Wyman makes a good argument to take the long way in Northern California As a long-time resident living in Northern California and a photographer, I've found that David Wyman's book not only served as a guide but as an insight into the history of the routes he describes. It's given me a deeper appreciation of the richness of our our area's cultural heritage that I've not found or heard of anywhere else. I've either driven or pedaled along some of the routes before reading the book but did so again with eyes more widely open and re. Steve Marshall said A guidebook to the little known treasures of California. Famous for it's glitzy tourist meccas such as Hollywood, San Francisco and Venice Beach, many visitors - and not a few residents - are unaware that California offers breathtaking vistas and surprising varieties of experience only miles from the more popular tourist destinations.Wyman's excellent guidebook sections out chunks of Northern California (as far south as Fresno, near Yosemite, and as far north as Eureka, near the Oregon border.) and guides you throu. placesI want to see The section on Bodie Ca. (the ghost town is worth the price). Clear easy to follow driving suggestions, even for a directionally challenged ex- New Yorker. The book works as either a photo or road guide.
