"IT'S JUST THREE WEEKS..."

The book you're holding in your hands or listening to on audio is a 12,000 mile journey and a 2+ year labor of editorial love. Widely rejected by literary agents for failing to fit the mold, this story still came to life thanks to the rally cry of those who have followed the adventure from Mile 0. Through each chapter you will find yourself Googling the names and places Casey wandered into. To help your imagination and bring her story to life, here you will find many of the photographs and videos shot mile by mile.

Time forever changes the "Smallest Church in America" and other memories. Dinner in the park gets Casey elected as an Honorary Boy Scout.

Hurricane Michael and a Bat Sex Dungeon do their worst to Florida. "Mr. Charlie" transforms the world in a little Louisiana town. The Babe Bus gets stuck in the sand and is rescued by a mostly-naked Earth Angel. Bishop's Palace and the discovery of Buc-Cee's forever elevates all real estate and gas station expectations.

Chapters 41-50

Casey's "home" in Wilmington disappears while swimming in Texas' many Water Worlds. Deciding not to sleep in a legit ghost town, she finds herself in Crazy Town. A tornado nearly takes out the Babe Bus and some children in Memphis fighting for their lives realigns all priorities. 

Chapters 51-60

Greetings from Hell, Michigan.jpeg

The Babe Bus goes to Hell (Michigan) and back. No WiFi in Amish Country ends in a lesson on grist mill operations. Casey shoots a rap video in the "Murder Capital of the US" and serves a brief sentence at an Ohio jail. Sexy Steel goes inside a blast furnace and plans for Canada are ruined by a dumb beagle. Thankfully, Hoover's Dairy turns things around with a glass of chocolate milk. 

Chapters 61 to End

Casey & Allison draft the "Bad Girls Guide to Buffalo, NY." Summer heat and a fried electric system nearly end the journey. Boldt Castle tells a tale of love and loss and the legendary Sea Mule gives a lesson in crabbing. The FBI probably has Casey's picture up in HR with a warning and the Babe Bus' final miles get clocked across the Cape Fear bridge.
