Media Reviews
One of my favorite aspects of this book was seeing how many of the drives I have already done. On the ones that I've completed, the pictures brought back memories of the drive and I might even add to the list of some of the points of interest. It also gives me a great guide for future places that I want to visit. -writereadlife.com

You get your money's worth with this and it would be perfect to throw into your bag as you set out on your road trip, you never know where it might take you. - Stranded in Chaos

This seems incredibly useful for planning longer road trips. The description of each route begins with a distance and time to drive, plus a recommended time of year and/or tips about how to best enjoy the drive. -doingdeweydecimal.com

Chock full of fantastic photographs, informative maps, and useful tips - a perfect addition to your guidebook collection. Plus, a great companion to planner addicts getting ready to plan out their summer vacations. --abookishwayoflife.blogspot.com

Having a printed guide with recommendations and information is invaluable as you head out into the more scenic parts of our beautiful country - aka: areas with no reception.
