THURSDAY, September 20th at 7pm: DON'T MAKE ME PULL OVER! Concludes

This week: we make one final visit to that golden era of car broiled food; unfamiliar beds; and that strange and memorable bonding that happens when a family travels together over miles of open road.

Caledonia presents more selections from Richard Ratay's informal history of the family road trip: part historical and part reminiscence, live in voice.

NOTE:  Don't forget to share your own memories on notecards and put them in the red box on the desk, so Cale can consider sharing them next week.

THURSDAY, September 13th at 7pm: DON'T PULL OVER Continues

This week: where were we staying and what were we eating as we barrelled down the freshly paved interstate to destinations unknown and only imagined?  Enterprise, innovation, and straight out American moxey are part and parcel of the stories of the golden era of the road trip.

THURSDAY, September 6th at 7pm: DON'T MAKE ME PULL OVER! Begins

In the days before cheap air travel, families in America didn’t so much take vacations as survive them. Between home and destination lay  hundreds – perhaps thousands of miles of road, and dozens of annoyances.

During his childhood, Richard Ratay experienced all of them; from being crowded into the back seat with noogie-happy older brothers, to picking out a souvenir only to find that a better one might have been had at the next attraction, to dealing with a dad who didn’t believe in bathroom breaks.
