Sorry for the obscure reference, I'm a remarkably illiterate guy but I'm reading Steinbeck's book right now. (BTW, don't look for it in travel writing, it's usually in with the rest of his books.)
Ok Joel, you got me, I had to search for it. WTH did we do before the internet? My kids will never know. I will have to find that book.

It's been on eBay 2x now, and he's come down pretty far on his price. I was looking at it for my Rocinante; I'm working on a week or two journey to clear my head and get out, and I figured buying an old IH in the West somewhere would be a good start. :-)
<snip> Steinbeck's truck "Travels With Charley(?)" IIRC, Don Quixote's horse was also named Rocinante. It means a broken down old nag [horse]. Good name for the Travelall in its present condition. It'd be a good thing to go tilt at windmills with - and camp out of. If I still had my place in Georgia - I'd want it. -- Ted Borck [email protected]
