DRUG TRIP is a memoir of the numerous close calls with death told in a humorous way. It deals with all types of human interaction as Chris finds his way from Wyoming to California and back during a week off from college in the late 1970's. His steady companion is a Yamaha 650 motorcycle, which is able to take the multiple accidents and events in stride just as Chris does himself. His encounters range from a greasy gang member, thieves, two fragile saviors, and some wonderful police. During the first day, after riding through a blustery snowstorm, he nearly dies, twice.
