Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Going Places is a series of whirlwind jaunts to some of the world's most popular vacation spots-London, Las Vegas, New Orleans, the Caribbean, the American "wild west", the Black Hills, Tuscany and Sydney. Hosted by Al Roker, each installment invites viewers to tag along to one of the different, exciting locales, where every aspect of the place is explored and sampled. From culture and history, to shopping and dining, to recreation and sightseeing, no famous highlight is overlooked, and several lesser known gems are joyfully uncovered.

Biking the Black Hills

Biking enthusiasts will argue that there is nothing in the world like the wind in their hair and the unobstructed landscape stretched out before them. This episode of Going Places follows two groups of bikers along their scenic, backraods routes from Seattle and Minneapolis to Sturgis, South Dakota, for the world's largest biker rally, an annual even since 1938. The Seattle route travels past Mt. Rainier, Washington, to Virginia City, Montana, for a stop at "The Bail of Hay Saloon", the historic bar seen in the movies Little Big Man and Lonesome dove. From Minneapolis, the travelers pass through the Minnesota River Valley and the prairies of Badlands, South Dakota, visiting Mt. Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Monument on the way.
