The World Needs More Whimsy Grand Tour
The Big Banana Car has been on the road since 2011 and in that time has driven all over the United States.
In 2018 it embarked upon the World Needs More Whimsy Grand Tour and has driven coast to coast and north to south.
The map below shows its travels since departing Santa Monica on April 11 2018
States Visited
The lonely road between Wickenburg and Vulture City in the Sonoran desert.
Vulture city is a ghost town that was once the most productive gold mine in Arizona. I didn't do any prospecting but I certainly enjoyed the dramatic desert landscape replete with many towering saguaro cacti.

Host The Big Banana Car
I couchsurf my way around America and stay with friends, friends of friends or people I meet on the road.
I am looking for people to host me anywhere and everywhere and in return I would be happy to take your family and friends for rides around your town in the banana car.
