Whether we're beret-bearing beatniks or Lexus-driving cosmopolitans, road trips still beckon. Gas up the tank, load up the trunk--it's hard to resist. But who has time to waste on wrong turns, getting lost, and bad choices? When it comes to finding fun, time is of the essence, so Jamie Jensen's guide takes the pain out of the road trip, be it across the continent or a Sunday jaunt. With directions to pit stops, scenic routes, bizarre museums, and the best apple pie stands, all you have to do is drive.
Product Description
This is the best-selling road guide ever, with more than 200,000 copies sold! With the same popular format -- a flexible network of route combinations, extensively cross-referenced to accommodate hundreds of possible itineraries -- this third edition now provides additional coverage of the Appalachian Trail route and the Coastal East Coast route, and an expanded "On the Road" chapter with more information on when to go and where to eat and sleep. Author Jamie Jensen also includes need-to-know items for the road: Survival Guides for two dozen cities, call letters of popular local radio stations, facts about regional writers, and oddball trivia. Descriptions of all the great stuff road-trippers will find along the way are included, like funky diners and roadside curiosities, along with eye-catching photos, fun graphics, and user-friendly maps. "An immensely sophisticated masterwork. ....this is quite simply the best book of its type ever published." -- Conde Nast Traveler

The USA is just too big to encompass in one book. Most things covered in this book can be found by searching the internet. Good reference.
 Road Trip USA - Jamie Jensen July 2, 2008
Extensively researched and very well written - good humor makes the exhaustive details easy to read. Over the years, I have driven many of the roads travelled - and I wish I had this book with me in the past. I read through it and say "Oh yeah, now I get it" about many of the sights I have seen. Going to enjoy bringing it with me on future travels - this book gives me far greater insight than other such books I have read. Well laid out, great index and cross-references.

I recently completed a series of road trips around the U.S. with one of my children. We found Road Trip USA to be an indispensable guide to each section of the country we visited. The book was full of accurate recommendations and suggestions of what to see and what to avoid.

This is a wonderful book. The detail and how it is divided into areas makes it an easy read and easy to locate the information you want. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and I recommend to everyone whether you are going to travel or not.

Bought this for my recently retired parents for Christmas. They loved it. Kinda of a nudge out the door to experience life....
