It was a fantastic experience, driving across America (old Route 66) from Baltimore to Palo Alto in the summer of ‘81. I’d left my home town London to work as a counsellor at a camp for disabled kids in Thompson Pennsylvania and met and fell in love with Mieke from Zwolle. After camp, four of us (Mieke, her girfriend Annemies, and her newlyfound boyfriend Howard from Arcata California) headed west in a Dodge Dart that we had to deliver to its owner. It could have been a disaster but it was the most exhilarating experience I’ve ever had. Would recommend it to anyone. Don’t stay too long in one-horse towns though, the ghost of Easy Rider is still alive and kicking.
