The Southern Appalachians: Southeastern Swimming Holes covers mountain streams and small rivers from the Virginias to Georgia, the Blue Ridge from east to west, and summer fun from top to bottom. Clothing optional spots are noted. Icons tell dog owners if four-legged hikers are appropriate and families can tell at a glance if the journey is a good one for the little dippers. Topo maps annotated with GPS and written directions set a standard for clarity and ease of use. Send in proof of purchase to register on the website, then print individual maps from the screen.

About the Author:

Pancho Doll is a recovering journalist and outdoor writer. Since leaving the Los Angeles Times in 1996 he has annually traveled a distance roughly equal to a circumnavigation of the equator, searching creeks and rivers of America for the very best swimming holes. The resultant Day Trips with a Splash series and the companion web site will list more than 1,000 locations by spring 2006. The Day Trips with a Splash series has been featured nationally, including National Public Radio's Morning Edition, National Geographic Adventure Magazine, Esquire, and important regional outlets like the Los Angeles Times, Atlanta Journal-Constitution and San Francisco Chronicle.
