Title: Like listening to a friend
Review: I purchased Tom Stienstra's latest book, 52 Weekend Adventures in Northern California. It arrived a couple of days ago and I've been reading through it a bit at a time.Wow, I'm so impressed with Tom's writing style. It is perfectly descriptive, with a warm, appealing approach. The layout of the book couldn't be better. His "best" pages at the beginning really draw the reader to want to learn more. I love the "Insider's Tips" and the Campfire Stories" sections as well. These great tips tell me that Tom, or his friends, know what they are talking about and each is truly a tip from an expert. The campfire stories are relatable and also reveal he has actually visited the places he discusses. Reading this book is like listening to a friend.It was especially fun for me to read of places I've been as though I'm revisiting them. I can't wait to try his recommendations in places I haven't yet visited.It is no wonder Tom has won so many awards for his work. Thanks for a great reading journey. I've already ear tagged several pages as plans for future adventures.

Title: Tom is a master outdoor travel and camping story teller. An incomparable guide!
Review: This is so much more than another guide to parks around N. CA. Tom shares many details that tell me what I really want to know in deciding where I want to go and explore. Thanks to his wonderful guide, I have a list of at least a dozen places I am going to be checking out. Anyone thinking about camping this part of the state, this guide is a must-have.
