With witty, heartwarming stories and a keen insight into the human problems we all confront, this is both a ramble throughand celebration of the land we all love. These three quests inspired some'deep-ish' thinking from Nick, about the history andphilosophyof our relationship with nature in our national parks, in our farming, and in our backyards what we mean when we talk about conservation and the importance of outdoor recreation, all subjects very close to Nick's heart. He followed that up with anexcursionthat could only have come about in 2020-Nick and his wife, MeganMullally, bought an Airstream trailer to drive across (several of) the United States.

In his new book,Nick takes a humorous, inspiring, and elucidating trip to America's trails, farms, and frontier to examine the people who inhabit the land, what that has meant to them and us, and to the landitself, both historically and currently.
