Summary: Just Like Having a Local in the Right Seat!
Review: Here's another great book from Charles Wells to make four-wheeling less a stressful shot in the dark and more fun. When you can put more of your attention on the 'wheeling, the scenery and the companionship of friends and family, and less to not getting lost, the trip is always more enjoyable. I've used and reviewed all of Well's books and this one lives up to his usual high standard of accuracy, utility and value. In most cases, I've had a chance to take the book on a trip and spot check Well's work. I've almost given up trying to catch a mistake... because I haven't yet!. While I'm way too far east right now to spot check this time, I know parts of the area covered in this book very well and in those areas, I know he hit a bulls eye. The best part of Well's guides is the value for dollar. There's a lot of info packed into these books, from basic vehicle and trip prep, a primer on off-highway driving as well as specialized tips on the local areas. There's also a section on GPS and, of course, the maps and routes to some of the best four-wheeling SoCal has to offer. Guide to Southern California Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails is the fifth book by Wells on some of the best four-wheeling areas in the USA. May yours become as dog-eared and trail dusty as mine have become!
