We were seeing France as few tourists see it, from the back roads and in the small villages which only French tourists see, if tourists see it at all. No trains stop in these villages, but we'd see occasional bus stops. We rode through villages in which no tourist car ever stops, only weary bicyclists. We were living for a few hours or a few days in villages with no Eiffel Tower, no Louvre, no attractions at all except the French themselves and their way of life. No one spoke English, not the waiters, nor the bartenders, nor the folks we met at the campgrounds. We didn't quite realize we were having an experience few will ever have and fewer still will attempt. To phrase it another way, we were tourists spending little or nothing on transportation, gasoline, lodging, guides and museums. We were spending most of our time pedaling along country roads lined with vineyards, out in the sunshine or rain, and spending our money eating in small restaurants where no Americans ever eat and sitting in sidewalk cafés drinking local wines and watching the daily life of the real France.

Make it last. Save for a rainy day. Do you need it? Can you afford it? Can you do without it? Don't throw it out. We might need it someday. These are truisms handed down from members of the Greatest Generation - the ones who invented and built refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, rocket ships, calculators, and solar energy. They were into recycling and repurposing before those things even had a name. How did they become the people they were? What events shaped the way they thought and acted? Here are stories about growing up during the Great Depression and the Second World War as told by those who remember. Collected in this book are the experiences of a European immigrant girl, a Dust Bowl Okie, farm children and the ones who saw locusts (and other insects) swarm over the land. They were tough times, and the people who came of age in those years are remarkable people. Come hear their stories and find out what it was like when life was "Uphill and Against the Wind Both Ways".

It's 1973. Our nation is torn apart by the Vietnam War, and the massacre of unarmed students at Kent State. The Vice President has resigned for bribery and tax evasion. The President is being investigated for engaging in criminal activity. At twenty-three, David Reed has become embittered by political strife and corruption. Disenchanted with his future, he wants out. Along with new friends, Rusty and Susie, David leaves everything he knows to cross the United States with little more than his bicycle and a camera. The trio gets more than they bargain for, with menacing animals, extreme weather, and astonishing encounters. Uphill and Into the Wind recounts an odyssey that spans 5420 miles on bicycles. It chronicles the sudden and surprising glories of nature, the raw beauty of the land, and the majesty of the mountains. But that is just the start. Through it all, the three are changed forever, in ways they did not expect, by their long journey into the unknown.
