Undiscovered America: 250 Great Places You Might Have Missed

Sadly the week this book was released Don Martin died doing what he loved best. He was out kayaking in the early morning, trying to sight a moose and her baby that he'd seen the day before. So no more witty reparte in travel books. Ickybod (his beloved Winnebego) has gone on his last adventure. Fortunately through this book, Don lives on. The book has some wonderful insight into places that are secrets to everyone but the locals. If you're a car traveler, keep this in your car or RV to help you plan those wonderful little side trips that somehow seem to elicit the best memories. Each location has not only a short editorial on just what Don thought made it special, but there is also a list of places to visit while there and where to go for more information. So while Don will be missed, his work lives on in the pages of this book. Hopefully his wife of 21 years, Betty, will continue her travels in his honor. I know that my next trip will include at least one of his side trips and will be bittersweet knowing he won't be around to share my stories with.
