Straight Trippin'


They lean against the cooling car, backs pressed
Upon the dusts of a brown continent,
And watch the sun, now Westward of their West,
Fall to the ocean. Where it led they went.

-Thom Gunn, Discovery of the Pacific


My externship is one day from being over.  What now?  

I want to go on a road trip.  

Suggestions?

Sidenote:  I can't actually get much farther west, I just love this poem.
