I wrote 83 Odyssey not just to share a great road trip experience, but to inform readers about a fascinating old highway that runs near the geographic center of the U.S. from the Canadian to the Mexican border. U.S. 83 is one of the original U.S. Highways, and this system of highways was the nation's first national road system, which will reach its 100th anniversary in 2026. I'm hoping that my book will also draw more attention to this significant anniversary and other old highways besides U.S. 83; and that readers will discover that the Great Plains region I traveled the whole length of is far more interesting and beautiful than commonly perceived. Some may even be inspired to make a similar journey after learning many things about the region. charlesroamerauthor.com
