Miles to Go fills my heart with the freedom of being back on the
road. Reading Brennen Matthews's story has time traveled my mind to
when I drove Route 66 as a teenager and transported me back to all
the unique places, the rich characters, and the smell of freedom
that only America has to offer. What a joy to feel that once more.
