Racer · 09-05-2011, 12:19 PM

I think I'm at 24 including states I driven/ridden threw (but not ones I've flown over).

Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, and Massachusetts.

If you're only including states that something remotely meaningful happen in then I'd have to take off Nebraska, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, and Pennsylvania I think.

Buccaneer · 09-09-2011, 09:42 PM

Just got back and successfully got the counties that I wanted. On the way out, drove from Colorado to Delta, Utah then to Ely and Tonopah, Nevada. On the way back, drove up to Alturas, California down to Reno then to Park City, Utah and today drove through Vernal, Utah; Craig and Steamboat, Colorado (plus a few spurs along the way) to finish CA, NV, UT and CO (west of the Front Range). I look forward to doing a roadtrip in the East or Midwest so I can grab a bunch of counties in a day. Tired of driving for 3 hours in the West and just getting through one county.

JPhillips · 09-09-2011, 09:51 PM

How long was that drive? I did San Fran to Denver over several days when I was on tour years ago.

DaddyTorgo · 09-09-2011, 10:06 PM

Let's see:

MA
RI
VT
NH
ME
NY
CT
MD
DC (not a state - fine)
GA
NC
PA
IL
MO
TX
NM
AZ
CA
OR
WA
NV
HI
UT
CO (hooray for 4-corners...haha)
VA
NJ
FL

I think that's it.

Montana and northern Idaho are two of the most beautiful states in the union, in my opinion.I've heard that Vermont and New Hampshire are nice too in the fall, but I've never been to the NE.

RendeR · 09-11-2011, 11:30 AM

44

Missing: Idaho, Montana, North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin

RendeR · 09-11-2011, 11:31 AM

If you Ski at all then Vermont, NH and Maine are must sees.

Vince, Pt. II · 09-11-2011, 02:50 PM

I'm at I think 17...

1. California - I live here.
2. Nevada - Las Vegas, Reno, Tahoe.
3. Arizona - Grandfather lives here, also almost went to ASU for college.
4. Oregon - Driving through to Washington mostly, but have had family living here occasionally as well.
5. Washintgon - My uncle lives up here, and a good buddy of mine went to the University of Puget Sound.
6. Idaho - Visited some friends I met through online gaming here for their wedding this summer. Was a blast, and Coeur d'Alene is a beautiful place.
7. Wyoming - Stopped here driving my brother home from Colorado one time. Would like to go back and give it a better look next time.
8. Colorado - Brother used to live here. Didn't get to spend much time there, another place I'd love to go back to.
9. Missouri - My mom's extended family is from the midwest (Boonville, MO by way of Chicago by way of Houston), so we took a trip one time that hit Texas, Illinois, Kansas and Missouri. Stopped at each place, had a pretty good time. Would love to go back on my own to explore a bit more.
10. Kansas
11. Illinois
12. Texas
13. Florida - Went to Jacksonville for the 2004 Super Bowl, was a fantastic experience. Jacksonville surprised me with how similar the urban center was to San Jose, though unlike San Jose - which sort of devolves into suburban sprawl away from downtown - Jacksonville quickly becomes swamp once you leave downtown.
14. Virginia - Back in the day, I took a school sponsored trip to Washington, DC. We hit up a few of the states around the area as well. I'd definitely like to go back to check things out again on my own.
15. Pennsylvania
16. Maryland
17. Delaware

So I've gotten around a bit, but each time I was typically there for a specific reason, and wasn't able to look around on my own. I'd love to start travelling around more on my own, and more just to travel so that I can enjoy the sights and learn a bit more while I'm there.

+1 for Northern Idaho. I was floored at how beautiful the place was.

Alright...so over Thanksgiving I went to Maine.....I have now been to all 50 states!

tarcone · 12-04-2011, 10:58 AM

I watched an interesting show on Netflix the other day. It was about Americas first road trip in 1903. A man from vermont was in San Ftrancisco for a visit. He went the the downtown club and started talking to some people about how fast a car could make it acrtoss the country or if a car could. The guy made a $50 bet that he could do it in 90 days. He went out and bought a car for $1000. Hired another guy and took off from San Fran to NY.
Soem intersting highlights:
They got stuck in a town for a few days waiting for a stage coach to deliver car parts.
Southwesatern Oregon is one fo the most sparsely populated areas in the US today. In 1903, even more so, obviously. In fact, in 1990, 3 people taking the census got lost and "disappeared" for 3 days in SW Oregon.
He followed railbeds and used tressels to get across rivers.

it took them 63 days to make the journey.

Great story. Based on the guys diary of the trip.

I second this. It's called Horatio's Drive. and it's a fantastic documentary.
