If he wanted to explore the roads of the remaining wildernesses meet ordinary people behind the click - bait news posts then this year - before the 2024 election - was the year to do it. Travelling at a cyclist's pace tag teamed by inquisitive birds of prey staying with old acquaintances in towns and farmlands visiting rodeos churches cook - outs and diners he found a land and a people of huge generosity but also of both immense consumption poverty and disenfranchisement.
