Roadtrip-'62

A blog of a virtual tour of the U. S. of A. ROADTRIP-'62 ™ is different from other travel sites: everybody else travels only in space, but we also travel in time! That's right, we don't just go somewhere, we also go somewhen. And the when is 1962. We'll try to see what's left today from 1962, by driving as if it were 1962. We will drive on highways as they were in 1962, try to eat only at restaurants that existed in 1962, try to stay only at motels that existed in 1962, try to buy gas and sundr...

A blog of a virtual tour of the U. S. of A. ROADTRIP-'62 ™ is different from other travel sites: everybody else travels only in space, but we also travel in time! That's right, we don't just go somewhere, we also go somewhen. And the when is 1962. We'll try to see what's left today from 1962, by driving as if it were 1962. We will drive on highways as they were in 1962, try to eat only at restaurants that existed in 1962, try to stay only at motels that existed in 1962, try to buy gas and sundries, play the music, see only the sites across America, and just generally live in America as it was in 1962! What we will do is enjoy the FUN of cross-country driving. And the fun of cross-country travel is all the differences from our everyday life! We'll talk about politics, food, great inventions, how people lived, television, and more. We'll get to see some of the people that made our history; that made this country great. We'll stumble across unexpected pleasures, like one trip I made through Cherokee, North Carolina where I just happened to be in town as the 1996 Olympic Torch procession came through on it's way to Atlanta, Georgia. You really never know what you'll find when you travel!
