"People often have the misconception that travel writing is a glamorous life. Glamorous? There is no way that crossing the prairie in a covered wagon and 110° heat is glamorous! Or sleeping in a coffin-sized photo blind on the frozen banks of the Platte River, with only a cardboard "jungle john" and my husband to keep me company.
"But it is varied, and affords me the opportunity to meet political dignitaries, aviation pioneers, Civil War reenactors, and just plain folks. Everyone has an interesting story to tell about themselves or the places they care about."
—Sally M. Snell
