You should come to low end theory with my friends and I for some good music and beer, whilst in LA.

Hey J. I'm on the east coast unfortunately. Let me know if by some bizarre sequence of events you end up in Florida. I've got a friend in Denver and I'll ask him what's good around there. Are you planning on visiting any cities in CA besides LA?

goto Seattle, it's awesome there.
Whatever you do, don't goto Detroit.
Promise me you don't goto Detroit

I second Seattle, great city. Make sure to hit up the EMP (Experience Music Project) if you go.

DiaZo: looks like a nice enough place. Will keep it in mind. Thanks!
Zeph: i'd say that's extremely unlikely but one day I will visit the eastside.
Seatlle is a bit too far. I'm afraid i may even have to skip yellowstone because it's too far up north. Maybe save north-west for next time..
can anyone tell me how much on average you pay for a full tank of gas and how far it gets you?

You can use this to get a general idea of the price per gallon USD that you can expect to pay per state/area. As far as mileage, it depends on the fuel economy of the car you'll be using, of course, and whether you'll be doing mostly city or highway driving. I think most newer cars get around 25mpg (highway), and according to that map, gas will be about $3/gallon (rounded up) in pretty much all of the western United States. So using those numbers as a given, it would cost about 12 cents per mile but again these are all estimates. If you're renting a car, try to get the best fuel economy you can.

Some advice that was given to me once when I was planning to hitchhike across the states was to avoid the interior areas and just stay on the coast if possible.
If you end up making it further north than you were expecting, Cape Disappointment is beautiful, and its name makes for great travel stories. Tricky driving tho.

i'll encounter the coast exactly once so thank you for these comforting words ;)
tricky driving with a rental car in any forsaken place is best avoided in my case.

I skipped the grand canyon (I was there about 7 years ago and had a brief look) and went to Zion (same thing but no hiking). Turned out to be a good decision. Tomorrow i'll be sleeping at the luxor hotel in Las Vegas.
http://www2.imm.dtu.dk/~awk/photography/zion_02.jpg not my photo, but this is what it generally looks around here.
protip: on the road, listen to Bill Hicks and Alan Watts for best results.
I miss you guys!
