I agree with Sharon on her point that Sal is so obsessed with memories he will create with his friends that his adventure in a way is limited. He wants to do so much and be so free but in fact he is contained by his obsession to get to Denver and catch up with Dean. His admiration for Dean is again evident when he mentions him twice in chapter 6 wondering what he is up to. I have a feeling Dean is going to completely disappoint Sal or they are going to have the best adventure of their lives together.
In response to Ciara, I do understand why he was so charmed by the Mexican lady even though she denied him. He is excited by the new people about him and in his state up "I'm getting f**ked up and I don't care" her denial is just as adorable and charming as she is. Guys are in it for the chase and the fact that she denied him made her much more interesting than if she would have accepted his offer. I agree with Ciara on her view that Sal is more interested in the people than the places; which is true. I can relate to him because a new place can be fantastic and beautiful, but the company you're with makes all the difference. He is obsessed with the idea of making memories with people in the west and I find his focus on the details of people relatable.
