Colton’s Adventures Back in Time with Pop

About the Book

Colton’s Adventures Back in Time is a collection of memories and Tall Tales from his Grandpa’s youth. These memories are triggered by sight or sound as they travel along mountain roads and through the ridges of an old man’s memories. Colton and his Pop use an old navy-blue Jeep as their time machine to travel eight decades back in time where a sight or sound triggers a memory from an ole man’s past. Step back in time as Pop, “The Story Man” shares the history of a time long gone. Listen to stories of adventures, experiences, and events from decades long ago as a grandpa shares them with his grandson. These stories are of a way of life that no longer exist, stories about home and family, stories that teach life lessons, stories that reveal the values and principles that are so desperately needed in the world today. These memories are of a time when life was simple, less hectic, and more enjoyable. Travel back in time with Colton and Pop, back to a time where friends and family looked after one another, back to a time full of hope and wonder.
