Book Description: My dad and two of his friends made an auto trip to the west starting from Grand Rapids, Michigan and touring Yellowstone National Park, then south to Bryce Canyon, to Santa Fe and back to their home state. They trio did not leave much detail of their trip in 1929, but the families managed to save about fifty photographs, thus allowing the author to relive the trip. The journey covered about 4000 miles and took 17 days.
The contrast in the comforts of travel then and now are striking. It makes one wonder how we existed without the cell phone, let alone motels, maps, spare tires, gasoline availability--- the list goes on.
The book, consisting of about 100 pages and 64 illustrations, was published in 2019 and is available on Amazon.
