Program Description
Event Details
John Robinson, a former Missouri director of tourism, puts a different spin on the traditional road trip.
Over 13 years, he drove every mile of every road on the Missouri state highway map. With an irreverent
sense of humor--Robinson compares his unconventional journey to mowing a 68,000-square-mile
lawn—he and his car (his only constant companion on this odyssey) discover the real America beyond the
interstate. Real people. Obscure places. Forgotten facts. Whether he's uncovering tombstone histories or
sitting down to a blue plate lunch, Robinson relays his encounters in a relaxed storytelling style.
