Trying to reclaim a buried treasure before it’s lost forever underneath a lake, the three make their way to Everett's homestead. Along the way, they meet a conniving one-eyed Bible salesman, a blind prophet, a trio of sexy sirens, and a man who sold his soul to the devil. In their race to reach the treasure before it's flooded, they end up crashing a Ku Klux Klan lynch mob, help a sensitive Baby-Face Nelson rob three banks in two hours, and even have enough time to put out a best selling record as "The Soggy Bottom Boys.". .

When a wildfire destroyed her home and worldly possessions in the hills above Los Angeles, it didn8217t take Megan Edwards long to recognize an opportunity. It took her husband a little longer (8220Give me five minutes to grieve8221), but they were both soon planning to make the most of their sudden 8220stufflessness8221 and hit the road. They did so a few months later in a freshly built four-wheel-drive motorhome that was even more unusual because of the office in the back instead of a bedroom. This all happened back when 8220Internet8221 had not yet entered the lexicon but 8220email8221 had. The mobile office would allow Edwards to file stories with the newspapers she wrote for by cell phone. That was the idea, at least. At the beginning of 1994, cell service was patchy, unreliable, and expensive.They also thought they8217d be traveling for six months or so, when, they believed, they8217d settle down and get back to normal. But five years and thousands of miles later, they were still on the road. In that time, they8217d watched the Internet grow from a mysterious fad prized by people in remote locales into an unstoppable universal phenomenon. They started a website, RoadTripAmerica.com, to share road tripping tips and ideas. Slowly, their dream of being 8220at work, at home, and on the road, all at the same grand time8221 became a reality.This edition marks the twentieth anniversary of Edwards8217s memoir, which was first released in 1999. At its heart a story of making lemonade when life gives you lemons, this memoir is also a riveting and at times hilarious look at the early years of the World Wide Web. With a new introduction by the author and a foreword by Chris Epting, enjoy an armchair adventure across North America when the Internet was young. This edition also includes 22 photos dating from when the author lived on the road.
