Synopsis
In the beginning, it was happy trails. Then someone invented the horseless carriage and things haven't been the same since. As ribbons of concrete spread over the horse trails, so did the fun and frustration.This book explores some of that highway fun, both past and present. Included are unique pictures of strange vehicles, early gas stations, convenience stores, the evolution of the stop light, unusual roadside signs, the Texas billboard hall of fame, strange things seen when driving, and much, much more. Also included are vignettes about famous and not so famous Texas highway incidents, making the book as much an adventure as driving the highways, only much safer.
