I love watching the Bay Area Backroads TV show. I thought the card deck would be as advertised, toss in your glove compartment and off you go!There are lots of cards of individual landmarks to visit and one fold out card with a very simple map, but you will still need a real map, lodging book and a restaurant guide to make a nice trip out of any one of the destination cards. I think I will stick to cutting the weekend trip guides out of Sunset and Via magazines. I was dissapointed with the card set.

This card deck is a fantastic idea! Very useful and easy to carry with you in the car. Great compact information to local sights. Makes for a quick and easy get-away search. Would recommend highly.

I've always liked the bay area backroads show because they find some really unique and interesting places that I would never have known about on my own. This deck contains none of them. It is more of a list of national parks in Northern California. There is nothing unique about the destinations given, and more often then not I found that the cards I looked at were places that I have already visited... in some cases on a regular basis.
I had hoped that by purchasing this I would be able to just grab a random card and take off on some crazy Saturday adventure. I'm rather dissapointed.

I gave this as a gift to my boyfriend (who was not from CA) at the time. Being from the Bay Area, I wanted to give him something that would help us explore the area together. It has great ideas and just the appropriate amount of information and inspiration! Highly recommend it for someone who's recently relocated or visiting the Bay Area.

Such a great idea for those who love to explore the Bay Area. There were so many places in this deck that i didn't know about and look forward to visiting.

I thought this was a book until I received it in the mail. It's 50 "playing cards"; stiff paper looseleaf cards. I would have preferred a book and will have to be more careful next time I purchase from Amazon.com.
