Journeys Throughout the Southwest:You Don't Have to Get Lost
to Find the Good Roads, by Martin C. Berke
Although this excellent guidebook is now nearly
eight years old, much of the information is still timely and
useful. Martin Berke, who also authored Motorcycle
Journeys Through New England, outlines itineraries
for sixty-six rides in the Four Corners area of Utah, Colorado,
Arizona, and New Mexico. The format for each of the routes
is structured around a summary that includes the total distance,
map routing and extensive notes about places to explore on
the way.
Some of the restaurant and lodging selections
along the routes provide evidence of the engagingly eccentric
personality of the author. The book is full of interesting
history tidbits and provides readers with plenty of ideas
to extend their personal exploration of the southwest region.
It makes a great companion book to Gary McKechnie's Great
American Motorcycle Tours, which won an award for
travel journalism in 2001.
