Sara Benson Thanks to Suki Gear, Regis St Louis, my talented USA co-authors and everyone at Lonely Planet for making this book happen. I’m grateful to all those I met on the road who shared their local expertise and tips, from park rangers to brewpub barfl ies, and also to my friends and family who live in the Golden State, especially the Picketts for their Lake Tahoe hospitality. PS to MSC Jr: Whew! Glad that avalanche didn’t kill us.

Alison Bing Many thanks and crushing California bear hugs to editor Suki Gear, San Francisco city guide co-author John Vlahides, co-authors Regis St Louis and Sam Benson, editors Anna Metcalfe and Sasha Baskett, but above all Marco Flavio Marinucci, who made waiting for a Muni bus the adventure of a lifetime.

Jeff Campbell First, Regis and Suki, you made this easy. For their Florida tips, thanks to Anne Higgins, Ali DeLargy, Kathleen Ogle, Michelle Krato-chvil (and Judi!), Ed in St Pete, and Bruce in Tampa. To Darby’s own, James, Karen and son William: thanks for your companionship to Cayo Costa and great advice. As always, endless thanks to my children, Jackson and Miranda, and my wife, Deanna, for all their love and support, and for not minding my tan.

Nate Cavalieri Thanks to my partner Florence Chien for joining my research travels through North-ern California. (Sorry about the speeding tickets.) Thanks also to the lovely people at Lonely Planet and particularly for the enthu-siasm of commissioning editor and mentor Suki Gear.

Sarah Chandler Suki Gear, thanks for trusting me to get into enough (but not too much) trouble in Sin City. My trusty co-pilot, the intrepid Jennifer Christensen, deserves serious props for re-maining calm during fl at tires, blizzards, and a losing streak in the smokey blackjack room of the Hotel Nevada. Finally, to Jack and ev-eryone at the Hard Rock, thanks for showing me how the locals rock Vegas nightlife (fear-lessly, of course).

Jim DuFresne Thanks to my long time Alaskan friends of Todd, Ed, Sue, Jeff , Dragon and Buckwheat for putting me up and putting up with me. I’ll always be indebted to Annette, Dave, Aurora, Brian and the rest of the gang at the Clarkston Post Offi ce for keeping the home front stable while I was gone. Finally here’s to Postcard Margaret, Rachelle, Marlena and, most of all, my son Michael for high

adventures on the Chilkoot and memorable evenings in Juneau.

Lisa Dunford I always meet so many kindred spirits on the Utah road. Thanks go to Nan Johnson, Peggy Egan, Trista Rayner, Nicole Muraro, David Belz, Jessica Kunzer, Lisa Varga and Ty Markham, among others. I very much enjoyed talking to you all. Thanks, too, to the many park rangers I met, for the ever-helpful job they do.

Ned Friary & Glenda Bendure We’d like to thank everyone who shared their tips with us and chimed in on their favorite spots, especially Gretchen Grozier, Bob Prescott, Steve Howance, Julie Lipkin, Ken Merrill, Bill O’Neill and Bryan Lantz. And of course thanks to the many travelers we met along the way.

Bridget Gleeson I’m grateful to my sister Molly, my brother-in-law Germán Parra, and my dear friend Starla Silver for their hospitality in southern Califor-nia – and to all their friends for their dining recommendations (and willingness to go to Disneyland). Thanks to my mother, as always, for joining me on the road.

Michael Grosberg To Rebecca Tessler who is always in my heart. Special thanks to Carly Neidorf for her pres-ence and support, on the road and off , and her navigational abilities. Radie Kaighin-Shields and Annie Humphrey for help on Pittsburgh; to Caitlin Larussa and Olwyn Conway for West Philly tips and my parents for their Philly suggestions; and to all my NYC friends who joined me for research meals and drinks.

Beth Kohn All the usual suspects get thanks again, es-pecially the fabulous multitasking Suki Gear and the dynamo known as Sam Benson. Cali-fornia cohorts and experts this time around included Agent ‘Pedal-to-the-metal’ Moller, Felix ‘Hella Loves Oakland’ Thomson, Jenny ‘Stink’ G, Dillon ‘The Scientist’ Dutton and Julia ‘Wawona’ Brashares, plus all the help-ful and patient rangers at Yosemite National Park. Kudos to Regis St Louis, Alison Lyall and Anna Metcalfe for all their crucial work.

Mariella Krause I’d like to wish a permanent and ongoing thank you to my husband Tim Bauer, who I met the fi rst day I moved to Texas three million years ago. He’s an integral part of every project I take on, whether it’s lending me words when I run out, taking part in late-night proofreading sessions, or just making sure I don’t forget to eat. Plus, he’s just generally awesome and writes funny plays about zombies.

Bradley Mayhew Thanks to all the Yellowstone Park rangers who took to answer my many questions and to my wife Kelli who gave me her opinon on the best mussels from Billings to Bozeman.

Carolyn McCarthy Sincere thanks goes out to all those who helped me, especially the park rangers who are so committed to preserving our great wilderness.

Virtual beers go out to ace authors Bradley Mayhew, Brendan Sainsbury and Regis St Louis for their collaboration.
