NY2LA

It was 1970, and Wes Jenkins went off to discover America, one random car ride at a time. 

Filled with a burning desire to explore the ideals of Woodstock Nation, experience the great bounty of diversity and freedom America has to offer, and maybe meet girls, Wes needed Truth, Justice and the American Way. Which is why, armed only with his thumb and a trusting disposition,he walked away from his aimless college existence, and hitchhiked from New York to Los Angeles. NY2LA is the epic true story of his journey through the American Heartland of the 70's...the Golden Age of American Hitchhiking!
