WASHINGTON TIMES " I have no idea who Dusty Dave is -- if that is his real name -- but someone in the world of publishing needs to give this man an award for one of the most delightful, informative and worthwhile efforts I've ever seen. What you have here are 240 pages filled with rustic vacation possibilities all over North America. Yes, most of them consist of beautiful western guest ranches, lodges and resorts geared to people who love breathtaking, wild scenery, horseback riding, trout and salmon fishing, canoeing, log buildings and fragrant wood fires that hark back to an earlier era on this continent. Dusty Dave, however, didn't just concentrate on western places that range from New Mexico to glorious Alaska. He also provides closer destinations for Easterners. There are a couple of camps and resorts in Maine, five in New York, even one in Virginia, plus a number in Ohio, Michigan and Minnesota. Dave also offers spots from Quebec to the Yukon. Now add Mexico, from the Baja California to Quintana Roo, and you have a terrific selection to choose from. Locally, in Montebello, Va., 55 miles west of Charlottesville, there's the Three Sisters Log Cabin, available for around $150-$200 a day for the entire cabin. Fishing rods and firewood are included. As with all the other vacation suggestions, you'll get two pages of bright color photos that leave no doubt about what will greet you. The illustrations frame solid written information, phone numbers and Web sites and cabin capacity. In the case of the Virginia location, it would be for up to eight people and it is available year-round. I can say without reservation that I would be happy in any of the 100 rustic beauties.
