James T ParksJames T. Parks has been journeying into America's historic hinterlands for most of his life. He's been writing about and photographing those travels for some 20 years. Having grown up just a few blocks from historic Route 66, his wanderlust began eary in life. Although interested in all aspects of America, many of his expeditions have been away from the heavily trafficked tourist destinations. He particularly likes to find America's forgotten corners and unique places that make the fabric of life in our country so rich and interesting. If getting there involves scenic, curvy roads, all the better. He has been a contributor to RoadRUNNER magazine since his first tour with its founder, Christian Neuhauser, in 2003. Although not a trained academic, he has a strong passion for combining human and geological history into his travels and writings to give readers a deep understanding of the context of places and times in history.
