When Kevin Barry turned sixty, his internal alarm clock went off. It was time. Thirty-plus years after his previous cross-country road trips, after the demands of raising a family and a long legal career had worn low the tread on his psychological tires, he could no longer ignore the itch.

When Kevin Barry turned sixty, his internal alarm clock went off. It was time. Thirty-plus years after his previous cross-country road trips, after the demands of raising a family and a long legal career had worn low the tread on his psychological tires, he could no longer ignore the itch. So he took an extended leave from work, upgraded his camping gear, and hit the open road. For the next sixty-seven days, he and his beloved Subaru (a.k.a. Subi), with guidance from his GPS guardian angel (a.k.a. Sweetie), traveled 11,007 miles, music blaring, on a schedule meant to be modified by impulse and whimsy (or blinding rain). By keeping his snoot to the ground and his eyes and heart wide open, Barry finds his way to beautiful places and wonderful people in unsuspecting nooks and crannies across America. In Counterclockwise: A USA Road Trip , Barry takes readers along on adventures big and small, from nostalgic reunions with old friends to a canoe rescue on Michigan's Lower Platte River and a breathtaking bald eagle sighting in Alberton, Montana; from late-night chats with fellow campers to a desperate search for lodging in Las Vegas. Woven throughout is Barry's immense enjoyment of freedom on the road and his profound love for this magnificent, complicated nation.
