His whole trip encompassed nearly 10,000 miles. His trip was one that outlined the border of the United States, going all throughout the North, through the Pacific Northwest, down into his native Salinas Valley, across to Texas, up through the Deep South, and then back to New York. He started his travels in Long Island, New York. He traveled throughout the United States in a specially made camper called Rocinante, named after the horse of Don Quixote. However, he found that the "new America" did not live up to his expectations. He had many questions going into his journey, the main one being "What are Americans like today". He wrote that he was moved by a desire to see his country on a personal level, since he made his living writing about it.

A rugged and passionate adventure of self-identity, Steinbeck's vision of the changing world still speaks to us prophetically through the decades. His 10,000-mile journey took him through almost forty states, where he saw things that made him proud, angry, sympathetic and elated. Moving through the woods and deserts, dirt tracks and highways to large cities and glorious wildernesses, Steinbeck observed - with remarkable honesty, insight and a humorous eye - the gamut of America and the people who inhabited it. He felt that he might have lost touch with its sights, sounds and the essence of the American people. In 1960, John Steinbeck set out in his pick-up truck with his dog Charley to rediscover and chronicle his native USA, from Maine to California.
