“In the Tire Tracks of a Pioneer: Across the Great Basin Desert” is in the December 2017 issue of RoadRUNNER Magazine. This is the second of a five-part series on George A Wyman, who in 1903 became the first person to cross the country on a motorcycle (or any type of motor vehicle, actually). Part one covered Wyman’s departure from San Francisco and his arrival in Reno. This part crosses the Great Basin Desert of Nevada, goes across the top of the Great Salt Lake in Utah, and ends in Ogden.
If you don’t already subscribe to the magazine (you should), head on over to your nearest Barnes & Noble or other fine bookseller and look for a copy on the magazine rack. And as you pick it up and admire it, be sure to say in a loud voice to anyone standing nearby, “My that’s one handsome man on the cover of this fine publication!”
Thanks for coming along for the ride.
