Road trips are the backbone of many family vacation memories, for better or worse. It’s always fun to wonder about the history and places you drive through. But unless you bring a tour guide with you, there are so many stories known only to the locals. Sam with Words of Windsor would like to help with this dilemma (at least when you’re driving through Colorado)! Reading Colorado: A Literary Road Map is the perfect driving companion. The book is broken into sections based on Highway number and which part of the state you’re driving through. And it doesn't just talk about I-25 and I-70. From Highway 24 on the Eastern Plains to Highway 149 in the San Luis Valley, everywhere is covered. Composed of a mix of excerpts from novels, poetry, biographies, and letters, the collection will pull you into each part of the state and help you feel like a local. Imagine reading from literary legends like Hunter Thompson or Jack Kerouac to Colorado authors Sandra Dallas or Laura Pritchett. It doesn’t get any better than having them all contained in one incredible book. Sam highly recommends this book be first on your packing list for your next Colorado adventure. Shop this and many more titles at Words of Windsor, Monday through Saturday, 10 am-6 pm.
