About this audiobook
It's one thing to dream. It's another thing to follow that dream. In 1974 John Egenes saddled his young horse, Gizmo, and set off on an adventure that took them across the United States, from ocean to ocean. Ride along with them as they make their incredible journey, as they witness an America that no longer exists.
“An achingly beautiful memoir. The experiences of a young man viewed with the wisdom and perspective of an old one. We love what passes. The Epilogue is one of the most moving I have read. ~ GoodReads review

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book made me feel like I was there, riding Gizmo across the U.S. myself. The narrator(author) was awesome. It’s a treasure and one that I will download and listen to again and again.
