Indiana Finally Gets a Great Hiking Guide.......2004-06-02

As an avid hiker in southwest Ohio, I had searched for years for a decent hiking guide for my neighbors in the Hoosier state. I saw Falcon had one out, so I decided to give it a shot. What I found was a real gem.

There are 65 destinations described in this book with one hike per destination. The destinations range geographically from Indiana Dunes in the north to Hoosier National Forest and the famous Knobstone Trail in the south. Distances range from 1.5 miles to multi-day backpack treks, with the average at around 3 or 4 miles. Thus, there is something in here for every ability and every location.

Each hike contains a summary of the "critical facts" about the trail (length, difficulty, land management, nearby campgrounds, etc.) and a map of the trail that includes only the essential, but still enough, information. Trail descriptions are excellent, as are directions to the trailhead. The only minor drawback to this guide is the lack of a trail summary in the front of the book, a feature I have come to expect in most top-notch guides these days. Thus, you might have to do some page flipping to find a hike of interest to you. There is, however, a table of contents, so the impact of this omission is lessened.

In summary, this book is a great source of information and a real joy to read and use. You will find the best hiking Indiana has to offer described here. Further, this book easily beats any other guide to Indiana hiking on the market. I enthusiastically recommend this guide for purchase.

A Great Resource for Midwestern Hikers.......2001-06-05

My family enjoys day hiking and recently completed the Knobstone Trail in southeastern Indiana. We purchased this book in order to get ideas for future hiking trips. If you enjoy hiking, you'll find this book an interesting read and a great resource. It begins with a short introductory section containing general information, especially useful for novice hikers or people (like myself) who are relatively new to this part of the country. The remainder of the book consists of sections organized by geographical or geological themes, with each section summarizing from five to ten possible hiking trips. With hikes ranging in distance from less than a half mile to over twenty miles, both novice and experienced hikers should find something to suit their fancy.

The summary of each hike is complete in a broad sense, including driving directions, general information about the location, decent (though not topographic) maps, mileages to key points along the trail, and somewhat detailed hiking descriptions. Having just completed the Knobstone Trail, I would have benefited from having the mileage and hiking descriptions in this book which are not available in this detail in any other source.

The only details that detracted from this book, in my opinion, were two apparent factual errors -- one in a road name, the other in describing a short segment of the route of the Knobstone Trail. I have seen both errors in other sources including some official publications cited by the author. Although some readers may question the lack of topo maps, the author includes details of elevation gain in each description. Furthermore, most hikes which are lengthy or strenuous enough to require such information are likely to be located in state forests or other public lands for which topo maps are frequently available.

Overall, I highly recommend this book especially for people like myself who enjoy rugged day hiking. There are certainly some hikes described which will appeal to campers and through hikers, as well as some moderate to easy hikes for novices. Whether you live in Indiana or a nearby metropolitan area such as Chicago, Louisville, or Cincinnati, you will likely find several hikes within a drive of an hour or two.

I have lived in Indiana for 16 yrs and have walked,hiked and horseback rode all the popular spots. This book has already found me a ton of new exciting places to go!

State park rehash.......2000-06-26

I was disappointed. A large part of this book draws on the Indiana state park system. Granted, the parks have some wonderful trails, but trail maps are distributed when you enter the parks. This book gives you little of the adventurous or out-of-the-way.

Wander Indiana with this great day hiking guide.......2000-05-17

Hiking Indiana is an organized guide to finding your way around on foot. When I opened Hiking Indiana, the first surprise was its "workbook" format - the pages are perforated on the edge to be torn out and packed. It's really a book to be used and become as worn out as a hiker after a good day on the trails. The first pages include a Trail Finder chart and a state map with numbers matching the table of contents that is organized by North, Central and South regions of the state. There are 45 parks or cities as chapters that include several Trail Sites and Trails. Park Facilities are shown by key icons, miles listed and Trail Difficulty Rating that is shown by 1 boot for easiest and 5 for most difficult trails. The chart also shows Terrain/Landscape with checkmarks for hills, prairie/grass, forest, lake, wetlands, overlook and river/stream. I was also surprised to see historic trails and city trails such as Madison's Historic District Walking Tour, Columbus' Architecture Walk, and Indianapolis' Canal Walk and Eagle Creek Bird Sanctuary Loop. There's even a canoe trail for those, as they said, with extra hour to give feet a rest. There are maps of parks and trails, but you'll need your atlas or state road map to get to the site. The narrative is an easy read and informative. Sally McKinney includes cautions, such as the trail goes through remote, forested hill country and to let park officials know when you leave and expect to return, to check back in or park officials may go looking for you. Another caution is when you have to walk through shallow water - a creek without a bridge, and which trails to watch for plenty of droppings from waterfowl. Hiking Indiana throws in tidbits on the state's history. Ouabache State Park has a Wildlife Exhibit Loop with bison, and 'Did you know that a bison image decorates the Indiana state seal?' This is a book to leaf through and explore. I really liked Hiking Indiana since it is a good read, lets you explore places to go, and made it all interesting. I am ready and motivated to go from wannabe hiker to getting out the hiking boots.

