DISCOVERING AMERICA ONE STORY AT A TIME — THE ULTIMATE ROAD TRIP
Sometimes the journey you planned isn’t the journey you needed—and that’s where the magic begins. The detours uncover the secrets.
When award-winning author and radio/TV personality John W. Butler set out on a drive across America, he thought he was chasing the country he remembered. Instead, he found people, places, and stories that changed the way he saw everything—including himself.
Heartland Highways: In Search of America is a beautifully told road-trip memoir filled with backroads wisdom, small-town surprises, and the kind of unexpected moments that remind you life still has chapters left to write.
Whether you’re dreaming of your next adventure, starting a new season of life, or simply craving a story that makes you want to pack a bag—this is the road trip you’ll feel in your soul.

It is a journey I could only do alone. My transportation is ARGO, an Airstream Interstate Extended motor coach. I named it ARGO after the first steamship to intentionally circumnavigate the earth. Fitting I thought since I am circumnavigating America. ARGO allows me the freedom to meander the smaller blue roads and explore off the beaten paths.
So, that is what the Buzz is about, a journey of discovery. It would almost cost me my life at one point, but that's a story for later,
I invite you to come along with me.
Follow as I chronicle the people, places, history and culture in America today.
