Roadtripping across the country has been a rite of passage for generations. From Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady's On the Road , to Easy Rider to Thelma and Louise , the journey is the destination, and in Frommer's MTV US Roadtrips , the old school travel guides and cutting edge authors combine their talents and resources for 10 eclectic rides. Maya Kroth pursues the 'cue from Austin to Charlotte in a Southern BBQ Roadtrip Ethan Wolff visits the Desert Southwest, on the trail of the first Americans Ashley Marinaccio stays at haunted hotels in search of the unexplained and paranormal, in the Weird Northeast. Our other authors go everywhere from Down the Shore, through the Urban Heartland, and on a tour of West Coast Underground Rock Clubs.
This is a great travel book - it doesn't just send you to the typical toursit destinations.

MTV Road Trips appears almost daunting in size, but it is well written and fun to read, particulalry the chapter by Dara Bramson. Great insights and hints, and the book is fast reading...never a dull moment. I highly recommend.
American Highways section

I bought the book with one trip in mind and ended up being more interested in the American Highways section. There is so much info in this part of the book and it was easy to read. Except for New Mexico I had never considered a visit to any of these places. I didn't know that Nashville had a Parthenon, or how Branson got started. I like the way everything is organized, loved the suggestions for music, loved the humor, too. All in all a good read with or without the trip.MTV Road Trips U.S.A. (MTV Guides)
The "Retro Roadtrip" was amazing, and so is this guide!

My friends and I just got back from Valerie Willis's "Retro Roadtrip" and it was a blast! The guide was easy and fun to read, and very comprehensive. It's a perfect travel guide for bored college students with nothing to do this summer. We can't wait to go on another one of these roadtrips and hopefully they are all as incredible as the "Retro Roadtrip". I'm really glad my friend purchased this book!
