Mile-by-mile highlights celebrated major cities, obscure towns, popular attractions roadside curiosities (if you're looking for the world's largest jackalope, you're in luck), local lore, and oddball trivia. Exit the interstates and create your own driving adventures on America's two-land scenic highways. Features include: a flexible network of route combinations, extensively cross-referenced to allow for hundreds of possible itineraries; essential tips for the road: call letters of lively radio stations, "Survival Guides" for two dozen cities, and details on where to eat and sleep; and more than 140 meticulously detailed maps.
作者简介Jamie Jensen has been immersed in road trip culture from an early age. After a three-year stint bumming around the country, making hay in Kansas, sailing boats in Chesapeake Bay, painting houses in Boston, and living in the storeroom of a Manhattan music studio, he returned to California and earned a degree in Architecture from U.C. Berkeley. Rather than get a real job, he then moved to England, where he began to write about America. Jamie is the author of Road Trip guides to the USA, California & the Southwest, and New England. He lives in Northern California, at the west end of US-50.--This text refers to thePaperbackedition.
编辑推荐Amazon.com Review
Whether we're beret-bearing beatniks or Lexus-driving cosmopolitans, road trips still beckon. Gas up the tank, load up the trunk--it's hard to resist. But who has time to waste on wrong turns, getting lost, and bad choices? When it comes to finding fun, time is of the essence, so Jamie Jensen's guide takes the pain out of the road trip, be it across the continent or a Sunday jaunt. With directions to pit stops, scenic routes, bizarre museums, and the best apple pie stands, all you have to do is drive.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Library Journal
Jensen, the author of two books in the "Rough Guides" travel series (Penguin), knows that to really see the United States the traveler must exit the interstate highways and enter the two-lane byways. Covering 11 cross-country, noninterstate roads that traverse the nation north to south or east to west, Jensen documents the local color of American popular culture?the out-of-the-way monument, throwback diner, area radio station, or local brewery. He provides historical lore and amusing trivia about points along the way, as well as practical advice on where to stay, where to find tourist offices, and how to find updates on local road conditions. An appendix includes "Survival Guides," which offers travel information on two dozen major cities, and an annotated reading list. Jensen's guide is essential for travelers who are more interested in finding the real America than the fastest way from points A to B. Highly recommended.?Pamela W.

Review
"The simple act of avoiding the soulless interstates, with their soggy franchises and identikit chains, opens up a parallel, and much friendlier, two-lane world. You'll chance upon monuments marking the actual sites of things you last thought about in high school history classes, or kitschy little souvenir stands flaunting giant dinosaurs outside their doors, and inside still selling the same postcards as they have since the Eisenhower years. With that introduction, Jensen and his contributing writers kick off a fun, off-beat tour of America. This is one of a series of travel books written by Moon for those of young spirit looking for something a bit different than McDonalds and Disney. In fact it devotes all of two paragraphs to Disneyland, and not a word to Disney World. It takes you on some old tours: Route 93 from Montana to Mexico, the Appalachian Trail, Route Two from Washington State to Maine and, of course, Route 66 from California to Illinois. I thought I knew all the travel highlights in my tiny state of Rhode Island. Not so. Jensen informs me that Providence is the birthplace of the diner and advises that a diner museum is soon to open. I've got to go check that out. If you're traveling, get this book. You are bound to learn something interesting about America, and maybe even your own home town as well. And you'll definitely have fun doing it. --FromIndependent Publisher--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
