their travels…[More] |
On the Road with... Troy Paiva Photographer & Author of Lost America Photo Safari: 4,360 Miles in Five Days At last, the mega road-trip I've been waiting for. The run begins southbound from my suburban San Francisco Bay Area home on a warm Saturday morning then due east at Bakersfield. Alone, I am chasing the ghosts of the American road, wandering the western highways for as long as I can, covering as many miles as I can. Before I know it, I've driven 975 miles in 14 hours...[More] |
On the Road with... Chris Epting Author & cultural historian A Few of My Favorite Things... As summer approaches, we begin the always-fun task of looking over maps deciding where to drive off and explore. What is it that we want to see? What do we want the kids to experience? Will it be a return to a favorite place, a new exploration or a combination of the two? We all have our stories of classic must-visit sites that we pass along to each other and so I thought I'd take a little space here to recommend a few places I discovered while researching and writing my latest book, The Ruby Slippers, Madonna's Bra and Einstein's Brain: The Locations of America's Pop Culture Artifacts. ...[More] |
On the Road with... Chris Epting Author & cultural historian There Used to Be a Ballpark... So what if gas prices are high? To a road tripper, that merely means being a bit more selective in where you choose to go. So with the weather warming up, what better time to start planning those spring and summer road trips? For a baseball fan, there's no better time to grab a map, a good guidebook, and friends or family to set off in search of baseball, both past and present...[More] |

North Bay residents think of their little hamlet as being part of southern Canada (just barely: it is nicknamed "the gateway to the north"). Aside from being a picturesque vacation spot that gets busy during July and August, the area is probably best known as the place where the Dionne quintuplets were born...[More] |
