A 75 year-old grandfather sets out on his motorcycle to see America up-close. Selling his home and storing his belongings, he begins a 50,000 mile journey through America's maze of hamlets, villages, towns and cities looking for the pulse of its people and beauty of its vast and remarkable landscape. The book had its beginning as email letters to relatives and friends describing his journey, a journey filled with a joyful spirit as he followed the yellow line.
