Mit diesem Hörbuch dokumentiert die Autorin Hermine Stampa-Rabe ihre schwere Fahrradexpedition von Missoula/ Montana, USA, durch Kanada auf dem Alaska Highway nach Anchorage in Alaska. Aus dem Bericht ihres Radsportvereins "Adventure cycling", ersah sie, dass sie streckenweise auf sehr grobem Straßenasphalt radeln muss. Um einem Plattfuß von vornherein aus dem Weg zu gehen, wählte sie deshalb ihr altes Mountainbike, das aber neun Pfund schwer war... Gegen die gefährlichen Grizzly Bären, Pumas und Elche schützte sie sich mit einem Bärenglöckchen am Fußgelenk und Bären-Spray. Über nicht abreißende Berge und an brennenden Wäldern ging es immer weiter gen Norden.

Riding the rails, Ted Conover tasted the life of a tramp with companions like Pistol Pete, BB, and Sheba Sheila Sheils. From them he learned survival skills - how to "read" a freight train, scavenge for food and clothing, avoid the railroad "bulls." He was initiated into the customs of their unique, shadowy society - men and women bound together by a mutual bond of failure, camaraderie, and distrust.

An Excursion to Canada is a remarkable work by Thoreau, very different from his other works. Here he becomes an American traveler who shows far greater respect for America than Canada, while explaining the details of the chasm between the Church (Black) and the soldiers (Red) in Quebec that Stendhal pointed out in The Red and the Black in France. Something like DeTocqueville's Democracy in America, but here Canada is the country under the microscope.
