On the Road Again – It Is Time to Hit the Road for Real

In December I needed to take care of some business at the local Automobile Club of Southern California (AAA) office. I do not remember the reason for the visit. However, I was given a book that is a history of the Automobile Club of Southern California. The title is The Road Ahead: The Automobile Club of Southern California 1900 – 2000.

I just started reading it and was struck by how far automobiles, trucks, and motorcycles, as well as roads have come in 120 years. The book describes the extremely poor state of roads in 1900.
