Best Drives in San Diego,
As avid “get out of the house and take a drive” San Diegan’s we thought we already knew all the great drives in and around San Diego. Wrong. But Jack Brandais does! We have driven several of the suggested routes and found each to be outstanding! His directions are easy to follow, the outings are pleasurable from both the driver’s and passenger’s point of view, and the history and points of interest he includes adds to fun. His drives are definately worth the gasoline!!
We highly recommend this book to both locals and visitors alike as a great way to explore the diversity San Diego offers.

|We had so much fun,
My husband and just got home from one of the trips in the book, “Russians, Wineries and the Real Baja,” which goes from Ensenada, to Tecate, Mexico. We had a wonderful time. It is so beautiful and we saw a side of Mexico we never expected. I highly recommend this book.

|Lots of fun rides,
We just got the book after watching the story on Channel 10. Sunday we took our family on the drive to Palomar Mountain. All the “Stuff for Kids” listed really helped us. Our two boys actually turned off the video player and checked out the scenery as we bumped up Nate Harrison Grade. We ended the day at Bates Farm and had a wonderful time. Thanks for a great book. We never knew all this stuff was right here in San Diego.
