Washington Coast Trail
Exploring Washington's Wild Olympic Coast
David Hooper
The Mountaineers, 1993
Price: $10.95
Exploring Washington's Wild Olympic Coast draws a comprehensive portrait
of this precious natural resource while guiding hikers and backpackers
along its 60-mile length. The hikes in this coastwalker's companion begin
at Cape Flattery and extend south to the Queets River, with complete directions,
descriptions, and access points provided for all. Whether done in a day
or linked together for longer trips, these walks are both educational and
enjoyable. For the ultimate coastal experience, camping and leisurely exploring
are a must. Here's how and where without getting outsmarted by the changing
tides. An epilogue on the environmental future of the Olympic Coast reminds
us of our own good fortune in intimately knowing such a wilderness, and
of our responsibility to preserve it for those who have not yet had the
privilege.

Walking The Shores of Cape Cod
Elliot Carr
Stoney Brook Publishing & Productions Inc., 1997
Price: $14.95
"Walking The Shores of Cape Cod is not like other books on Cape Cod and is probably not what many readers will expect. Although there is much adventure in it, it is not an adventure book. Although there is much appreciation of natural beauty in it, it is not a book on the natural pleasures on Cape Cod's shores. Instead, it attempts to convey the immense variety of the experiences in which one can partake while walking these shores. By focusing on 25 very different places and very different subjects on the way around the Cape, the book is intended to be a salad of Cape Cod's pleasures and the problems facing it -- past, present, and future. Hopefully, it will bring to readers a small portion of the joy and awe that walking the Cape did to me." Elliot Carr, from the book's preamble.Additional copies of this book may be ordered by sending $14.95
