This latter book featured a great many quotes relating to travel generally.
The original book was the story of an odyssey through the USA on back roads. It's a fascinating look at the USA's lesser known areas.
During his 13000 mile, 3 month trip Least Heat-Moon must have averaged about 150 miles a day so bearing in mind the nature of the roads and the likely occasional need to avoid any refugees from a Stephen King backwoods horror novel, it is clear he didn’t hang around a great deal – mostly it was staying the night then moving on.
