Kiwi adventurer Mary Jane Walker explored America by Amtrak Train, travelling one and a half times around the lower 48 states and stopping off in Hawaii as well.The most memorable part of her trip was when she took the train to the Glacier, Grand Teton, Yosemite and Rocky Mountains National Parks before the snow hit. She nearly met a Grizzly Bear and now knows why Americans do not have to travel much worldwide, as they really do have it all in the USA.She went to to the Civil Rights Museum in Birmingham, Alabama. She was impressed with Washington DC and Chicago. Charlotte, SC, on the other hand, seemed to be dedicated to car racing. In New York, she loved to stay in Red Hook, and went back there again.Another highlight was when she got invited to the pipeline protest at Standing Rock.This book is an update of Mary Janes A Maverick USA Way, of which Amazon Top 100 and Hall of Fame Reviewer Grady Harp wrote that This is one of the most satisfying travel books available todaysophisticated in content yet warmly personal, making the reader feel as though an accompanying companion on each journey.

MARY JANE WALKER

Mary Jane Walkeris a writer of historically well-informed travel memoirs that come with an autobiographical flavour.

Travelling around the USA by train was an adventure in itself. Mary Jane met people from all walks of life and shades of opinion. Not only was she confronted by politics in the height of the 2016 election season, but also discovered environmental and conservation issues.

Mary Jane took Amtrak trains to Glacier, Grand Teton, Rocky Mountain and Yosemite national parks before the snow hit. She loved the Smithsonian Museums and after seeing a live dance at the Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., she decided to go to Standing Rock. It was a protest over land rights and drinking water, at 27 C below zero!

Mary Jane was awed by a Detroit which is reverting to a park, by Galveston and by Birmingham, Alabama. She was tired of being mistaken for being a homeless person because she had a backpack, and left San Francisco because of it.

A Note on Maps and Images

If you have a copy of this book in which the images are printed in black and white, or if you have a reader with a black-and-white screen, you can see all of the images in this book that were originally in colour in full colour, and all of the images including chapter-specific maps generally at higher resolution, by going to the blog posts linked at the end of each chapter.

In fact, these blog posts will generally contain more images and other visual material than appears in the book.

Unless noted or indicated otherwise, all maps, aerial photos and satellite images are shown with north at the top.

Readers are in every case urged to make use of original maps (often zoomable if online) and guides when in the outdoors; the maps and aerial/satellite images shown in this book are purely for illustration.

For a literally more all-round perspective, you might also wish to look at some of localities I describe in the 3D view on Google Earth.
