The Ride So Far:
Tales From the Road and Ruminations From the Garage
by Lance Oliver

life by Lance Oliver.
Whether describing a laid-back ramble along an

just another way to get from here to there. These stories
will inspire you to plan your own adventures and
write your own stories. Hdbd., 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 in., 200 pp., b/w illus.
