Notes From The Road

Up until 1989, I had lived almost my entire life in California. Over the years, I had meet many people who moved to California from other places and they always spoke about how different life in California is from where ever they came from. I began to get curious. From 1989 to 1991, I lived in a 1971 Volkswagen camper van with my dog Ziffle (full name was Arnold Ziffle after the pig in Green Acres for you old TV buffs).

We traveled the country, hitting forty states in two years, visiting museums, meeting people and walking the land. I wrote a series of poems that became a chapbook called Notes From The Road. Enjoy these excerpts.
