Product Description

Pokin' Round the Gorge is probably the sexiest outdoors guidebook ever written. ============================================================================== A lofty claim, but true--just have a look inside. Scott Cook, a well-known guidebook author in Oregon's Columbia River Gorge, has gone "out on a limb" with this new guidebook. Enlisting local models from his home town of Hood River Oregon, he and the models went out to "poke around" and explore the Gorge's secret places with notions of playful romance and nudity in mind. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thus, the naked photos of the nice-looking couples in various states of undress (and undressing) are the hook that Cook uses to lure you into his world---but then, delightfully, this book delivers actual valuable content way beyond normal expectations! Cook fills each of the 36 entries with a vast amount of historical detail and quirky factoids that only a Gorge historian would even have a clue about. Yup, you'll flip through all the books pictures the first time you browse through it because they are so unique and unexpected and FUN---but then once you give an entry a read, you'll be hooked by Cook's breadth of knowledge and the playful way he invites you and your sweetheart to go explore and learn about the Gorge's captivating landscape. This book will exceed your expectations--it is no mere titilation as most books are that offer "sexy" in the title. This book truly goes where no guidebook has dared before, and you'll love going there with it!

Adam and Eve are jealous!
Hi, everybody.I'm Mike Guernsey, Scott's best friend and the Gorge's top model for '07. LOL. I just want to tell the whole world how fabulous it was to partake in Scott's book about hiking, love, nakedness, romance, history and the beauty of being alive! Scott knows EVERYWHERE in the Gorge--He's truly amazing and this breathtaking piece of our country is as well. Scott has the inate ability to spend a lifetime finding incredibly unique and gorge-ous places in nature, spots you and I might never see let alone even think of, and then bringing them to life by teaching you how to get there and suggesting what to do once you arrive!
I live in Arizona and for two years he and I would spend 3-4 crazy, hectic days running around to these fabulous gems and he'd force me to "fake kiss" and hug gorgeous models while standing in heaven! Nude. How hard is that? NOT!! :) The beauty of the Gorge constantly blows me away, and nobody knows it like Scott.....". Read a page of his work, travel to his backyard and take a hike with him. You'll be amazed from moment one! I got to place blackberries on bushes rather than pic 'em, get my booty squeezed while kissing in a cave, walk ankle-deep in a creek with a true goddess, create a triple arch at Catherine Creek with two amazing girls...and welcome in a new day by spanking the cutest butt ever on the old highway while cars passed me at 60 mph only feet away!

How great is that?

Grab your husband, girlfriend or someone you've just met that you're dying to impress and take them for a hike. A special hike. Bring a picnic, a blanket and a bottle of wine. Find a picturesque place where you two can feel at one with nature and see what happens! Then tell Scott....he'd love to know!

Scott is a killer friend and also an absolutely fantastic author and guide! Get with it buy the book. I show it to all my friends and can't wait to be there again in June!

fun in the gorge x 10!
Cleverly written with risque photos - this guide tells you everything a good guide book should. How to get there, what to look for, what to bring and some history of the places you are and the places you can see from where you are. And...in this case what to bring includes your sweetie and a romantic attitude! Good information, good laughs and well written!

wildly popular on my coffee table!
This was the epitome of an impulse buy as I stopped at the liquor store in Hood River and saw this book sitting by the cash register. I smiled and slapped down my $20. Over the weekend with my friends this book was enjoyed by EVERYONE and showed itself to be worth every penny. The author shares some fabulous locations in the Gorge waiting to be visited by lusty explorers. Even those that keep their clothes on will find some wonderful new spots to seek out the Gorge. The photographs are both beautiful and funny and sweet and the light heartedness is balanced with solid directions and great bits of history. I've given this book to several friends as gifts and it is *always* a big hit. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
