A guide to getting to know Southern California
After being transplanted to Southern California from the Northwest, I felt hemmed in, separated from all things natural. Backcountry Adventures has helped to change that. It's a wonderful guide to exploring the region. The hefty book begins with a historical, botanical and geographic guide to the region, highlighting Southern California's explorers, settlers, missionaries, bandits, flora, ...

OUTSTANDING BOOK!
I have read two other books on Adventure Racing that were published before Ian's book came out in the market. Those two books were also good, in fact Ian wrote the foreword on both. But Ian's book came out a cut above the rest. His book offered his and his teamates "winning strategies and experiences". The book was intelligently written and commanded authority on all topics discussed such as ...

Wonderful Introduction To "The Road Less Traveled"!
Adherents of the `60s counterculture back-to-the-land philosophy will find much to enjoy and savor in this humorous but fact-filled book on homesteading self-sufficiency. I am lucky enough to have had a personally autographed copy of author Sue Robishaw's wonderful book "Homesteading Adventures" sitting comfortably on one of my bookshelves for years. I recently re-read it, and found it as ...

Great resource!
This is a great resource for planning your trip to Disneyland. Very informative read for the rides, attractions, places to stay. The worksheets are very helpful as well, to keep the information in one place. I also suggest Birnbaums Guide to accompany this and you have a full and well-rounded set of guides to plan your trip and day-to-day activities. I also suggest joining some message ...

Focus, 2008

Too Short
My only complaint: it's too short. It's 563 pages long, but still too short! Nathan Hoobler did a wonderful job with this Guide--not bogging down with long episode summaries (yet giving enough that if you haven't heard an episode, you'll get what's going on), but digging right into that behind-the-scenes stuff most people have never known. Hilarious Eugene version of 'Three Blind Mice', Goof ...

A Great Guide to The Alcan and Beyond.

Wish I had this when I went there
Lets Go guides are great! I love the side notes. This is strictly Oregon, Washington and Northwestern parts of Canada. I didn't have this guide when I went to the Pacific Northwest. Now I have and I look forward to sharing it with others and keeping it to use when I go back to explore again on a budget. A side note I'd love to write is the BEST cookie bakery in Pioneer Square on 1st Ave - Cow ...

Excellent book -- buy the new edition
I won't rehash how good this book is, you have all 9 other reviews to do it. Just a note of caution, make sure you buy the latest edition (from 2006). Amazon still lists the one from 2002 first in the search results. I like the GPS coordinates, and the fact that it gives directions and mileage for each trail in both directions. So you have a lot more flexibility on how you plan your outing.
