I got the oddly-titled "Millions Want To" by Young for five dollars, after seeing it mentioned on here. Mint condition signed first edition. No dust cover.

Describes a trip to Libertad, in Sonora, in 1947 towing a travel trailer! They got stuck in an arroyo, had to jack up the trailer tires one at a time and build up two four foot rock towers, then put boards across to the lip of the arroyo and drive across like on a bridge.
I looked up Libertad, today has a huge power plant there.
Book also describes driving the Alcan to Alaska, shortly after it was opened. Lots of fishing stories. Greyling in Alaska, corvina in Libertad, lots of great pictures, recommend "Millions Want To" for Sonora and Alaska history buffs.
