Not what I needed Pat Dillow Good book, but not what I wanted. I had in mind more of a coffee table book with lots of photography.. Wonderful Book I really love this book. Great pictures and full of fun info! I cannot wait to go on vacation this summer and visit some of the places mentioned. We actually stayed at the Pine Grove Cabins pictured in the book last year (2012) and it was wonderful. Looks just like the picture in the book and the hosts were fantastic! We stayed with them twice last year and cannot wait to go back this year.. Five Stars Kimberly Artmann Have several of these books, they are all great
