National Geographic Travel books is looking for insider tips to go along with their upcoming 2013 guidebook to California. Insider Tips are short (25-35 words), quick and informal--a not-to-miss experience, a great view, a restaurant tip, local food, transportation, music, etc.

They appear big in a page, like a pull-quote, with the contributor's name, title/qualifications, and organization/media outlet below them.  Do you have any interesting facts to share?   

Examples tips for the Brazil guidebook:
    "Don't pass up an opportunity for a night drive in the Pantanal. That's your best chance of seeing a jaguar as well as some other great wildlife." --Rhett Butler, Mongabay.com founder

    "If you want to try Hang Gliding tandem flight, São Conrado is the right place. Go early in the morning as in the afternoon the traffic jam to get out of it is awful." --Luiz Renato Malcher, Rio de Janeiro Urban Adventures manager

We'd love any tips like this-- for Downieville, Sierra County, and/or Gold Country!

Please email your tip(s) along with the information noted above (name, title, organization)to admin@sierracountychamber.com
