Revisiting Washington (Guidebook)

This is really cool. The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation has taken a guidebook of Washington State from 1941 and revisited all the tours and tips in it and updated it for the 21st century.



They've added video clips from the era, radio broadcasts and plenty of photos from the times along with modern updates such as GPS coordinates and PDF printouts of routes.

It's pretty interesting to see what's become of some of the highlights after 50 years.

Best of all, Revisiting Washington: A Guide to the Evergreen State is being released for free on CD (available at most state museums) and free download (PC only).

This should be great for discovering the back country roads for motorcycle trips around the state.
