RE: the map thread, how many states have you visited?
 

I'm talking about driving, not flying in. I think from boyhood to the 90's when I curtailed all travel, I've been to nearly 40 including HI (well I had to Fly there but I drove a lot), but not AK.

Upper New England for sure is on the list of non visit. ME and CT are the only 2 in the entire region that I have passed through. Missed a few Mid Western states as well: NE, OH, IN, IL, KS, MO; maybe a couple more.

Flew to Alaska and Hawaii.

You did not miss much in Nebraska, a lot of corn and wheat.

17ish driving. If I include airplanes I am over 30.

These.

(See below, stupid code)

(48) driving, (1) flying--never been to Alaska, and driving to Hawaii would have been problematic.

I have driven to 41 states, and one foreign country, Canada, in my 911. Add three for car rental and we took a cruise to Alaska and I lived in Hawaii for many years. so 46 off the top of my head.

My goal is to drive my 911 in all the lower 48 states. I might cheat a little and take the Ferry to Alaska with the 911, and drive it in Alaska. I can't think of any logical reason to ship it to Hawaii just to drive it so I will never hit 50 states.

And to clarify, just my "rules" for saying I was in the state requires that I have a regular sit down restaurant meal with a waiter or waitress, and I have to be there long enough to use the men's room. So clipping the corner of a state and only being there for a few minutes dos not count in my system of "rules". Just my made up rules.

I did take my 911 on a Ferry in CT when we went to visit the Gillette Castle. We crossed the river to get there.

In Hawaii I have been to 5 of the islands.

Me driving in 30 states, as a kid with my parents driving, another 3 or 4. My feet touching the ground (most likely in an airport), probably another 5. So probably "on the ground" in almost 40. I don't feel like I have to hit all 50, but I'd like to hit another 5 or more.

Continents - N America, S America, Africa, Europe & Asia (really want to hit Antartica and Oz)

Countries besides the US - Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Scotland & Japan (landed in Netherlands, Germany and Newfoundland) Would really like to add at least another 5-10 on top of this list.

I'm pretty sure this is the whole list of driven in as an adult, ridden through as a kid and landed in an airport.

I'd like to visit Oregon, Montana and/or Wyoming, North or South Dakota. I don't feel the need to try to get to Minnesota, Nebraska or Rhode Island, but I wouldn't pass up a free trip to any of them.

I’ve driven my ‘56 Porsche coupe through 44 states and 4 western Canada provinces. I drove through the other 3 contiguous states (Alabama, Georgia, and Florida) in my 911.

21. I have driven all states from Colorado westward many times. Drove a rental car from Virginia up the eastern seaboard through NYC up to Niagara Falls into Canada. Took a cruise boat to Alaska if that counts. We can all scratch out Hawaii. Driven all the provinces west from Saskatchewan. Like to see the more of east cost someday but too much driving for the family.

One thing for sure, driving through all the New England states is quick and easy compared to most other states, especially Texas. We drove east to west across Connecticut and it only took less than 1/4 tank of gas. In Texas one can drive all day, and still be in Texas.

I think the most boring drive of all is Kansas City to Denver. You can drive for hours, stop for a rest stop, drive for hours and swear you are at the same rest stop and nothing at all has changed until you are far into Colorado.

Alaska, Washington, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, Utah,
Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Michigan, Ohio, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Oklahoma, Colorado, Hawaii, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida.

So I guess 25.

And Canada... BC, Alberta, Yukon, Northwest Territories, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Ontario.

Countries... Russia, Norway, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, Scotland, England, Ireland, Malaysia, Thailand, Mexico. Never left the airport in China and Japan so they don’t count.

I've been to Raleigh :D

48 on tires.

Flew to Hawaii and Alaska: one commercial, one delivering Blackhawks to Alaska.

All the Lower Canadian Provence's except Nova Scotia. I flew there in a CH-53E for an airshow.

Amazing place.

Mexico in the 80's.

All 50 states and 38 countries.

Only been in 43 states on a motorcycle. Drove in the other 7.

12 and that includes Canada :D

42 US + 3 in Canada by car. Hawaii 8 times by air. I have never been in the Pacific NW, Alaska, the Dakotas, etc. Taken a lifetime to do it. This is one big country.

All but Maine, Hawaii, and Alsaka.

