A collection of five "Special Advance Issues" that served as guides to various low-cost or free activities around Southern California. Each booklet highlights different destinations and adventures, including visits to beaches, parks, state recreation areas, museums, and other local attractions such as San Clemente Beach, Palomar Mountain, and the Los Angeles International Airport. Each attraction has a unique "talking map" with notes giving extra details to provide a more engaging experience. The series includes lesser-known destinations like the Tucker Bird Sanctuary, Long Beach Naval Base, and even tours of facilities like the world's largest tuna cannery. The series emphasized accessible and enjoyable outings throughout the region, complete with black-and-white photographs and maps to guide readers on their excursions. [From Author's Preface] In the months ahead you will be accumulating a valuable collection of places-to-go and things-to-do that will add much enjoyment to your leisure hours. This collection will become one of the most prized possessions in your home if you use it. The fun and adventure experiences featured in "GYPSY JAUNTS" are, with a few exceptions, absolutely free of any costs except the cost of gasoline for your car. The method of presenting these attractions is unique. For ease of reading we have used 'bite-sized' bits of information in paragraph form instead of in columns. Almost fifty per cent of the space is filled with photographs. The "Talking" Maps are made to look 'as if' we were face to face, and we were giving you directions. We have tried to give detailed information on the maps rather than an accurate scale of miles. Use them in conjunction with your road map. . .
