Overview
Part guide and part spiritual journey, this visually stunning book celebrates America’s statewide system of historic back country roads. It takes armchair travelers on a richly illustrated journey thorough the most beautiful landscapes of one of the nation’s most geographically diverse states, and serves as a guide for those who decide to embark on an actual trip over these charming lanes.
The project began when photographer Bob Rashid undertook a two year odyssey to preserve the remarkable sights along the 67 official Rustic Roads in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin's Rustic Roads, in the images of Rashid and the words of five of Wisconsin’s most recognized and cherished authors, is a testiment to places where the efficiency of a road is not measured by its speed, nor its purpose necessarily defined by a destination, and which beckons the reader to linger.
