My Book: In Search of the Meaning of Life: Book Three – The Great Adventure (Part One)

Here’s an excerpt from the first part of my U.S. bicycle adventure of 8,111 miles in 1976-1977 with my friend Bruce:

“The idea of going on adventures captured my imagination ever since the sixth grade when my friend Dan first introduced me to J.R.R.
