What was the coolest place I visited on my trip from New York to California and back again? Where would I go back to again? Where would I never go back to, ever?

I have a plan! For those of you who are new here, I’m embarking on a semi-crazy summer-of-Covid adventure to the West Coast and back. My new and significantly improved plan has two exciting changes…
