On the Road with Kerouac -50 years ago today

Los Angeles, California

Thanks to our friend Larry for pointing out the synchronicity of starting our cross-country road trip on the day of the 50th anniversary of the publication of Beat writer Jack Kerouac's "On the Road". This tome was typed on one continuous sheet of paper, which I got to see at the spiffy San Francisco Public Library a few years ago with friend Eugenie M.

Wikipedia can fill you in if you missed Kerouac and his work the first 20 times around:
