HITCHHIKING ADVENTURES-This modern-day Huck Finn-like adventure-only true-tells about two 16-year-old boys who run into unexpected circumstances while hitchhiking coast-to-coast. The boys find fun and freedom while covering over 7,000 miles of America, including stories of near-death and other incredible eye-opening experiences sprinkled with humor. Challenged with little money, they solely depended on the generosity and compassion of others to provide rides and sometimes more.

Robert Drake is a lifelong thrill seeker who has fond memories of hitchhiking across America in 1970 when he was sixteen. He lives in New Jersey.
