I managed to grab a first-edition of the book from a used bookstore in Arizona (I'm pretty sure they did not realize it was a first edition...with a pristine dust jacket). I found it at the beginning of my camper drive around the US. I ended up not reading it until after I completed that trip...figured it would be like comparing notes. Although I do wish I had read it ahead of time. That is funny the ending. I guess when you're not really going anywhere and you're just driving you're never really lost. Only way to get lost is if you have somewhere to go.
