Most people bring their inner child on an epic adventure. Joe Metal Cowboy Kurmaskie actually took his two kids along.

  • Author: Joe Kurmaskie
  • Softcover; 318 pages; black-and-white photos
  • Break-Away Books; copyright 2006

For a 4,000-mile bicycle ride across America, Joe's 7-year-old son, Quinn, rides a tag-along bike attached to his dad's; and behind that is 5-year-old Enzo in a bike trailer.

Along the way they encounter everything that makes up America--small-town kindness and inner-city heart, wild horses and highway roadkill, a bitter Vietnam vet and a hopeful young inventor, grizzly bears and bison roaming free, cyclists and monstrous RVs, a very peppy cheerleader and a visitation from the ghost of the author's father, horrible traffic and serene dirt roads, a monastery and a distillery, baseball and yes, lots of pies.

By the time they reach Washington DC, two months after leaving Portland, Oregon, they've bonded in a rare way. Kurmaskie writes, "We share a secret, the three of us; one permanent summer in our hearts now, where we're never apart."

Made in USA.
