“Eric Peterson says California ‘just might be the greatest state for road trips.’ And he's written a new book to prove his point.”—Associated Press
“Whether you actually visit California to use the book is not important.”—American Road
In the third installment of his unique and unpredictable Ramble travel series, Eric Peterson spotlights California’s most quirky and intriguing attractions, sharing his personal travel experiences along the way. Each regional section features atypical tourist destinations, maps, oddball stats, required reading, viewing, and listening lists, as well as the typical guidebook fare: places to eat, drink, and catch some Zs. The travelogue portions offer more vicarious tidbits as Peterson meanders through the state, sharing his openness to new experiences and self-deprecating humor. With such adventures as “A Beer Drinker in Wine Country,” “The Desert, Man,” and “Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll,” Ramble California calls you to the open road and your next idiosyncratic journey.
