Moon Texas

by Andy Rhodes

As a longtime Austin resident and writer for the Texas Historical Commission, Andy Rhodes knows the best ways to experience the Lone Star State. In keeping with the "everything is bigger in Texas” motif the state is famous for, Rhodes covers a colossal amount of sights and activities, including catching up-and-coming indie bands at Austin’s South by Southwest music festival and exploring the rugged landscape of Big Bend National Park. Rhodes also offers unique trip strategies that help travelers plan trips according to their interests, such as Texas Food—an exploration of Southern cooking and Tex-Mex—and Overlooked Natural Wonders. With detailed information on everything from surfing and fishing the Gulf Coast to checking out museums in Dallas, Moon Texas gives travelers the tools they need to create a more personal and memorable experience.

No, no, no. I checked this book out to help me plan my trip to Fort Worth later this month. His 8 "highlights" for "Austin" only include 3 in Austin, the rest are in Lockhart, Waco and Fredericksburg.

I liked this book enough that I went out and bought a copy for my own use. It's easy to read and lots of useful and practical information.
