You can add two places from "Cabaret" on the Summer Side of Life album:
"If you're driving east to Reno", "or north to Mendocino".
I don't want to sound self-centered but geographically speaking it sounds like his starting place was somewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I grew up. Either of these places is worth a visit. As for Carefree Highway, it's dirt, desert, cactus and rattlesnakes. Stay ON the bus while going through here.
