........ The American Road Journal or 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. I have created the 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 scenic locations.  From the back woods to big cities the Road Journal will share stories of people doing what they do best, just being themselves.  It's not hard to find dynamic characters if you willing to look.

.......... Sometimes just standing in line at a store you'll meet someone that has a interesting job or maybe a intriguing hobby. The Road Journal will explore these stories and much more. This diverse country has an endless supply of stories just around the bend in the road. So join us without leaving your house, let us share the culture, and wonderful scenery with you.  Watch on our website or on YouTube  the American Road Journal.
