Roy Blakeley's Motor Caravan

A lively teenage narrator recounts his everyday mischief, from endless mince turnovers to lazy afternoons on the porch, when the charismatic Harry Donnelle rolls into town with a new scheme. Harry, a former lieutenant with a family history of daring exploits, sparks the boys’ curiosity by mentioning a tangled freight crisis out west and a request to move a handful of bulky Kluck cars from Missouri back to New York.

The narrator and his scout patrol see the chance for a real “expedition,” a chance to prove themselves beyond the familiar campgrounds of the Catskills. Their mission promises a road trip full of unexpected hurdles, quirky characters, and the kind of camaraderie that turns a simple delivery into an unforgettable adventure. Listeners will be drawn into the humor, the youthful energy, and the promise of a road‑bound quest that tests friendship and ingenuity.
