THE LAST DECENT PARKING PLACE IN NORTH AMERICA

Welcome back to Homer, Alaska. Rejoice as Doug McDoogan, America's least successful entrepreneur, whittles his way to fame and fortune in the rarified world of art. Park your car at the End of the Road and meet the crowd of dreamers, cynics, fishermen, and lovable individualists.

THOSE GRAND OCCASIONS AT THE END OF THE ROAD

The folks at the End of the Road have an uncanny knack for turning tradition on its ear. From the Rod and Gun League's East Egg Stalk, where a confirmed pacifist wins a lifetime membership in the Predator's Club, to the annual New Year's Eve fistfight between Argus Winslow and Bud Koenig, when the folks from the End of the Road get together, things have a special way of getting out of hand.
