A Good Start
| Customer Rating: | | This book is a good start at taking us back down memory lane. It points out places you went when you were a kid in the back seat without a safty belt. Unfortunatly, not the best guide on how to find the ones you missed. Great for the coffee table, bathroom reader, gift book but not a travel guide. |
Unusual places
| Customer Rating: | | We are going to be using this book to plan our road trip this summer. It has all the unusual places you never know if they really exist. Its for people who are looking for some adventure and dont mind traveling |
If your looking for fun things to look for on a long car trip!
| Customer Rating: | This was the answer for a 5,000 mile trip.
What fun it was to track different oddities in different states. |
Not very practical
| Customer Rating: | | This books gives you a lot of sites to see on your Road Trip but doesn't give you very practical advice how to get to them or their exact locations. There are a lot better books out there. |
Make your trip eccentric and different!
| Customer Rating: | A great source of ideas, oddball locations, and "home of the largest" collections, this book is nearly perfect for a long trip that needs some spice.
While it would have been nice to see a state-by-state organizational method (and some contact information) besides the index, the facts and details are nonetheless perfect for anyone wanting to make a trip different. The largest ball of twine, the Jack Daniel's museum and distillery, Punxsutawney Phil, Superman's hometown, and a plethora of pyramids; it's all there. (By the way, the aforementioned attractions are just a few of the ones I have seen personally - but not all the pyramids of course.)
With that said, the authors provide an interesting take on the idea of eccentric traveling. They organize based upon the type of trip a traveler might like. If you want an all religion tour or a "boring" tour, they provide the itinerary.
Along with a highlighter, this book goes along with me on every trip. I want to make sure I don't miss anything. It's great and I'm crossing them off as I see them. |
