Adventures With Daniel

Episode 10 - Motor Camping - Oh, I Mean Overlanding! An overlanding discussion and book review


Listen Later

I greatly enjoyed this book!  The historical photographs and drawings really helped take me back to a time when these adventurous folks were taking on the rutted dirt roads in vehicles built with little more than a windshield and a soft top.  I love imagining what it would have been like since the car was such a new invention.  It was just then becoming affordable to the masses and people were expanding their adventures.  Getting to national parks was now becoming more free than jumping on a train.  You could pack up your gear and your family, make as many stops along the way, stay virtually wherever you wanted, and go back to work again at the end of your vacation time. 

Double bit press did a great job reprinting this book.  Be sure to visit their website doublebitpress.com to purchase the book and other historical reprints!  If you've read this book, share your thoughts with me.  Did you enjoy it as much as I did?  Do you have a desire to jump into one of these vintage rigs outfitted with period correct gear and hit the open road?  Would you have the courage to set out like the folks in did in the 20s?  What was your favorite part of the book?

If you haven't read the book are you encouraged to do so? I sure hope you are!  Be sure to visit my website at adventureswithdaniel.com or email me to discuss this and more or to be on the show.  [email protected].  Thanks so much for listening to my thoughts on "The Motor Camping Book" by Elon Jessup.  Until next time, remember to.....ADVENTURE ON!
