Classics, but still good
A Child's California

and contrasts. October 2000
Daytrips San Francisco & Northern California
50 One Day Adventures in the City, the Bay Area, and Overnighting
Farther Afield
by David Cheever
Unlike the dime-a-dozen Bay Area travel guides geared for tourists,
this book is a great resource for residents. Do not mistake this
book for yet another "weekend getaways around the Bay Area"
travel book, either; this book does not assume you have three
days off. If you live and work in the Bay Area, you can enjoy
most of the trips in this book on your regular weekend off without
having to carve into your precious vacation time. Sept 1999 Paperback.
