What A Long Strange Trip It’s Been: The Story of RoadTripAmerica.com
RoadTripAmerica.com was born on Valentine’s Day, 1996, making it the oldest roadtrip-related site on the Web. The last 13 years have been a roller coaster ride for founders Mark Sedenquist and Megan Edwards, bringing them adventures across the continent, coverage in print media from the Los Angeles Times to People magazine, numerous radio and television appearances, the publication of two books, and a world-wide audience. In addition to chronicling the oh-so-slightly nutty history of RTA, Megan provides tips for aspiring writers and hilarious images from her latest book, ‘Caution: Funny Signs Ahead.’
