Sgt. Stryker has a good way for furriners and Hollyweirders to see Eviiiil Facist Amerikka. A way to see the Evil Ones at their unspeakable work. This would also work for those folks who spend all their time in large population centers and take airplanes when want to go from Seattle to Miami, or LA to NYC.
Mrs. OWW and Himself have done some of this, mainly on trips from San Jose, CA to Olympia, WA. Now that we're in Georgia, we're looking forward to doing a little more.
I've got no sympathy for what's 'er name, the B-grade German actress - she couldn't be bothered to open her eyes and take a look.

Excerpt:
1. Don’t fly— it’s too easy then to miss what a big country it is, and how varied. Rent a car, or a camper-van, and drive— it’s how we do it. Drive across the country, from north to south, east to west, on the interstates when you have to, but the secondary roads are more fun. It’s a big country. There are stretches of interstate in the West where it can be 100 miles to the next gas, and nothing in sight constructed by humans save the highway itself. A hundred and fifty years ago, it took six months for travelers on foot, horseback, ox-drawn wagons or mule trails, making fifteen miles a day if they were lucky, and following barely visible trails from the Missouri River to the west coast. There are still wide-open spaces… quite a lot of them actually.
