On Columbus Day 1997 Ken and Priscilla Rhodes quit their jobs, bought an RV and took off to discover America with a plan to see 50 states in 50 weeks and return to their jobs in a year. Three years later, they hobbled home broke but not broken. Hitch a ride in their backseat for a hilarious, adventurous, and sometimes heartbreaking tour of America. Volume One East coast to West coast covers the frightening first year of quitting work, giving up an income, shopping for an RV, and adjusting to life on the road living in a flimsy tin box on wheels, terrifyingly vulnerable to outside elements like hailstorms, tornadoes and thieves.

The 50 States Guide Book is much more than just another book of maps of the United States. This book was made to be something different: to be your guide to each state from the inside. We believe that every state has a story to tell, and we wanted those stories told all in one place. Each state's section is packed with essential and curious information, such as history, current events, facts, trivia, beautiful illustrations, and close-up views of natural and cultural sites of great importance in every state. In addition, you will discover state flags and nicknames, state flowers and birds, and even fun and interesting laws! Each state's map also contains information about its neighbors, borders, and waters.From sea to shining sea, from the arid West Texas to the icy glaciers in Montana, America is one of the largest, most geographically diverse countries in the world. With world-class cities to boot, it's worth exploring every corner of this great nation. Take a browse through the book and learn about all of them!We're sure you'll enjoy reading through our overview of every state, and we had so much fun preparing it for you. Plus, at the end of the book, you will find a gallery of the Presidents of the United States from its foundation to the present day, with dates of presidencies and names! We added this historical bonus just to make our book even more informative and interesting.
