Synopsis "A Year on Interstate 10: Tales From A Roadtrip On America's Southernmost Interstate Highway"
In May of 2015, Lenny Flank left his St Petersburg FL apartment, climbed into a campervan, and set out to live on the road. Over the next five years, he toured most of the continental United States from coast to coast and from border to border. During this time, he journeyed the entire length of Interstate I-10, from Florida to California and everywhere in between. This travelogue is a chronicle of that roadtrip. It reviews just some of the unusual and interesting places and attractions he was able to enjoy visiting, either on I-10 itself or on an easy day trip within a few hours of it, and describes some of their history-everything from national parks to historical sites to museums to odd little sites that only the locals know about. Among them are: America's oldest continuously-occupied city; Florida's forgotten Civil War battlefield; the first airplane to cross the Atlantic-ten years before Charles Lindbergh; the southern cotton plantation that was owned by a former slave; the War of 1812's Battle of New Orleans; NASA's sit-down strike in space; the US Army's Camel Corps; the train robbery at the San Antonio Zoo; the first McDonalds restaurant; the gunfight at the OK Corral; and the family life of Tyrannosaurus rex. Interstate I-10 is a road of contrasts: from muggy wetlands to arid desert, from some of the most conservative states to some of the most liberal, from huge metropolitan districts to the most remote and empty wilderness regions of the country, through a wide variety of local cultures and diverse people. It is a slice of "America". So join Lenny as he spends a year on Interstate I-10 and visits some of its most unique and interesting places. Illustrated.
