got mines a bit ago and its pretty informative but I didn't feel it covered those little known places and that it tended to gleen the more popular 2-3-4 places in each state. Still worth having as a reference if you ride long distance alot.

We got ours last week too. Though I'm kinda disappointed. The scenic highways and byways are hovering out in the middle of nowhere. How do you you get there??? :lol:

Try taking US Highways with numbers that don't divide evenly with 5.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Do that at night and you find you're the only one on the road. Gets pretty spooky when theres a fog (while not being in deer country). Then you pull up to a village where most of the lights are off. I should go back there for Halloween.
One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.
