Book Talk: 'The Dawn Patrol Diaries' with James Card
"Take a map and find the emptiest spot on the map. A place with the fewest roads and fewest towns. In many of these places I found the best fishing spots but you find other wonderful things, too, such as older architecture that is preserved, more untouched natural areas, friendlier people, less franchised retail operations, and some odd regional things. If you are lucky some of these places will have a lost-in-time feel to them. You have to experience it before it’s gone."
