Illustration Description
The inspiration for this is my friend Rick and the fabulous International Harvester pickup truck I bought from an acquaintance and drove in my 20's. I returned it (the truck) to him when I left California. He was delighted.

#55: Irontrousers the Strong

Good Evening. This site is inspired by the writings of author John Hodgman and his book Areas of My Expertise. It is meant as an homage to the
wandering men and women who chose to ride the rails during and before The Great Depression, and not the contemporary urban (or rural) poor.