Nature Walks in Southern Indiana.......2006-03-05

This book may have some useful information, but I also think that this author does not check his facts. He mentions the Grove of All Faiths on Indiana University's campus and there is no such place. You can do a search for this term on www.iub.edu and there is nothing anywhere on the site about such a place. I am a graduate student at IU and have taken tours of campus. I have never heard a tour guide refer to the area beside Beck Chapel as the Grove of All Faiths. Also, he mentions several old growth forests in Southern Indiana. In order to be considered old growth, the trees must be anywhere from 150 to 200 years old and that isn't the case with any of the forests mentioned in his book. Mr. McPherson also spells Bean Blossom as one word when it is actually two words.

Very useful guide to hiking opportunities in S. Indiana.......2005-10-24

Nature lovers living in southern Indiana or those who plan on spending some time there will find this book indispensable. Divided into three regions (Southeastern Plains, South Central Uplands, and Southwestern Lowlands), over 200 natural areas are fully described in terms of size, location, hiking trails, camping oportunities, wildlife, and points of interest. National and state forests of many thousands of acres as well as small nature preserves of only a few hundred are all included. Many topo maps highlighting specific trails and forest areas are also here. Finally, the book has a fair share of photos too. Published by the Hoosier Chapter of the Sierra Club. An excellent guide.

Book Description

Wonder where to go hiking in Indiana? Author and naturalist Alan McPherson has answered that question with his latest guide book Indiana Best Hikes. Indiana Best Hikes addresses the 'where' and 'what' of the best hiking places in Indiana. The subtitle of this hiking guide could easily be A Guide to 106 Places and over 200 hiking trails in the Hoosier State.

For each of the 106 Indiana Best Hikes sites, the succinct text describes the site, gives highway and trail directions, hours, facilities, contact address and other nearby points of interest plus a detailed map (3 maps in 1) that shows state location, highway map and site map with trails. In addition, each of the 106 best hikes features at least one trail and as many as three, in specific detail, with separate maps.

The 495-page paperback is divided into three hiking regions: Northern, Central and Southern for ease of use. 70 black and white photos of the Indiana Best Hikes are interspersed within the text. The paperback guidebook measures 6 X 9.

The 106 best hikes were selected not only because they represent some of the last great places in Indiana, but also because the best hikes are best since they are accessible year around and pose no great hiking challenge for the general public.

Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World

by William Walker Atkinson

In this New Thought classic, Atkinson looks at the law of attraction in the thought world. He points out the similarities between the law of gravitation and the mental law of attraction. He explains that thought vibrations are as real as those manifesting as light, heat, magnetism and electricity. The difference is in the vibratory rate which also explains the fact that thought vibrations cannot usually be perceived by our 5 senses.

Contents: Law of attraction in the thought world; Thought-waves and their power of reproduction; About the mind; Mind building; Secret of the will; How to become immune to injurious thought attraction; Transmutation of negative thought; Law of mental control; Asserting the life force; Training the habit mind; Psychology of the emotions; Developing new brain cells; Attractive power-desire force; Law, not chance.

small but big.......2007-08-28

This book is ok. Even though it is small, it shares some big concepts. I found that I had to reread sometimes to get the true meaning. i rated it low because anyone new to Law Of Attraction would have a time reading it.

Before The Secret.......2007-06-09

Before The Secret made the Law of Attraction a household name, a group of metaphysicans were writing about how thoughts are things and what you think you are. It was through reading The Secret that I discovered Thought Vibration by Mr. Atkinson. Thought Vibration is not the best written book, but the information it offers is good and timeless. I recommend that serious students of truth or esoteric wisdom read this book to get additonal information on thought vibrations.

Woderful Tool.......2007-02-03

This book is a great tool to learn how to focus your thought energy and become a deliberate user of the LOA.

Terrible.......2007-01-12

This book is not worth reading, much less buying. It was poorly written. It rambled on without direction.

Wow.......2006-10-15

I thought this audio was excellent (BUT: it will only play on my computer, I tried every cd player in my house).Also, there is no chapter 5. So, I don't know if it was a verbal/written mistake, or if there is an actual chapter missing. But the info is great, it takes visualization to a whole new level. I recommend it for everyone- especially young people, so they understand early on- that you think about, manifests!

