from Guido Goluke, Kerouac's Dutch translator, on the former FRG-GDR border: "The Trabi was found at a Grenzmuseum in Hessen, near the border with Thüringen, that used to be the Deutsch-Deutsche Grenze. In its active service, the imperishable little trotter probably packed four fully equipped and armed Vopo’s."
Trucks, cars, highways, landscape, good writing. "You cannot travel on the path, before you have become the Path itself."
