Road Journals: 48 States By Motorcycle, 2006-2007 (Harbinger Book Group, May 12, 2026)
Road Journals tells the story of a 30,000-mile motorcycle trip across the United States after the end of a baseball career and the path that eventually led to El Porto, California.
Woodrow "Pack" Landfair first arrived in El Porto, California after working his way through a 48-state motorcycle odyssey and selling his first novel, the subject of Road Journals (Harbinger May 12, 2026).
After playing baseball at the University of Texas while on a Navy ROTC scholarship, he pawned his 2005 National Championship ring - and all his possesions - to travel across all 48 contigious states by motorcycle, later publishing the novel Land of The Free (2014) and Road Journals (2026) the real-time week-by-week diary of the trip. He now runs the neighborhood surf shop, organizes the El Porto Surf Contest, and is building the Porto Surf Crew surfwear brand.
Inspired by El Porto's many international customers, he is on a quest to surf every coastal nation on earth. The people met and philosophies learned along the way are the subject of his 2027 sequal, Surf Journals, Vol. 1.
