For
those of you keeping track, nearly 240 days
have elapsed since the last RoadTrip Report
newsletter was sent to you. Nope, we haven't
been on an extended holiday -- we've been working
on scores of new articles, book reviews, road
trip resources, and a bunch of new funny road
signs. If you haven't visited RTA recently,
we invite you to check out:
Thirty-two
new Funny
Signs including this week's contribution
from Elizabethtown, Kentucky.
Thirty
new Book
Recommendations covering the spectrum
of road trip literature and twelve new audio
books that are great for enjoying when you're
on a roll.
Five
new RoadTrip
Recipes by RTA food guru Dennis Weaver,
including this week's ANZAC
Biscuits, cookies with an interesting history
from Australia and New Zealand. We've tried
all of Dennis's culinary suggestions, and they're
great!
Eight
new articles
about the RV lifestyle written by full-timing
experts Jaimie Hall and Alice Zyetz. In October,
Alice will be writing about leaf-peeping by
RV.
A
brand new department that spotlights what we're
calling Roadside
Marvels. You'll find information about
wonders ranging from trees festooned with shoes,
outdoor sculpture, and "vehicular phenomena"
to eye-catching architecture like the World's
Tallest Thermometer and a gate
made of deer antlers.
Seven
RTA contributors have published 29 articles
on topics ranging from a circuitous adventure
through California's
eastern Sierra Nevada mountains, tips
for keeping your ice chest cool, road trip
reports from eastern
Idaho and Glacier
National Park, and how
to choose a power inverter for your roadtrip
vehicle. RoadTrip Advisor Judy Carter wrote
a great article for travelers in a hurry called
"The
Art of the Speed Run."
Well
over a thousand new members have joined
in the Great
American RoadTrip Forum since an updated
version was launched in March, 2005. Current
membership in the forum exceeds 4,000, and we
continue to be amazed and humbled by the depth
of knowledge shared on the boards daily. We
invite you to browse and share, too!
All
in all, a lot of good stuff has been happening
at RoadTrip America. We hope you will stop by
today and kick the tires and tell us what you
think!
Yours
from the road,
Mark Sedenquist & Megan Edwards
