This is the
third book by Eric Peterson that I have
reviewed in the last four years. The first
was Roadside
Americana in 2004, followed by Ramble:
A Field Guide to the USA in 2006.
Peterson's books are quirky, entertaining
and excellent resources for planning road
trips. He discovers fascinating attractions
and people in places that most of us wouldn't
even begin to know how to look for. Paraphrasing
one of his descriptions about the "Ultimate
Taxi" in Aspen, I think the highest
and best use of this totally engrossing
epic is that Ramble Colorado: A Wanderer's
Guide to the Offbeat, Overlooked, and Outrageous
is the best book to carry with you if you
don't have a destination in mind and are
in no hurry to get there...[Read
