Jaunt to Julian: Mountains, pie, great roads; what else do you need? (A Joyride Guru Journey Book 8)
Description
The classic San Diego day trip is the drive to Julian, elevation 4,200 feet. Generations have enjoyed this former gold-mining town’s old-time charm and character, as well as its apple pie. The area also has some of the most enjoyable roads in the region.
The historic mining town, dating back to the 1850s, is as well known locally as the world-famous San Diego Zoo. It’s one of those places visited by natives and newcomers alike.
While the beach and bay might be the way the world sees San Diego, part of its self-image is this town of about 1,500 people in the Laguna Mountains, just over an hour’s drive from central San Diego. If you haven’t been there, you can’t call yourself a San Diegan.
Part of the Joyride Guru series on Kindle, the books take drivers to breathtaking views on isolated highways away from the city where they learn more about one of the world’s most beautiful regions. They’re perfect for the driving enthusiasts, families, sports-car drivers, SUV owners and ecotourists, as well as motorcyclists and bicyclists.
San Diego writer Jack Brandais is taking technology for a ride in this new collection, which highlights some of the best roads in San Diego County that he’s driven since 2000 with readers of the San Diego Union-Tribune and in his best-selling 2003 book, Weekend Driver San Diego.
“I’ve been crisscrossing this county finding the best roads for you to enjoy and explore,” said Brandais. “We have it all here — beaches, mountains and deserts. Checking out these roads is a great way to spend a day.”
The Joyride Guru trips are interactive e-books available on the Amazon.com Kindle platform. They give drivers turn-by-turn directions, a locator map, and links to more details on what you’re exploring. Drive on some of the same roads that car companies use to show of their beautiful vehicles.
Whether your ride is a minivan or Maserati, a Jeep or jalopy, hot rod or Hyundai, there’s a perfect road nearby. Drives include twisting, curving roads and dirt trails from to the beach to the mountains and the desert. Perfect for families and anyone who wants to take a different journey.
