Book excerpt: On Columbus Day 1997 Ken and Priscilla Rhodes quit their jobs, bought an RV and took off to discover America with a plan to see 50 states in 50 weeks and return to their jobs in a year. Three years later, they hobbled home broke but not broken. Hitch a ride in their backseat for a hilarious, adventurous, and sometimes heartbreaking tour of America. Volume One East coast to West coast covers the frightening first year of quitting work, giving up an income, shopping for an RV, and adjusting to life on the road living in a flimsy tin box on wheels, terrifyingly vulnerable to outside elements like hailstorms, tornadoes and thieves.
