Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Tired of the same old tourist traps? Take the road less traveled and uncover the hidden attractions, unique finds, and unusual locales other guidebooks just don’t offer. Off the Beaten Path® features the things you’d want to see—if only you knew about them! From the best in local dining to quirky cultural tidbits, you’ll say over and over again: “I didn’t know that!”
Discover a different side of the Great Lakes State. Step inside a giant soap bubble at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum; learn a thing or two about marital harmony on the Be Good to Your Mother-in-Law Bridge in Croswell; or steer through a collection of more than 1,500 car hood ornaments at the Gilmore Classic Car Club of America Museums. So if you’ve “been there, done that” one too many times, get off the main road and venture Off the Beaten Path.

cute snippets,
This review is from: Michigan Off the Beaten Path, 9th (Off the Beaten Path Series) (Paperback)
This book had too many random snippets of information that were not well organized. I would read about a place but then could not find the name of the place on any map or list in the book to see exactly where in the Michigan region it was. I brought the book with me on a recent trip to the the Lake Michigan Coast but did not end up using it at all. The author's hiking book is much more useful.
