Travels with charley
You all might have know about this already but did you know that Steinbeck traveled across America in a 1960 Chevy with a custom camper shell in preparation for his book.

There is an episode of Dirt Every Day where he talks about it.

Ah yes what an adventure that must have been. Where is this display? His truck was a GMC.

Re: Travels with charley
I'm a huge Steinbeck fan. My wife and I went to Monterey for our honeymoon (19 years ago at the end of the month). We made the trip over to Salinas and the Steinbeck Museum, and I especially liked the truck. It was cool to see Fred paying homage in DED. I want to do my own travels with Charlie trip when I retire.
