You're about to graduate from high school. You're starting college, or a new job, in a month. Sure, you could sit on your sofa and play video games for that entire month, growing pale and bleary. You could hang out at your friend's house all month, lounging by the pool, growing bronzed and bleary. But you could also hit the road. There are over 4 million miles of road in the United States — paved and unpaved, straight and winding, through canyons of orange sandstone and canyons of steel and glass high-rises, over vast rivers and lakes and sagebrush-studded desert, from the surfing waves of the Pacific to the boardwalks of the Atlantic.
