Zero Avenue to Peace Park: Confidence and Collapse on the 49th Parallel

HorizonsUnlimited description:

A few years ago Trevor Marc Hughes travelled solo on his motorcycle along a remote northern British Columbia highway, meeting people, seeing places and getting to know his home province. He wrote about this adventure in "Nearly 40 on the 37: triumph and trepidation on the Stewart-Cassiar Highway".

Now Hughes is back with a new adventure: "Zero Avenue to Peace Park: Confidence and Collapse on the 49th Parallel". This time he is joined by Wes Taylor, a motorcyclist from Colorado that Hughes met on his solo trip, and their route takes them east along the Canada-US border. As they explore the roads and communities they also look at how that border has shaped who they are and how it defined adventure for those who carved out the paths they were now riding together.

"Zero Avenue to Peace Park: Confidence and Collapse on the 49th Parallel" is a humorous, real-life travel story for adventurers of all stripes: those who want to travel the open road and those who just want to soak up the atmosphere and history of the small communities and ghost towns along the way.
