Wander + Wonder

The new home of Detour Art, Road Trip 66 and Best Road Trip Ever!

A hand-curated guide to the best backroad finds.

Discover amazing artist-built environments and offbeat attractions, region by region, coast-to-coast.

Traveling the back roads of America instead of flying over them, reminds me that we are all still connected. Strangers chat without talking about political affiliations. Landscapes can change in the blink of an eye, or so subtly that you don't notice until you reach the next place to lay your head for the night.

Dedicated to the sheer joy of outsider, folk, visionary, self-taught, vernacular art and environment discoveries found all along the back roads (and side streets). I am a designer by trade, a photographer, a collector of self-taught art, and road trip fool by passion...

Each region features road stories over the years and maps with artist-built environments, off-beat attractions, funky motels and diners.
