General DX Info Menu Main Menu What's New Best of this Site ... Radio History Road Fever - A Book Review Reviewed by Don Moore Cahill, Tim. ROAD FEVER. Random House. 1991. 277p. Admittedly, one doesn't embark on a trip like this quite so casually. Sowerby was contracted by General Motors in 1987 to make this trip as a publicity stunt in a brand new GMC Sierra. Cahill was along as a co-driver and independent journalist/author. Almost the first half of the book is taken up by reconnaisance - advance detail work in Latin America by Sowerby and Cahill, as they check into customs formalities in various countries and make contacts with officials, to ease their way across borders. While it is preliminary to the main story, this is the part of the book that gets into a little of the culture of the various countries. After all, once they got going on the main event there wasn't exactly a lot of time for sight-seeing! Although this is not Cahill's first trip to Latin America, he is more known for his travels in Asia and Africa and makes a few gaffs like confusing Juan Peron's two wives Evita and Isabel. Finally, they start on the made dash from Ushuiaia, Argentina - the southernmost town in the world reachable by road. The trip itself is hilarious. They live mostly on cold instant coffee, beef jerky, and boxed milkshakes (a Canadian manufacturer donated a thousand). At the dozens of police checkpoints and border crossings along the way, they make friends with the authorities by handing out Canadian flag lapel pins and milkshakes. There are so many little stories and encounters in this book, it doesn't exactly have a plot. Rather, it's a series of events intertwined with concepts like being "roto" and having Zippy's disease. You have to read the book to find out! Although it does take a little time to get to the heart of the story, this is one of the most entertaining books I have read in a long time. You won't get as much Latin American cultural background out of this book, compared to a lot of others. But, it is one good read!

The first four with syphilis and gonorrhea, the seven members of Dr. Hook because they had just done an anti-VD show for public television and had developed med student syndrome, which is the fals and overwhelming impression that the last disease studied is the one you have. Dr. Hook was working on its second album at the Columbia Recording Studio here, a studio that the engineers call, with ambivalent pride, "the home of Sylvia's Mother." Jokes about poor Sylvia were in circulation. You remember her: She's on her way to Galveston to marry that fellow down there. Mother wants her to take an umbrella because it's starting to rain. Well, Dennis Locorriere, the bearded lead singer of Dr. Hoook, wasn't sure, but he thought it may be beginning to drip. He had spent too much time listening to all that depressing information about spirochetes and gonococci, heart damage, brain disease and open sores. Still, here he was with the complete Medicine Show, working on the last few cuts of Dr. Hook's second album–running one more time through a song called "Looking for Pussy," to be included on the album which will be called Sloppy Seconds.

24. Outside Bozeman - Southwest Montana's Outdoor Journal - Tim Cahill, Mishap Maest Biographical article. http://www.outsidebozeman.com/cahill.php

weather here (This article adapted from The Tributary, March 2000) Tim Cahill, Mishap Maestro What to do? If you’re Tim Cahill, world-traveler, acclaimed outdoor writer, and longtime Livingston local, turning back is not an option. "What we did was approach these guys on the street, in public, and say ‘would you guys like to be our bodyguards? We’ll pay you for it.’" The trick was just bold enough to work, and the group, now warlord-strong, resumed its journey northward. When they reached the mines a fierce sandstorm whipped up, and after it was over one of their party was missing. Guessing that he’d been kidnapped by the Arab mine-owners, Cahill and his friends offered ransom. But the Arabs denied any involvement. "We found him the next day," remembers Cahill. "He’d gotten lost in the storm. He was about ten miles away, holed up in an old French Foreign Legion fort, hiding from the Arabs." "Now there’s an ideal mishap," says Cahill. "It’s got politics, revolution, people lost in the sand" – in other words, something to write about. For therein lies the secret to Cahill’s award-winning travel writing: something has to go wrong. And for the tall, thick-bearded, interminably affable author of six books and over 300 articles, something usually does.

Why on earth did Tim Cahill (M.A., '70), one of the best (and funniest) travel writers around, almost become a lawyer? "A simple lack of courage," he says. "I knew that being a writer was an iffy way to make a living." Luckily for readers everywhere, Cahill came to his senses during his first year of law school. After a professor praised his prose in a legal brief, Cahill "decided to give [writing] a shot." In 1968, he dropped out of the University of Wisconsin and headed to San Francisco ("I had flowers in my hair"), where he enrolled in SF State's creative writing program because he'd heard "it was one of the best in the country."

SUMMARY In his latest collection of death-defying exploits and far-flung travels, "Outside" Magazine editor Tim Cahill visits the side of an active volcano in Ecuador, the Saharan salt mines and the largest toxic waste dump in the Western Hemisphere. He also ventures to find a Caspian tiger in Turkey and giant centipedes in the Congo. Cahill is one of the last great intrepid journalists, and his thirty wildly entertaining essays display sparkling wit and unstinting curiosity. When not on the move, he debunks hoary notions of the kindness of dolphins and ruminates on religion, death and the perplexing phenomenon of yoga. Charming, incisive and absolutely fearless, Cahill is the perfect travel companion. SUMMARY

Let me backtrack: Last week I wrote in this column about Jan Morris, anticipating her appearance in a travel writers' conference I was chairing later in the week. In that same column I also mentioned Pico Iyer and Tim Cahill, the two other travel writers who were guests of honor at the event. I intended to move on to a different topic this week, but after spending four summer- camp- intense days in the presence of these craft masters, in workshops and panels and dinners and readings and late-night beer and travel tale revels, my mind refuses to let go of them. Their words and their writings stay with me; their warmth and intelligence and generosity stay with me, too. We parted on Sunday and I went to work on Monday, half in the office and half still enmeshed in that conference, and then on Monday night I settled down with Cahill's most recent collection of stories, "Pass the Butterworms."

My Account April 3, 1997 For on-the-edge traveler Cahill, the adventure is in the telling By SHAWN VESTAL BOZEMAN DAILY CHRONICLE LIVINGSTON, Mont. Tim Cahill can't find his cherche  He looks in a bedroom, then a den. He walks around his home, cluttered with artifacts and artwork from around the globe, but can't find it anywhere.  "Well," Cahill mutters. "I'm cherche -less."  Cahill travel writer, wit, minor legend and the unvarnished envy of would-be adventurers everywhere is packing for his latest book tour. But that's not why he wants the cherche , which is 12 feet of gauzy cotton used as a head covering in the Sahara.  He wants it to make a point about travel: Many places you go, "people have lived there for 1,000 years, 2,000 years, longer. They know how to live in that environment, whether it's the arctic or the desert. One is wise to observe them and do what they do."  It's not always wise, he warns, to believe that "every little bit of gear you get at (an outdoors store) is going to be superior to what the locals have."

Environment Wild Life: An Interview With Tim Cahill The vast wildernesses of our national parks belong to all of us, says Tim Cahill. We should go lose ourselves in them. Erik Kancler Newsletter Share Close this Share Box Comments Post Comment Fri Mar. 25, 2005 1:00 AM PST Tim Cahill is a firm believer that it's good, every once in a while, to get lost in the wilderness. That, plus a hopeless sense of direction, explains why he spends much of his time in the vast spaces of our national parks, not knowing quite where he is. And why, through his writing, he wants to bring that experience alive to as many people as possible, and encourage them to do the same. To Cahill's mind, when people directly experience nature in this way they develop a stake, an interest a sense of obligation to protect the wildernesses that belong to all of us. He's not preachy about this, though; he says he's less an "issues guy" than a story-teller. Advertisement Advertise on MotherJones.com
