Statement on the Accuracy of

the Book Ruins Seldom Seen

This website does not provide information on the exact locations of ruins. However, my book does.

If you bought or are considering buying my book, please note that I wrote Ruins Seldom Seen in the mid- to late 1990s, and it was actually published in 1999. At that time, all of the information in the book was accurate. However, over the years some of the roads, trails and routes leading to the ruins have changed. This is particularly true of the roads. Some have gotten better, some have gotten worse, and some have even been blocked. However, the information about the locations of the ruins themselves remains accurate, right down to the latitude and longitude.

Because much has changed since the 1990s, in some cases it may be necessary to find your own alternate route to a ruin. This is not true of most hikes, but it is true of some hikes. But again, the lat/logs of all ruins are still good. With accurate information on the locations of ruins, any hiker -- even those with little experience -- can figure out their own routes. All it takes is a good map, common sense and a little enthusiasm. In fact, to real hikers, route-finding is half the fun.

Although I enjoyed writing Ruins Seldom Seen, I have no plans to update it. I feel my time is better spent on completely new projects, mainly nature photography. On that note, if you'd like to see what I've been doing lately, please visit my other website at www.DaveWilsonImages.com.

Thank you.
