About this title

From the Author

I spent months revising and editing my first edition of this book. I found that most of the comments said that the first edition was not detailed enough and didn't contain enough information for it to be a helpful guide. After reviewing the first edition, I could say that I agreed with those criticisms. So, I went back and added more maps and contact information for each place that I talked about in the book. I also made it more obvious that I was merely suggesting a specific route one could take to see the most they could in each state. These routes I have personally traveled myself, or I would not have suggested that you go that way. I hope this revised second edition, with more than 200 pages of new information, meets your needs as you travel across this great nation. Thank you for your interest in my writing efforts.Happy RV-ing!
