Freedom Voyages Volume 2: Go West! From the Loneliest Road in America to California's Gold Country is a travelog of an eight-day road trip through the American West. The journey starts in Colorado, then goes west through Utah, into Nevada along "The Loneliest Road in America," and around Lake Tahoe before touring some of northern California's Gold Rush towns such as Placerville, Auburn, Grass Valley, Nevada City, Downieville, and Quincy. The trip continues north through Susanville and Alturas, California, and briefly touches Oregon before returning home to Colorado.
Why do we all enjoy road trips? Because we experience Freedom on a road trip. We all know that. But there's more. A road trip occurs at ground level, allowing us to identify what we too often overlook in these "fly-over" times. By experiencing America from the road, we see the country's ordinary features: main streets, farms, homes, diners, railways, highways, warehouses, river barges, grain elevators, factories, offices, taverns, shops, parks, schools, churches - these features are the essential facets of America that provide us a truly exceptional life. This book is a road trip for those who can't take road trips themselves, want to see America from afar, or for those who just love America. "You capture the heart and spirit of America as you take us on the journey with you." -- Barbara Ann, Florida. "Seibel's books are an encomium to the freedom that the automobile affords ordinary Americans to see and admire the goodness that still abides in our national character." - Ken, Maryland. "Beautiful presentation of a Road Trip and Photography. The book is easy to read and follow along with, as Tim takes you along on his real-life road trip. Not only was it informative of the towns and county courthouses he visited, but it made me want to go on a road trip myself!" - Marisa, Colorado
