The book is about two young people breaking societal restrictions and embarking on a trip of adventure of 12,000 miles, first to Alaska and then to Mexico. Follow us on the Alcan Highway, 1200 miles of gravel road, pan for gold and hunt wolves for bounty. Go with us to San Francisco and eat some chocolate cake with the Manson family, and get stopped in Vegas for vagrancy.See some of this through the eyes of a 50 year old diary and compare the worlds of then and now.
