Why write a book?

When I initially decided I wanted to do this trip the idea of a book hadn't yet crossed my mind. I have a fascination with deserts that I developed while taking a Desert Literature course a few years ago. Last summer I was going through one of my phases when every book I was reading had to be about the desert and I stumbled upon the book Through Painted Deserts: Light, God, Beauty on the Open Road by Donald Miller.

It was after reading this book that I decided that this was what I had to do. I was going to write a book about our Route 6 trip.
