About the Author: Jamie Jensen has been immersed in road-trip culture from an early age, thanks to a childhood spent drinking drive-in milk shakes and riding roller coasters in Los Angeles--before everything was torn down. After dropping in and out of college, Jamie took a three-year odyssey hitchhiking around the country, making hay in Kansas, painting houses in Boston, sailing boats on the Chesapeake Bay, and living in the storeroom of a Manhattan music studio. He returned to California and earned a degree in Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley, then moved to England, where he began writing about America. He now lives with his wife Catherine and restless twins Tom and Alex in Davis, California, at the west end of US-50. |
