5.0 out of 5 stars Got me in and out alive and I learned something!, August 14, 2007

By	Gary R. Mosca (Thomasville, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When planning a trip to Arizona, I got a book that seemed informative yet personable. This journey guide kept me informed with basic info I was curious about regarding the area, and didn't put me to sleep with a dense history that would have bogged me down as a short term visitor.
I especially enjoyed the photos of all the petroglyphs, and the info on the local Native Americans, since I wasn't from the area and appreciated the "heads up" on ancient and present-day conditions, I consider these points to be aware of in order to get the most out of any regional trip. Also, the authors have an offbeat sense of humor that kept me company on the trip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Explorers of land and time, April 17, 2007

By	S. E. Morris "Wandering reader" (minneapolis, minnesota United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I want you to known before going any further that my Brother Vern illustrated this book, and that Jon and Julie are my friends.
This book is the real deal. The authors trekked the Arizona landscape to bring back and present an honest and fair account, written with genuine enthusiasm and love for the land and our history.
Arizona is a place of breathtaking beauty. There are so many incredible horizons, impressive peaks and valleys, and wondrous ruins once inhabited by people much like ourselves, yet unique in all the world.
Jon is a rock guy, a fossil guy and a climber. Arizona could have been created just for him, so he could experience it and discover a need to encourage others to see and experience a place unlike any other.
Vern has been a fossil guy since he was very small, and his illustrations transport you to other times and other places very well.
The glyphs are beautiful and amazing, and Jon Julie and Vern want you to see them. Ancient People told their stories in stone, and while time has weathered their work, something unique remains.
One great thing about travel is that it can take you out of yourself and sharpen the senses.
I have been to some of the sites covered and felt a connection to ancient times and the men women and children who walked there. This book made me want to make a new journey, with their Arizona guide. Buy this book, and dream, and then go see for yourself.
The authors are working on similar books for other areas of the southwest. I think you should know that.
