Photographer Clay Enos is traveling across America from New York to Vancouver, BC on a Vespa GTS300. The basic idea, as he puts it, is to rarely go more than 150 miles on any given day, eat and support organic, healthy, locally produced and harvested foods (grass-fed beef, etc) and experience this side of America in a more intimate way.  Clay has read Primal Body-Primal Mind and says he feels the book’s message is “vitally important”.
