This trip web site would not have been possible without the following toys tools:

Reference sites and books
If I had checked these things more closely I wouldn't have missed stuff.
- Roadside America is the ultimate source for information about the kinds of thing I visit. Both the web site and the book are essential.
Road Trip USA : Cross-Country Adventures on America's Two-Lane Highways by Jamie Jensen is somewhere between a straight travel guide and an off-beat book like Roadside America. It has practical information, but it isn't stuffy like Frommer's or pretentious like Let's Go.