Excellent!.......2006-01-04

Eventhough this is a slim volume of only 95 pages,the ideas contained in this book must be carefully mulled in the mind and understood. Once these ideas are properly digested then it seems such a simple thing to do. In Chapter 8, Miss Behrend discusses why she took up mental science. She says "My initial impulse toward the study of Mental Science was an overwhelming sense of loneliness." Isnt this true for us all? This book is a gold mine. Study it and Study it again. It will surely reshape your life.

No lights and music........2006-11-25

Usual fun "Bugs" book except back cover is suppose to have "Lights and Music". HOWEVER, both the original and replacement copies, that I received, had dead batteries.

Last page doesn't work ..........2006-08-10

My 16 year old nephew enjoyed this book so much when he was young that I wanted to buy it for a new nephew to enjoy. The pop ups throughout the book were just as I remembered them ... but his favorite part of the book was always the last page, where the Christmas tree star lit up and it played some music. I ordered the book the light didn't light, and there was no music. I told Amazon and they gladly sent me another book ... but that one doesn't work either. Maybe they don't make them with music any more, but the light is definitely supposed to light. The copyright is still 1992 ... maybe this is old stock and the battieries are worn out? In any case, the book is fabulous other than that, but just know you might be disappointed in the last page.

Great book, shoddy quality.......2006-01-30

My 21-month old son and 3 1/2 year old daughter received this book for Christmas. We have several other books in the series (Easter Bugs, Feely Bugs, Love Bugs), and have found them to be wonderful. However, this book is not the same quality. Areas along the spine have buckled, the pages are thin and flimsy, many of the pages and flaps are crooked, and the colors are overly garish. On the last page there is a Christmas tree with lights and music, and mine if often off key, and the light works about half the time. Some people would probably not be bothered, or even notice these things, but if you're the type of person that expects a $17 book to be put together properly you might be wary of ordering this mail order. I would probably head over to the local bookstore and try to select a better copy.

As far as the content of the book, it is clever and cute, and my kids enjoy it, but not as much as Easter bugs, which is their favorite. It's nice that there are tabs to pull, as well as flaps to open. My daughter's favorite part is a little envelope that opens, with a removable bug "ornament". She's great about putting it back in the env., but a younger child might lose it.

Bugs without a song.......2006-01-29

I bought this book as a gift because my kids had loved it so when they were little. The highlight of the book is the end when the star lights up and plays a christmas song. I was very disappointed to find this mechanism was not working.
Better to buy this one in the store where you can be sure all the pages work as they should.

Entertaining Book!.......2005-02-12

My 18 month old absolutely loves this book. His two favorite books are this one and Halloween Bugs. He loves manipulating the various activities on each page and it takes forever to get through the book! Even when he is grumpy and nothing else will calm him down, he will sit peacefully and go through the pages of this book. We plan on buying him the others in the series as well!

The star at the end is darling. Text is simple and pictures colorful. I highly recommend this book.

light and music didn't work.......2005-09-27

This is a cute book for the a toddler (my 16 month old son LOVES these books), but this book is not the winner Halloween Bugs is (I highly recommend-- plus, bugs fit in better for that season). But this book is fun and cute nonetheless. Problem is, the one light in the whole book, along with the music, is the last page, and neither work! The light doesn't light up at all, and the music is this pathetic dying noise. I'd exchange it, but don't think I want to mess with shipping it back. I'd say buy this book if you think your little will enjoy it, but don't be too disappointed if the last page doesn't work.

UPDATE: I have since returned this book for a new one, and the new book is working great. Both my 16 month old and 3 yr old love it. The only problem is how my 16 month old isn't gentle with these books, but it is worth the price, even if I have to replace it one day.

A favorite.......2005-01-22

My (15 month old) son and my two nephews (4 and 6) LOVE this book. Personally, I think the bug thing is a little weird, but if you can get past that, it's a wonderful book. Besides, kids love bugs. The pop-up engineering is so clever--- David Carter is a wonder. There are a couple pages that my son turns to over and over again-- one with a Christmas wreath and another with a stocking and little "jingle bugs." You pull the tab and the bells go from side to side. Not to mention the last page with the light and music. I will say, though, that I expected more lights (it does say "lights" plural, but there is only one light in the whole book) and the music is a little loud and annoying after a while. But my son LOVES it.

Worst pop-up book ever !!!.......2005-01-18

Worst pop-up book ever !!! You will have a tough time finding out where's the light and music. And the so-called pop-ups are so unattractive. Very flimsy construction. Buy it only if you really hate the kid you are giving it to.
