This wonderfully detailed account of a solo journey taken along the back roads, shoreline trails and mountain paths of coastal California is a comprehensive celebration of nature and travel with a classic-rock soundtrack that puts the reader enjoyably in the passenger seat. From forested coastal highlands to long narrow valleys and all along the glimmering blue Pacific Ocean, A Drive Down the Coast is a welcome escape and an inexpensive ticket to a uniquely scenic road trip ? all from the comfort of your favorite reading chair.
