DESCRIPTION:
TERRIBLE DIRECTIONS Follow the directions in this book and you will waste precious hiking time driving around looking for trailheads or, worse yet, you'll end up hiking around in vain. We're not bad with directions, either. I'm a former Army land navigation and orienteering instructor, so I knows how to read a map!It took 6 hikes, but my boyfriend and I finally learned our lesson. We either had great difficulty finding the 6 hikes we selected from this book or ended. "Bad directions, lots of great hike descriptions, though" according to T. Slater. I decided to make this a summer of hiking in my own backyard, and I agree, I had trouble finding many of the hikes because of things like Lee Hill Rd instead of the streetsign, Lee Hill Drive, little things like that can throw you off, I took my own computer maps with me before most hikes.

We headed to one place with a dog, but were met with a 'no pets' policy not mentioned in the book. Or distances were omitted or inaccurate. I hope the authors hear of my complaint - don't just write a book for its shelf appeal.
