  Celebrating the notion that freedom and discovery await us on the open road, this second edition of Road Trip USA lures travelers off the soulless interstates and into the world of the two-lane road with its photogenic Americana. Readers will still find the north-south Road to Nowhere; the east-west Loneliest Road; and the centerpiece Mother Road, Route 66, with directions to offbeat attractions like the neon sign collection in Iowa, the plastic wedding cake figure display in New Mexico, and the Fruitcake Capital of the World in Georgia. In addition to coverage of minor-league baseball, RVing and camping, and motorcycle touring, Jensen offers tips to the best diner apple pies, soda fountains, and out-of-the-way lodgings, and lists the call letters of lively radio stations and toll-free numbers for road conditions -- all the information readers need to create their own driving adventures.
