Dave Hunter loves maps, history, driving and discovering unusual stories along the way. Combined with his fondness for writing, this led to Along Interstate-75--a travel book which has quickly become the must-have guide for snowbirds heading out for the long-distance drive to Florida, each winter.

His passion for history paid dividends while writing the I-75 guide. During research, he rediscovered two little known Civil War battle sites in North Georgia and noted that the interstate ran right across the middle of the Union and Confederate battle lines. Modern posters of his battlemaps were displayed in Georgia's Welcome Center, during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. He also found a forgotten trail blazed in 1775 by Daniel Boone, which crosses the path of the modern interstate in Kentucky.

Both of these finds were made possible by Dave's ability to read topographical maps-a skill he developed as a youngster roaming the hills and valleys of England's South Downs, looking for prehistoric encampments and lost Roman roads.

With more than twenty-five years of writing about I-75 road travel, Dave has become the media go-to person when producing annual drive-to-Florida content, and has appeared in hundreds of newspaper articles and radio & TV guest appearances.

For the past sixteen years, Dave has hosted an all-day entertainment stage at the two-day Snowbird Extravaganza, held in Lakeland, Florida. This annual consumer show attracts over 15,000 U.S. & Canadian snowbirds each day. He is also a regular contributor of I-75 and Florida articles for the CSA News, Canada's official Canadian Snowbird Association.

Dave is a credentialed member of the prestigious Society of American Travel Writers (SATW). He is also a member of North American Travel Journalist Association (NATJA) and International Travel Writers Alliance-UK (ITWA). His full biography may be found in Canada's Who's Who.
