Eagle Nest, New Mexico, 2012. “People like to drive because driving is actually and symbolically an almost perfect mechanism for escape…there is probably no human being who does not have troubles, real or imagined, from which he at times feels the need to flee.” George R. Stewart.

  1. The orange truck in Nevada City was mine! I just wanted to let you know that it's a 1972 Ford F250, not F100, and that delicious color it's painted is called Calypso Coral.
