Smart RV Travel Guide For The Lower 48 States List of RV & National Parks, the Cost, the Amenities, What to See and Do in Each State Smart RV travel guide For the Continental 48 states is a three-year compilation of all the RV parks and National parks in each and every state in the continental US. I outlined all the amenities they offer, the actual cost to stay and so much more. We gathered this data from our last three trips across all 48 states. I also included what to see, where to visit and what they are famous for in each of the states. For each state, I created a detail travel plan that covers everything that is worth seeing along with where to stay while visiting that state. There are 48 chapters, each representing one individual state. Each state is divided into three categories. "Suggested RV trips" - this is where I outline what the main attractions are for each of the states including cities, next I name each and every RV parks, the amenities they offer and what the costs are. Finally, I discuss all the state parks in each state and what perks and goodies they offer along with actual costs. By profession, I was in instructional design, where I designed various commercial and industrial training modules and helped create mini-guides which are far from writing an RV travel guide. I am not qualified to write such guides, but after our 3rd around the country trips, my wife made a convincing argument that people like us could truly benefit from such guides which we didn't have when we first started traveling around our great country. It took me little over nine months to gather all the information and start writing. It is a no-fluff guide with no storytelling as I am good at writing fiction, so I didn't even try, I stayed with the facts and information that I know is helpful to everyone that is looking to take a trip around our good ole' USA. My wife and I were lucky enough to be able to retire at age 52. We both share one passion, and that is the beautiful wide open roads and to see this great vast country of ours. We were able to buy us gently used Class A Fleetwood Southwind for a very reasonable price. It is spacious, maybe a little too spacious for just two of us, but we love every bit of it. It drives beautifully, and the interior comfort is almost like a 5-star hotel. We both love living in it. We spend roughly five months out of the year on the road; we take a 2.5 month long trip around the lower half of the country during the spring, then another 2.5-3 month's long trip during late summer to early fall around the upper part of the country. Since we have been to each of the lower 48 states a dozen or so times and tried out various parks and amenities in every state. We have decided to share all our knowledge here with you. Enjoy the freedom of open roads.

If you're looking to plan the grand trip of a lifetime, this book is for you! I have been traveling in my RV across North America full time since 2012. I was laid off from my corporate job as an accountant, and I needed a solution for living cheaply. I decided that it was more economical - and fun - to live fulltime on the road. Ever since, I have been keeping notes and records about the sort of RV parks, resorts, and campgrounds, where I have personally camped. I also asked around in my circle of other RV enthusiasts to compile the listings in this book. I decided to compound these notes into this comprehensive directory. Think of this book as a personally recommended and curated listing of RV parks, resorts, and campgrounds. I am mainly focused on how your experience would be at these locations while traveling in an RV specifically. I have not included many notes on primitive or tent camping, as all of these locations offer amenities such as electric and water hookups. Many locations in this directory do not offer tent camping sites. I have not sold any spots in this book to any of these businesses. None of them have paid to be a part of this listing. I chose the businesses to be included in this book as those places where either I personally stayed and had a great time or one of my friends in the RV community personally recommended it to me. You will notice that nearly every listing allows pets at their facility, as I know that our furry companions are very special to us, I wanted to make those listing a highlight for your vacation planning. There are also no national or state parks listed here. This is as complete a listing of private RV parks, resorts, and campgrounds as can be handpicked directly from those who are in the RV community. This is a straightforward directory listing of places to stay with your RV in the lower 48 continental United States. I have compiled the listings into their own tables, outlining the necessary qualities of each campground, including their physical address and phone numbers. The information is as current and accurate as I could possibly ensure it to be. Each table listing outlines: Street address Phone number Website (It will be clickable if you're reading the eBook version.) Operating days Price Discounts Offered Maximum width and length of the sites The total number of spaces offered Road conditions (paved, gravel, dirt) Any restrictions (for example, if they have any conditions concerning pets) A list of a few of the amenities the resort offers I have listed the campgrounds by state, and most of the states I have split into regions so you can better decide where you might stay by where you want to be in that state. AS A BONUS If you purchase the paperback version of this book, you can download the eBook version for FREE. The best thing about the eBook version is that the links to the websites of the resorts and campgrounds (if they have one listed) is hyperlinked and clickable. This could save you time when you're trying to research your vacation.

The story of one of the greatest unsolved problems in mathematics What is the shortest possible route for a traveling salesman seeking to visit each city on a list exactly once and return to his city of origin? It sounds simple enough, yet the traveling salesman problem is one of the most intensely studied puzzles in applied mathematics—and it has defied solution to this day. In this book, William Cook takes readers on a mathematical excursion, picking up the salesman's trail in the 1800s when Irish mathematician W. R. Hamilton first defined the problem, and venturing to the furthest limits of today’s state-of-the-art attempts to solve it. He also explores its many important applications, from genome sequencing and designing computer processors to arranging music and hunting for planets. In Pursuit of the Traveling Salesman travels to the very threshold of our understanding about the nature of complexity, and challenges you yourself to discover the solution to this captivating mathematical problem.

The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.
