In
recent years driving diva Gerry Hempel Davis has logged over 100,000
miles on America’s highways and
byways, stumbling upon sites that range from the sublime to the ridiculous. Listed here are hundreds of her
favorite resorts, spas, hotels, parks, diners, B & Bs, shops, and many other attractions both grand and
gauche, as small as a roadside fruit stand and as large as the Waldorf Astoria. Have a yen to see an ostrich
farm while toodling along Arizona’s Route 10? Then this is the book for you. Shopping bug biting you as you
depart Birmingham, Alabama? Look no further than Bud’s Discount Center just down the road in Jasper. Adrift
in the Florida Keys in search of a consignment shop? Try the Pink Junktique at Mile Marker 98.1.
A Zagat for the Zingaro in all of us, 100,000 miles will take you to places you’ve never been, and give you a
new perspective on places you have, whether it’s a hot springs oasis or a five star hotel, a bakery or toy
factory, a cowboy museum or a book shop.
