Garcia and Rothman decided to follow their friends in the Kentucky Colonels on the cross country road trip. Even though it added another six hours to their trip, the duo met Clarence and Roland White in Los Angeles as they too were heading east.

They leave Los Angeles with the Kentucky Colonels, who are in another car (standup bass on roof), driving through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma. There were no gigs in any of those states but they did park and pick at rest stops.
