Description
Hard work and taking risks were part of the adventure. On a hot Oklahoma City day in the summer of 1956, Marley and his best friend Stick climbed into a 49 Chrysler and headed for Route 66. Their destination: Seattle, the farthest city away in the United States. With a stack of road maps, a collective worth of less than $300, and boundless determination, they set out on a road trip that would take them through plains and deserts and mountains, finally to lay eyes on the ocean for the first time. Along the way they encountered an assortment of characters both friend and foe, survived a variety of perils, and made new discoveries about each other and about themselves.
