A great visit with fans of road trips, urban exploration, and epic adventures. We visited with people about Scotland and talked about UK road trips, and Midsomer Murders. We talked with an author about the Jefferson Highway, Winnepeg to New Orleans, and with several folks about the Lincoln Highway. And we talked about the Route 66 centennial, good pie, great restaurants, Jay Leno and ... 
Well, you get the idea. On today's program, a shared adventure, we did what we do best at Jim Hinckley's America. We shared America's story, and we inspired road trips by telling people where to go.
