State of Confusion by Paul Jury

Rather than deal with the problems he was facing as a recent college grad, Paul Jury decided to leave them in his rearview mirror. He might not have known the direction his life was headed, but he knew the route he was taking to hit all forty-eight contiguous states on one epic road trip. His adventure finds him in a number of precarious positions - swimming with poisonous water snakes in Missouri, drinking with ex-cons in Arkansas, and nearly going to jail for (accidentally) sleeping outside a daycare center in Connecticut. But his cross-country journey helps him figure out what the hell he's supposed to do now. Along the way, he crashes with friends in various stages of moving on - John in Indiana who manages union workers in the heartland, his buddy JD who's picking up and moving from Ohio to LA to try and live the dream, and his frat brother-turned-Rabbi Ari in Pennsylvania who gives him some perspective. And once he does make it back to Minnesota - with 48 states, 19,000 miles, five cop stops, four tows, three cars, and one ex-girlfriend behind him - he's not afraid to follow his new direction.
