The primary purpose of this website is to inspire would-be travelers. If I’ve succeeded, and you’re ready to start planning a road trip of your own, the best site on the web for that purpose is my personal favorite: RoadTrip America.
R.T.A. offers a wealth of resources for road trippers: a user forum, where any questions you might have will be answered by an informal panel of experts, as well as a searchable archive of forum threads and articles about every route and destination you can think of. They also have a very cool interactive mapping program that pops up unique tidbits of useful information about all the roadside attractions along any highway in North America.
I’ve been a Contributing Writer for RoadTrip America since 2016, and my first assignment was to create some of those Roadside Attraction pop-ups for the Alaska Highway, along with a few more for my home state of Arizona.
Each of the slides in the gallery below contains a link to one of my mini-articles on the R.T.A. site. Check ’em out! Nearly all of them include a link back to this site, although many of those links are to photo galleries that are still being re-constructed, so they’ll simply send you back to my Home Page.
