........ The American Road Journal is a collection of stories from across the United States. My name is Richard Paterson and I have embarked on a journey to explore this great country of ours.

........ My mission is to document life as it is today and share the stories of my exploration, So I have created the American Road Journal a video documentary series and multimedia web site.

........ The stories are diverse and cover many different aspects of local culture, news events and senic locations around our country. From the back woods to the big cities there lots to share. I tell stories about people doing what they do best, just being themselves. It's not hard to find dynamic characters if you willing to look.

........ If you look, sometimes just standing in line at a store you'll meet someone that has a interesting job or maybe a intriguing hobby that would make a great storie for the Road Journal. Not all the stories are planed sometimes we just let the road take us where it want us to go. I have met many fascinating people from all walks of life and we will share their stories with you on the web and through a video documenary series called American Road Journal.

........ This diverse country has an endless supply of stories just around the bend in the road. So join us on the road without leaving your house, let us share the culture,and wonderful scenery with you on the American Road Journal
