As someone who has roadtripped and moved across the country several times, I liked this book -- and even recognized some of the stops from my trips. The photographs of empty rest stops were eerie and a bit post-apocalyptic.

This photoessay does focus heavily on the west and southwest, not venturing much further east than Iowa -- rest stops in Ohio and Pennsylvania (where I travel most now) are always bustling and full of far too many people.
