I went to this link:

http://www.byways.org/map_request.html

And requested my free "brochure" on scenic roads, expecting to get some pamphlet or something. What showed up is a >450-page book produced by National Geographic called "Guide to Scenic Highways and Byways", in full color and with some pretty good stuff! Looking at the back it normally sells for $25, so this is good deal. Go get yours! (Just uncheck the box at the bottom telling them they can share your email address...)

Thanks again to Ralph for the tip on this book.:up:

I just received mine today and its impressive. Hours of reading and photos for someone like myself that is a frequent traveler (or if your just curious about scenic areas througout the country).:)

Well they said it would take 2-3 weeks to get the book. There was a number on there to call if you don't get it by then tho!
Awesome find!! This will be a great read over the winter in planning trips!!

The best part of driving through Kansas is the sign that says "Missouri, 20 miles" because it means you're almost out of that place.

I'll be missing that sign. Headed over to Indiana on I-80 cause we're going to see my mom first who lives about an hour out of Chicago. But we'll be hitting Kansass on the way home from Indy though. :down: Gonna try and stop there to see Brizz. :up:

+1. MO is somewhat funny though since every other billboard is for porn. You'll see one where "Jesus Heals and Restores" at the Adult Superstore off the N side of I-70...

We saw some entertaining shit going to Virginia and back.

Gotta love I-75 through central Florida.
Every 15 miles there's a billboard for a total dive of a strip club/adult bookstore advertising:
"Free Showers for Truckers"

I almost stopped just to see if that was a euphemism or what.
Wonder if R.Kelly prequents the place?

I was curious to know if anyone has used any of the routes in this book?
If you do use it, it might be a good idea to check and see if the road(s) are paved if you will be riding.
My parents drove to Lake Havasu, then Vegas, the Grand Canyon, and back to NM. While they were on the road I thought I would tell them of a "senic drive" I found in my new book. They took the road and it turned into a shitty dirt road that wasn't all the senic.
Just a thought, Im sure the book has lots of great roads to take, but if you're riding, you don't want to end up on dirt!
