A regularly-updated guide that is a great addition for road-trips! We have used it a couple times to make last-minute little visits on our vacations when we notice that a sight of interest is off the highway we're on
What a great book, knew roughly where we were going. So, got together a bunch of 5x8 indexcards. One each for us to cover each state we would traverse within the States. Yes I wrote on thebook, then went back prioritizing each area we might cover... This way we created a guide tofollow, not religiously, but it was a good pointer to where we could and did often go.Still have it and use it, recommending you try it out. Regards southwest jim

Like the title suggests, the books tells you about more obscure attractions, thus avoiding the usual tourist traps. A good resource to find out where you can visit to avoid crowds. For popular places, I've realized that it's best to avoid the peak seasons. A smaller crowd makes the driving easier and finding lodging more easily, especially the cheaper accommodations. And allows yo...
This was originally published in 1987 & I had that book. I upgraded in 2009, which is the last time this book was updated. Basically, a group of editors takes each state & lists destinations that aren't necessarily popular, but are interesting. Of course, the smaller states have less places, the larger have up to 27 sites. Museums, battlefields, state parks, national parks, ect. Most inspiring is the Mark Twain quote in the beginning of the book : " Twenty years from now you will be more disapp
