4-0 out of 5 stars Great reference for anyone seeking a guest ranch vacation
I picked my last 3 vacations using Gene's books.He hasn't steered me wrong yet!

5-0 out of 5 stars Book and website offer great dude ranch vacation resources
Ranch Vacations contains great information about dude ranch vacations. Lots of pictures.

Kilgore also maintains Ranchweb which features even more pictures and details about the dude ranches for those who are seriously considering a vacation on a dude ranch.

The book is a great starting point.

2-0 out of 5 stars disappointed
Gene runs a web site which we reviewed, and we read his book as well. We booked a ranch -- Wit's end--based on his book review, and the great web site for the ranch. It was a bad experience.It is impossible, so far as I can tell, to write and post a negative review on Gene's site. It appears he takes commissions for booking people into the places he writes up. So beware. The mystical person who appears on the cover of the book likely does not exist.It is a sales document, so that he can get commissions booking people to the ranches.Go back and read the book and you will see there is not one negative comment in it, just as there are no negative comments allowed on his web site.

4-0 out of 5 stars America the beautiful
Gene Kilgore's 'Ranch Vacations' should also be called America the beautiful because his various editions create a veritable smorgasbord of panoramic delights.

This is the quintessential America-the great ranches of the Great Plains states - and a whole lot more, including Canada and even the eastern regions of USA.

The vastness, colour, scenery, atmosphere all leap out of the pages of these books-enough to make this Aussie want to pack his bags and go a ranchin' tomorrow.

The only problem is determining location -there are just so many choices available in so many states.

While more information can be found on the web Kilgore's book has the advantage of easy cross reference and is transportable.

In this age of terrorism the beauty, tranquility and grandeur of America stands in ample contrast to those who wish to destroy the Great Republic.

Unlike those who seek to wreck and destroy, the people in this book, including the author, seek to build by offering the best hospitality and advice possible-and in doing so reveal an authentic part of America to both the reader at home and abroad.

5-0 out of 5 stars Beyond Comprehensive, Eminently Usable!
Gene Kilgore's Ranch Vacations is what all travel guides should strive for.Gene succinctly provides critical information on almost 200 ranches.He's identified and presents information on the major features that areimportant to ranch guests (number of guests, season, cost, closest airportand medical centers, activities, children's programs, accommodations,dining).He introduces a little history/background on each ranch (whichlargely seems to be taken from ranch brochures) but he also includes hisown capsule summary with each review that accurately captures the essenceof that ranch.Ranch Vacations allows the reader to easily compare ranchesto one another to find that perfect vacation destination!

Gene alsocross-indexes the ranches so it is easy to narrow down ranches that offercattle work, fly fishing, English-style riding, or those that are adults'oriented, resort-like, and wheelchair accessible.The guide also containswonderful black & white and color photos of the ranches.

While I'vedone a lot of ranch searching on the internet, and use Gene's ranch websiteextensively, I always come back to my Ranch Vacations guide.It providesfingertip access to side-by-side ranch comparisons - something that isstill difficult to do on the internet! ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Cross country Skiing in Yosemite
Useful book, helpful info on trails. could be more detailed, book was in condition described and was shipped promptly.

4-0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive description of Yosemite ski tours
This book has 34 or so ski tours at all levels in 78 pages. It covers not just the Badger Pass area but also Yosemite Valley south wall chutes (for advanced skiers!), Crane Flat north of the valley, Tuolumne Meadows, Tioga Pass to the east, and 3 Trans-Sierra tours. Detailed b&w topo maps trace each tour.

What's missing? An index would be nice (although it has a Table of Contents).Also, I would like the old ski trails described. These trails went down from the top of the downhill ski area (near Tempo Dome) down to Highway 41. The one still trail that's still maintained is described (Chinquapin), but what about Strawberry Creek. Old signs mark the run.Also what about the trail from Ostrander Lake to Buena Vista Peak or Horse Ridge? ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Great Book to Introduce Yellowtone and Beyond
Planning a trip out west to visit the National Parks, Bach's book was one of my first purchases. I'm glad I did. It not only prepared me for Yellowstone, but it also prepared me for my visits to Glacier and Yosemite National Parks. The gear lists and the general guidelines for hiking in the backcountry were invaluable in preparing a beginner backcountry hiker to the path ahead.

5-0 out of 5 stars Yellowstone Yes
This is the best trails book for any of the mountain states national parks. I have not found a book for Glacier or Rocky Mountain National parks as good as this book. The Kent and Donna Dannen guide to RMNP comes close. This book may look as if it is for backpackers, but it has lots of info for day hikes, too.

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The cross-country skiing events at the 2002 Winter Olympics were marred by drug problems. The winners of three races were disqualified after blood tests showed that three skiers had overly high red blood cell counts indicating the use of darbepoetin, a drug used to treat anemia. At the time, the drug was not specifically listed in the IOC's list of banned substances, but the Olympic rules generally prohibit doping of any kind, in accordance with its charter. After two years and several lawsuits in Olympic and Swiss courts, the skiers in question were stripped of all their medals from the 2002 Games. See the external links below for the official IOC press releases containing detailed information of the doping cases and their resolution, including initial, intermediate, and final amended results. This article gives the final medalists as decided on by the IOC in early 2004. ... Read more
