The Correct Elevation

By Thomas M. McDade

The Correct Elevation details a hitchhiking trip a man named Denny embarks on after making a wager with a friend from his Navy days. The three people in the car that pick him up on Interstate 84 are an unusual trio to put it mildly. The Driver is a crass, chain-smoking woman. Her male companion is a perfect match. The preteen girl Denny shares the back seat with is a mystery to behold.
