Where will the road take YOU? "I woke up as the sun was reddening; and that was the one distinct time in my life, the strangest moment of all, when I didn't know who I was — I was far away from home, haunted and tired with travel, in a cheap hotel room I'd never seen, hearing the hiss of steam outside, and the creak of the old wood of the hotel, and footsteps upstairs, and all the sad sounds, and I looked at the cracked high ceiling and really didn't know who I was for about fifteen strange seconds."
"Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road."
— Jack Kerouac ~ "On the Road"

All accessories are original and carefully hand-crafted in rural northern Illinois near the convergence of the Fox and Illinois Rivers in LaSalle County, about an hour from Chicago. We're on a gravel road outside of a prison town (and a former training center for Chester Fried Chicken). Pretty swank!
