Jamie Jensen

Jamie Jensen grew up in Southern California back when freeways were new cheeseburgers cost a quarter and every beach had a beachfront amusement park. After wasting his early 20s bumming around the country making hay in Kansas and ghost-writing a book for the Grateful Dead in 1990 Jamie set to work researching and writing Road Trip USA. Since then he's traveled more than 400000 miles in search of the perfect stretch of two-lane blacktop but when not criss-crossing the country by car he rides his bike whenever possible. Jamie lives with his wife Catherine and twin boys Tom and Alex in Davis California near the west end of US-50.
