This review is from: Back Country Byways (Scenic Driving Series) (Paperback)

Perhaps I didn't read the explanation of the book before I purchased it. I don't regret buying it, but it certainly wasn't what I wanted. It provides some good information about a lot of off the road, well, roads, but there aren't any stories to go with them. It provids some historical, geographical, and biological history of the areas it discusses, but if you are looking for great stories, this book isn't it. Buy this book if you are looking for directions not for enjoyment reading.
