Back in the 1980s and 1990s, I used to attend the H. Werner Buck Enterprises' Sports, Vacation and RV Shows at the Anaheim Convention Center. H. Werner Buck Enterprises is no defunct.
While at the shows, I accumulated literature on attractions, campgrounds and state travel guides. It was at one of those shows that I discovered the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
I was digging through a drawer this morning and came across some AAA tour books, maps and books on different places.
The photo above shows two different editions of the Automobile Club of Southern California The Mother Lode books and a map. The one on the left is the 1984 edition and the one on the right is the 1994 edition. Since I joined the Ancient and Honorable Order of E Clampus Vitus, which began in the Mother Lode Country of California, I made several trips to the area.
Above, are some various state travel books from their tourism boards that I obtained at the Sports, Vacation and Travel Shows.
The tour books from the Automobile Club are way outdated, but it is fun to peruse them and see what is no longer around.
