NEW BOOK GUIDES ENTHUSIASTS DOWN TWO-LANE ROAD OF HISTORY

New Pacific Northwest regional travel guide released covering Historic US Highway 99 through Oregon and Washington.

KLAMATH RIVER, CA- Just in time for the peak Northwest road-tripping season, Living Gold Press announces the release of the third book in their popular series, That Ribbon of Highway III:Highway 99 Through the Pacific Northwest. These essential companions for Western off-the-interstate jaunts include maps and photo tours and cover the entire historical highway that stretches from Canada to Mexico.

If youve ever wondered how our modern super highways evolved from humble foot trails and wagon roads, the Ribbon of Highway series will set you as straight as the interstate. If youve ever been curious about the original course of our own Highway 99, these books, which are a unique combination of regional histories and guidebooks, will take you there, from behind the windshield of your car or from the comfort of your favorite chair.

Be it a graceful bridge, a classic neon sign, or a stretch of concrete pavement dating to 1915, the highway relics celebrated in these books will awaken images of the less-harried mode of travel of the mid 20th century.

Some sections of the old highway retain the 99" number. But in most places the old highway route has been renamed and disguised. Books in hand, a drive along the old highway is fun trip back into recent history.

The publishers maintain a website (www.livinggoldpress.com) featuring highway related articles and a Postcard of the Month" where the books can be purchased online. Or, ask for them at your local bookstore.
