Car Free and Care Free,
By susan dawkins (New Westminster, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: BC Car-Free: Exploring Southwestern British Columbia without a Car (Paperback)
It's about time someone made it easy for all us carless ( and proud of it ) people to enjoy the great outdoors. Mr. Grover's book leaves no stone unturned when it comes to useful information. He's put in maps for every area described, transportation schedules, detailed descriptions of trails, prices, historical information, drawings and a sense of humor rarely found in travel/guide books. Obviously a lot of research went in to make this book so complete and so far the trips I've taken using this guide have been spot on! Buying this book was the best $20 I've spent in a long time. I hope Mr. Grover decides to write similar guides for the rest of the province and country. With environmental problems being a concern for a large number of people in this country it is refreshing to see a real simple solution for a change. Good on you Mr. Grover.

Grover does a great job of detailing the ins and outs of outdoor adventure in B.C., for those who don`t have vehicles or choose not to. Very timely.

Great Book!,
By Tod Wong (Vancouver) - See all my reviews
This review is from: BC Car-Free: Exploring Southwestern British Columbia without a Car (Paperback)
I used the book last weekend to check out the caves on Vancouver Island. I had never even heard of them before. Too Qool! BC Car-Free was right on in its description and details. Next week I'm going to do my first kayaking trip using the book.
