Ride with them as they decide to hitchhike over 2000 miles back across the country. A true, wild and wonderful, "only in America" adventure ensues. Experience 1961 Las Vegas through the boys' eyes. Encounter a Santa Fe Bull. Get their take on Blaze Starr. Hop a freight train across two states. Find out how Dango got his name. Discover an America of wide open roads and wide open people. See the positive relations between races before the America of assassinations and riots in the later '60s. Not only do the boys learn about their country, but they also begin to learn more about themselves. It's a classic new "road story" and a revealing "new coming of age" tale. Every new ride, a new story. It's about a Freedom, we are not likely to see again.
"Exciting, warm, funny, touching. and tragic. A can't miss trip for all ages looking to experience the innocent and guilty pleasures of the early '60s." Bill Harris, Entertainment Tonight
