Review
Glen and Sue Hanket left jobs, friends and family to embark on a Maine-to-Oregon walk across America. But not just any cross-country trek. They wanted to go on a "litter walk", to leave the roads they walked along a little cleaner for their having passed that way. In the course of their litter-removing American odyssey the discovered the "friendliest town in the country" where total strangers paid for their hotel and provided cross-state taxi services; a haunted health resort where ghostly patients reportedly party; faith healers, fishing dogs, and rusting dinosaurs; villages that time passed by, outposts with no streetlights and no strangers; disappearing customs from milking cows to making maple syrup; and litter that ranged from Bahamian coins to butterfly collections, table saws to television sets, and an unending stream of -- underwear! In Underwear by the Roadside the armchair traveler will join Glen and Sue as they discover the real America, one at odds with the grim picture painted by the evening news, as they travel the land from "sea to shining sea". -- Midwest Book Review
