Ride along with author Tom Cotter and photographer Michael Alan Ross as they pilot their Ford Bronco/Airstream Basecamp combination 8,881 miles along the lower 48's back roads and byways.
Tom Cotter has spent decades ferreting out lost "barn find" collector cars. The process has made him an ardent road tripper, logging thousands of miles every year on America's back roads. Previous journeys have traced Route 66 in his 1939 Ford Woody wagon and followed the Lincoln highway coast to coast behind the wheel of a 1926 Model T.
Cotter's journeys led him to wonder: What could be the most epic American road trip? The answer: Key West, Florida, to Deadhorse, Alaska, its thousands of miles recounted in America's Greatest Road Trip. Cotter and Ross drove across the country, through British Columbia and the Yukon, and finally through Alaska to the literal end of the road. Ross documented their road time in thousands of photographs.
Along the way, the pair met fellow road trippers, adventurers, small-town Americans, world travelers, and rolled through an ever-changing geography from the Gulf of Mexico to the Mississippi Delta to the Great Plains and Mountain states through the Northwest Passage and finally several hundred miles of Alaska's challenging ALCAN Highway.
Cotter's observations of Two-Lane America are complemented by Ross's beautiful photography capturing both the sweep and the detail of life off the beaten path.
Join them on their once-in-a-lifetime journey—you'll be glad you came along for the ride.

      Automotive/racing expert Cotter and photographer Ross, coauthors of Route 66 Barn Find Road Trip, partner again to chronicle their nearly 9,000-mile trip from Key West, FL, to Deadhorse, AK. Traveling in a Ford Bronco that pulls an Airstream trailer, the two stick as much as possible to two-lane roads. They visit small towns, local businesses, attractions such as the World's Largest Ball of Twine in Cawker City, KS, and museums. They stop whenever an antique auto, tractor, or unusual machine catches their eye; the book is understandably heavy on vehicle facts. They're also consistently on the lookout for a good cup of coffee. Along the way, they view spectacular scenery, from the wide-open plains to the mountains and the tundra. They believe that everyone they meet has an interesting story, so they collect tales from business owners, waitresses, farmers, race-car drivers, oil-rig workers, fellow travelers, and more. Cotter's text is enhanced by Ross's beautiful color photographs of the places they visit and the people they interview. The combination sweeps readers into their adventures. VERDICT This engaging, epic, well-documented trip will appeal to car aficionados, road trippers, and readers interested in travel memoirs, small towns, farming, or Americana.--Sue O'Brien
