Today's program is road trip inspiration on steroids! Our special guest is adventurer Tom Cotter, author of America's Greatest Road Trip: Key West to Deadhorse - 9,000 Miles Across Backroads USA.
In this book, and in our conversation, we discuss the infectious magic of the road trip that is the fascinating people met along the way. We also talk about the merits of the new Ford Bronco and Airstream trailer, the benefits of owning a Model A Ford, traveling the historic Lincoln Highway in a Model T Ford, legendary barn finds, adventures on Route 66 and the reasons that old Ford trucks in Canada are badged as Mercury. As our theme song by The Road Crew says, come along for the ride.

It is also sponsored in part by the delightful Roadrunner Lodge in Tucumcari, New Mexico, the iconic Wagon Wheel Motel in Cuba, Missouri, and the charming oasis that is the Cactus Inn Motel and RV Park in McLean, Texas. And if you never outgrew juvenile humor, can a Route 66 odyssey be considered complete without a stop at Uranus Fudge Company & General Store?
