Life is a journey. Here to
help you escape the bumps and enjoy the ride through Northern California is the thoroughly revised 9th edition of WEEKEND ADVENTURES IN SAN FRANCISCO & NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. Award-winning author Carole Terwilliger Meyers, who published the first edition of her book in 1977, invites you to visit the vast array of vacation
wonders in Northern California. You can spend the night in a coastal lighthouse, play chess on one of the two largest chessboards in the United States, and pan for gold during the day and

authentic 49er miner's cabin. WEEKEND ADVENTURES has something for everyone--from weekend warriors anxious to test their mettle to
world-weary slugabeds who want breakfast brought to them on a tray. Weighing in at almost 1 1/2 pounds, WEEKEND ADVENTURES is packed with interesting places to visit: the Santa Cruz mountains,
the coast south to Morro Bay and north to Eureka, the Wine Country, the Russian River area, Sacramento and the Delta, Highway 101 north and south, the national parks, the Gold Rush Country, Lake Tahoe, and
the Mt. Shasta area. San Francisco and the Bay Area--including the East Bay, Marin, and the Peninsula--are also detailed. Former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown says, "Ms. Meyers' love for the City and her
familiarity with its abundant charms are evident in each entry." Each destination includes information on what to do, where to stay, and where to eat. Helpful extras include the
most direct driving route and interesting stops along the way. Information on family-friendly places is included, and the text is filled with intriguing historical tidbits and unusual facts.
Additional chapters are devoted to ski areas, family camps, houseboats, river and pack trips, and assorted other adventures. |
