i haven't traveled to many places, but some better known far places that Ihave gone in U.S. are:
Yosemite (CA), Los Angeles (CA), Las Vegas and Death Valley (Nevada),
Of course, i live in Sacramento, which is in Northern California. I consider these places quite far!!

[WITHIN US]

1999 summer:
My 1999 summer trip was driving with a rented van down to Los Angeles (Universal Studios, Hollywood, UCLA, Disneyland, Chinatown), east to Las Vegas (walking down "the strip", chinatown, downtown), north to Death Valley, and through many pine forests like near Yosimete and Lake Tahoe,and back to Sacramento.. It was quite an adventure indeed driving backfrom Death Valley.. From desert to forest, to pine forest, to no where,and back to Sacramento! :D Passing through all those different terrainsis quite strange indeed!!!! I really found that Death Valley is avery unique place. The view is so incredible! I've never seen such a wondrous scenery.. . The view is open and [endless].. . off the main road we were driving through, the connecting roads to the sides were not even paved roads!! They just had rocks!! So the vehicles (the very few we saw) who drive though these roads leave a trail of dust! What was scary was that since there was practically [no one] around, my oldest brother, the driver, would go maybe 100 MPH!!!!! Just remember to slow down for the [dips]. At first, my oldest brotherand i saw the diamond shaped yellow and lack sign [dips], we didn'thave an idea what it meant!!! We soon found out!! It is kind of similarto hills!! My brother slowed down too late so our rented van actually"flew" for some moment in the air while my brother frantically pushingthe break pedal in the air (with no affect of course!!)Well, thank goodness, it wasn't our car!haha... . (sweat drop rolling down)
