A travel book for the strange and strange at heart with shadows of whimsy and wellness, this volume outlines a cryptid road trip quest of epic proportions to bring adventure and nature back into daily life. This journey through the United States and into Canada celebrates creepies and crawlies, howlers and horrifiers, mysteries in many forms to propel yourself away from the drudgeries of daily work life. Featuring stops at cryptid-related festivals from the Badlands to Bourbon Country and beyond, it reveals a land teeming with legendary creatures of local lore. There are hikes, museums, statues with famous butts, conventions, and enough fun runs honoring elusive critters to rack up all the Monster Miles you could ever want to run (or walk, or crawl).
