FROM THE PRESIDENT PUTTING MEMBERS FIRST Planning a Trip? Digital Coast Magazine Are A Great Place To Start. We have published a digital edition of Coast Magazine each spring, summer, and fall since 2013. Including this issue, that’s 28 issues, and they are all accessible to you when you log onto our member website www. CoastResorts.com. Just scroll over the Benefits tab at the top of the page and in the drop-down menu click on Digital Coast Magazines. We publish between two and four travel features in each digital edition, complete with recommended itinerary, plenty of photos, and websites to visit to learn more. In these 28 editions we have published a total of 76 travel features. But until now, you had to search individual issues to find out which areas of our great country were featured in each edition. To make it easier for members to quickly find travel stories of interest to them, we have just added a new resource to our Digital Coast Magazine page on the website: an index by region of these 76 different travel features. Using the index, you can quickly find a travel feature for an area you are interested in exploring, and access that issue to find travel tips, suggested places to visit, relevant website links, and plenty of wonderful photos. To view a digital Coast Magazine you have two options. One is a Flipping Book, which lets you flip through the pages like you would a print magazine. A great feature of the Flipping Book is that all website addresses are live links you can click to learn more about that particular area. The second option is to download a PDF of the issue to save or print and take with you on your journey. While I can’t list every travel feature here, I wanted to share a few of my favorites that have made my person “bucket list” of places to visit: • Erie Canal & Lockport, New York – Spring 2017 • Down East Maine – Spring 2018
• Cumberland Island, Georgia – Summer 2019 • Alabama’s Historic Civil Rights Trail – Fall 2020 • Door County, Wisconsin – Summer 2014 & Fall 2017 • Mississippi’s Natchez Trace Parkway – Fall 2014 • Mississippi’s Delta Blues Trail – Fall 2016 • Big Bend National Park, Texas – Fall 2016 • Gila Arizona Cliff Dwellings National Monument – Spring 2013 • Utah Road Trip: The Bicentennial Highway – Summer 2015 • Arizona & New Mexico Ancient Ruins – Spring 2019 • Southern New Mexico (White Sands National Park & Roswell) – Spring 2021 Last summer my wife and I took a road trip north from Denver to visit Glacier National Park in Montana. Along the way we visited the Little Bighorn Battlefield in Crow Agency, Montana; the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center in Casper, Wyoming; the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center in Great Falls, Montana; and the C.M. Russel Museum in Great Falls, Montana. All provided fascinating views into our country’s history. In planning our trip, I recalled the travel feature about Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains and Bighorn Canyon by Emily and Mark Fagan (Summer 2019). So I printed a copy of this story to take along on our trip. On the way home we made a one-day detour to drive through the Bighorn Mountains and visit the Bighorn Canyon. We were treated to a wonderful scenic drive through the Bighorn Mountains and the stunning beauty of Bighorn Canyon. To find our new index of Coast Magazine travel features, just log onto our member website www.CoastResorts. com, scroll over the Benefits tab at the top of the page, and in the drop-down menu click on Digital Coast Magazines. I hope this new member resource will be useful to you as you plan your travels this year and in the future.
