Watch Into the Wild with Emile Hirsch. It will bring out your inner hippie, introduce you to the call of the wild, and make you want to go rough it in the wilderness (well, sort of) - and all in 148 minutes, ladies and gentlemen. It's based on the real story of Chris McCandless, an Emory University grad who gave up his possessions, money, and indentity to live in the wilderness of Alaska. It's a gem in my book. Not to mention director and author of the screenplay, Sean Penn's great attention to detail and heartbreaking insights into society's young generation. Do not delay.
To go along with that, the song of the day comes from the movie soundtrack, comprised largely from original and covered songs for the film by Eddie Veder (Pearl Jam vocalist) and with songs by Michael Brook in the credits. I really recommend the whole album, but definitely check out the cover of Indio's Hard Sun and Rise. Make this the soundtrack to your summer road trip.
Lots of love and tree hugs,
Caitlin
