Best Canadian National Parks Travel Guides
The Eastern version will be released in late March and will include a list of all missing people in each edition and a concluding chapter that draws both books together for conclusions. Some of the issues that are discussed in each edition: • The National Park Service attitude toward missing people • How specific factors in certain cases replicate themselves in different clusters • Exposing cases involving missing children that aren’t on any national database • Unusual behavior by bloodhounds/canines involved in the search process • How storms, berries, swamps, briar patches, boulder fields and victim disabilities play a role in the disappearance • The strategies of Search and Rescue personnel need to change under specific circumstances Major news organizations do a deplorable job of covering stories and issues which are deemed too unusual or too far outside the box. At a minimum, this story deserves space on the front page of every newspaper in the country, and it warrants a formal high level inquiry by the federal agencies whose files leave little doubt that something very strange is unfolding in our wilderness.

"I was intrigued by the subject and had to search for this book because it is out of print."
"Very thought provoking factual reading!"
"Fascinating book!"
"You wont find any better reading, all based on factual events, you can get a lot cheaper on his website."
"THE U.S. GOVERNMENT seems to be complicit in covering up countless missing persons cases. Read some of Mr. Paulides other books to get an idea of what may be happening to some of the missing people."
"Russia is a heavily forested country and has quite a bit of folklore that may help explain what is happening with these strange disappearances. People appeased the forest spirit by bringing gifts and offerings before hiking or hunting. Once I read a book written by missionaries in Africa who said that the evil spirits there often took people, especially in families that were fighting. Often people go from working at a desk, then suddenly vacation arrives, and they pile everything in a car, drive for hours, and then force themselves to hike with packs over long distances without any letup. There are altitude differences, weather changes, and alcohol consumption that can lower a person's resistance to strange and unexpected things."
"That is the way I approached the Missing 411 series, and I urge those skeptics who don't believe in consipiracies, aliens, UFO's, Bigfoot, etc., to set your strong beliefs on a shelf while you read this book and just consider what is occurring. Stories of missing children and especially toddlers, can begin to weigh heavily on your heart and mind and soul, but it seems you have to keep going so that you can understand the enormity of the situation, and again, the similarities of what is happening."

"It has been 4 years since we made the trip, and I know that things are always changing, it's great to have an updated source of info all in one spot."
"People in the lower 48 just don't realize how remote of an area the Alcan Hwy is and it nice to know with this book it tells you what's around you mile by mile."
"If you google while you have wifi and go by the cardinal rules of the alcan (get gas every half tank), you can get there without this."
"I read about this guide on a travel site and I am so glad that I purchased it."
"This book has a VERY comprehensive breakdown of all the major highways in Alaska, what you can see at each mile marker, where all the beautiful camera spots are, what you might expect to see at the suggested photo op sites, what the road conditions are for that year, (if there's any frost heave, for example) or if the roads are rough in certain sections....where the gas stations are, how many miles till the next one, where the best pullouts are for views of the Alaskan ranges."
"In fact, Alaska and Northwest Canada offer an unsurpassed opportunity to experience a pre-urban world of rugged country, covered with forests, streams, lakes, mountains, tundra, glaciers, and lots of wildlife, where the traveler can spend hours or days out of sight of his or her fellow humans. The opportunities for outdoor adventure, whether hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, skiing, snow machining, dog sledding, fishing or hunting, are simply fantastic. The Milepost offers a mile-by-mile travelogue, updated annually, for the main roads, along with maps, diagrams of some key towns, photographs, and advertisements for attractions, accomodations, and other travel facilities."

Dear Bob and Sue is the story of our (Matt and Karen Smith) journey to all 59 U.S. National Parks. Still, another quotes Karen as saying that men who use a laptop while it sits directly on their lap expose themselves to the risk of “cooking their testicles.” For the sake of full disclosure, Karen’s testicle comment offends Matt as well. We also talk about drinking beer and eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Matt and Karen have been married for over 34 years and live in the Seattle, Washington area.

"St. Helens, the Columbia River Gorge, the Oregon Coast, Redwood National & State Parks, and Great Basin National Park. I laughed so hard, I had tears in my eyes as I would read aloud excerpts to my husband."
"I loved this account of Matt and Karen's national park adventures."
"I really enjoyed this book ..."
"You not only learn about visiting all our National Parks but meet Karen and Matt and laugh and agonize along with them as they travel."
"The emphasis upon alcohol consumption and even getting drunk, was puzzling because it - and the childish behavior in hotels, restaurants, out in the parks - conflicted with the authors' claim that they are middle aged adults who have raised a family and are turning 50. I kept reading beyond the point of finding the book somewhat repetitive, and rather annoying in the way that the couple began racing to parks just long enough to get the park stamp, take a quick hike, then mark that park "done" because I wanted to read about their experiences in two of my favorite parks: Acadia National Park in Maine and Badlands in South Dakota. The project was a worthy one but it occurred to me that it was a race, not a journey, done just to turn out a book, or to travel and be able to deduct the cost on their taxes. (I'm thinking I might be wrong about that, but the book gives one that impression: that it's all about getting the passports stamped and to be able to say they did it.)."
"There are a lot of honest and funny descriptions of those kinds of irritations one has to endure when they spend so much time together. The idea that thousands of people are reading about how it seems to be ok to touch things and otherwise think the rules are there for other people is pretty much my last straw."
"I now know that if one wants to, one can see most of the National Parks staying in accommodations other than motels, one can find pizza and beer near by and one can get by on an endless supply of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches."
