I Was Just Joking (The Book Is Actually Worth Ten Stars)

For all of you "The People's Guide to Mexico" aficionados, the "Camping Book" is not merely a re-hash of the PGTM. Inside you'll find camping and hiking stories that will leave you smiling. Besides trailside lore, there are a multitude of tips for making everything from a successful hammock hang to an adobe stove for banana nut bread.And here is a bit of gossip: Carl and Lorena are (extremely)alive and well, and best of all there may be a brand new book coming out in the next year or two (or so). I can't tell you what it's about, except that over the years a lot of People's Guide fans have been clamoring for xxxx for a new book and (Drat! Carl is pelting me with bits of cyber fruit). Anyway you heard it (unofficially of course) here first.

My Highest Recommendation

Read this book if you enjoy Mexico, if you don't know Mexico, if you like to travel, if you hate travel but want the experience, if you like camping, or if you just want an easily-read travel book with a lot of humor. This is a companion book to Franz' "The People's Guide To Mexico", another book that I strongly recommend.
