PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE "The Top 100 Rustic Vacations...'Extraordinarily beautiful wilderness surroundings' was one of the top criteria used by author Dave Johnson, who goes by the pen name Dusty Dave, in choosing the places to be included. But he adds in his introduction that "a 'rustic' vacation does not necessarily mean sleeping bags and outhouses. On the contrary, almost all of the places in this book have comfortable beds, running water and indoor toilets. What 'rustic' refers mostly to are cozy wooden cabins or lodges in remarkable forested settings." Recommendations range from the Sorrel River Ranch Resort, a luxury lodge with a spa in Moab, Utah, to the Birches, in Rockwood, Maine, where cabins rent for as little as $50 a day and activities include moose-watching cruises in the warmer months and ice fishing in winter on Moosehead Lake.." - Associated Press
