"America's Greatest Road Trip!" by Tom Cotter

Ride along with author Tom Cotter and photographer Michael Alan Ross as they pilot their Ford Bronco towing an Airstream Basecamp on an epic, 8,881-mile roadtrip from Key West to Alaska. "America's Greatest Road Trip!" is an ode to the joy of hitting the road, and a chronicle of Cotter and Ross's attempt to travel across the lower 48 and make the journey to the northern reaches of the country.

Tom Cotter has spent decades ferreting out lost “barn find” collector cars – a process that's 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. With an Airstream Basecamp in tow, 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 that are featured in this gorgeous, full-color book.

Along the way, the pair met fellow road trippers, adventurers, small-town Americans, and world travelers while rolling 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 across 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.
