Fischer, M. L., Cosmic Coastal
Chronicles: A wanderer's adventures on the Pacific
Coast. "They started as little islands of sport and adventure,
the summer and weekend trips along the coast in search of surf,
places to kayak, and hiking/biking trails. At some point they took
on a life of their own, shaping my awareness and appreciation,
mapping out the direction of my inner growth. With each discovery
on the road, I discovered something about myself and my place in
the world. The deeper I traveled into the beauty and wonder of the
Pacific Coast, the more I understood the mystic principle that
everything is interconnected, that the many are one. Saving our
magnificent natural environment and saving our eternal spirits are
one and the same. I realized that each experience in life is a
universe unto itself, each moment an eternity. Whether catching
the perfect wave, paddling silently in misty fjords, hiking
through shaded redwood groves, speeding through winding canyons on
a motorcycle, or simply watching a banana slug inching along a
trail, the moment is everything, and life is a celebration. This
is a poignant and playful love affair with life and with the land
that has educated and enriched me." Eclectic Press, 1997
Jensen, Jamie, Road Trip
USA: Cross-country adventures on America's two-lane
highways. Exit the interstates and create your own driving
adventures on America's two-lane scenic highways. This second
edition offers expanded coverage of 35,000 miles of classic
blacktop, combining a versatile format with an effervescent style.
Features include: A flexible network of route combinatoins,
extensively cross-referenced to allow hundreds of possible
itineraries. Essential tips for the road: call letters of
lively radio stations. Survival guides for two dozen cities, and
details on where to eat and sleep. More than 100 meticulously
detailed maps. (Editor: I wish I'd had this book over the
last five-years of travels down many of those same two-lane
highways with the Browsers Bookmobile, though some of my own
adventures were in towns that didn't even have a place to eat.)

Leo,, Jennifer L. ed., What Color is your
Jockstrap? Funny men and women write from the road. Balls out
travel! This time, it's the battle of the sexes. In the grand
tradition of trilogies, there must be a fourth. The author went on
the hunt and what she found was the strangest sight of all: men on
their knees, begging to be included in the fun. Thus, the series
turns coed with another lunatic array of travel adventures.
