Sierra Voices | Tom Fearer The Old Tollhouse Grade
Tom Fearer was introduced to highway enthusiasm by his father during the 1980s after a road trip from Detroit to Chicago via US Route 12. Tom relocated from the Midwest to Arizona in 2001 and began writing about numerous highway corridors with ties to ghost towns. Tom relocated to Florida in 2013 and would provide map drawings of the 1928 iteration of the Overseas Highway, which the Pigeon Key Museum later used.
In 2016, Tom relocated to the Central Valley of California and began writing as a member of the Gribblenation highway page. Gribblenation is a highway blog site that carries the philosophy of “every road has a story.” Tom has since launched the Golden States Highways, US Route 99, and Hawaii Roads and Highways subpages on Gribblenation. Tom has made several appearances on the Roadwaywiz YouTube channel during featured webinars, including Roads of Oahu and Southern California.
Outside of the world of highways, Tom is a distance runner and avid hiker. Tom has visited all the National Parks located in the continental United States and Hawaii during various road trips. Professionally, Tom has worked in the Physical Security management field for over twenty years with multiple companies and government bodies.
