REAL OFF-ROAD ADVENTURE TRAVEL STORIES

Short Stories of Outdoor Travel and Adventure from Alaska to Australia

Photojournalist Bruce W. Smith recently released A Recollection of Journeys, Short Stories of Outdoor Travel and Adventure from Alaska to Australia.

Smith’s coverage of automotive and marine adventures has taken him to some extremes on our planet. In this book he recalls some his more memorable expeditions.

This book will appeal to off-road enthusiasts as many of the miles (or should I say kilometers?) were gained behind the wheel of four wheel drive vehicles.

From the snows of Yellowstone to the jungles of Guatemala and Brazil to the desert-like sands of Australia’s outback, Smith and his expedition teams put these 4×4 machines to the ultimate test.

Smith also gives us a peaceful respite between overland adventures with his account of a 325 mile trip via pleasure boat in the Alaskan Inland Passage.
Experienced and would-be adveturers will appreciate Smith’s account of the sights and sounds and the challenges to man and machine. He also reveals some of the secrets to selecting gear for such journeys.