This is tied by Omaha to Denver, I'd say. Just got back from a Chicago-Colorado-Chicago trip and there is a lot of damn Nebraska. It's like a Nebraskarama, or a Nebraskathon. Eastern CO is just an extension of KS or NE. On I-80 you can do 80-85 all day, which helps.

I've had my 911 in 14 states so far.

I remember that road - heading from left to right. A straight line as far as the eye can see. You come over a slight rise, the same again... and again... At night a glow in the distant night sky. That's Chicago.

Hey ya'll gotta hitch the wagon to get more 'shine bottles down at buck's saddle shop eventually. :)

I think I've purposefully visited more countries than US states.
Canada, Mexico, England, France, Greece, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, India, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan

I think the Porsche and I have been to 25.

Including flying and visiting friends, probably another 6 or 7.

The Eastern and Southern states are the missing ones.

Well over 2 million miles through 48 of them. Alaska and Hawaii remain on the list.

Dad was an Air Force officer so we moved a lot. My first day as a Senior in high school the English teacher wanted to get to know us better. She asked that we write down the schools we had attended and the States we had visited.

Almost all the kid in class had gone to one school from 1st Grade to 9th grade, and then the high school. Many had never left the state. She got to me, and I said I am not close to done, I am only up to 4th grade on my list. I was the last one to tell of my 10 other schools and many states. I don't know if I could even complete that list now. I have no idea the names of my schools from 1st to 6th grade. Each school was one year only, and a long time ago. With the internet I might figure it out assuming the schools are still there.

BAM!

44 for me but both kids were born in Alaska and flew to Hawaii for a weeks vacation in the 80's.

Lots of work travel. Even Puerto Rico.

Cheesiest stops were quick layovers in Phoenix and Denver.

I've flown to others but this is my driving/riding

huh...it's a jpg won't display.

I have visited 33 US states, and driven from one to another and another etc several rimes, but best of all I flew myself to 4 states in a morning, landing in each( but not necessarily meeting the going to the restroom rule) . Sticking with North America,I have driven from many states to another state in Mexico too, and a few province to province trips in Canada.

Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana Idaho, Utah, Washington State, Oregon, California and Nevada. 19 Driven
Florida, Colorado, Texas. By air for a total of 22 States.
Have driven through 6 provinces in Canada.
Drove the truck and camper down to the tip of the Baja Peninsula.

47 driving - only have missed M. Dakota. Hawaii by air - never in Alaska

From Wisconsin, I have driven to less than half the states in this nation.

Red - states I have driven to.
Blue - states I have flown to.

Fun fact - Several red states involve car purchases, I bought one in Louisville KY, one in Springfield MO, and one in Salt Lake City, although I paid the guy extra to meet me in Cheyenne WY, so I can't count Utah as a "driven to" state. I towed a car to CO to sell to a guy to build a 944spec car.

Fun fact #2 - Most of the "flown to" states involve visits to race tracks.
CA - Laguna Seca, Sears Point
UT - Miller Motorsports Park
NC, VA - flew into Raleigh, drove to VIR, I've also been to Summit Point
GA - Road Atlanta
FL - St Pete, Daytona for Rennsport Reunion

The east coast states were checked off on a honeymoon trip to Portland ME, but other than that, I haven't driven more than two days from home.

Been in a car in 49 states. In Hawaii only aircraft tires. Never left the airport in Honolulu in three stops there. Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, North Dakota and Alaska had me only as a passenger. I was still a kid and my parents were driving. Probably a quarter of the states were in a rent car while on a business trip. With my parents driving, I have made it both ways to and from Alaska on the Al-Can Highway and from Alberta across Canada as far as Quebec. Only driven as far as Monterey in Mexico from the Texas boarder. My first time to drive a car was on Guam, a US territory.

I've been in 48 states, driven in 47 of those; Maine was an airport visit. Still need Alaska, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Connecticut. Internationally, I've been to 32 countries, driving in 22 of those. Craziest places (thankfully a passenger) were Moldova (it was raining and the car owner's windshield wipers had been stolen), Turkey and Italy. Best driving (IMHO) will always be Germany...nothing beats it on so many levels.

I have driven and visited 48 CONUS (missed VT), and have flown to and visited HI and AK. Actually lived in HI for 40 months. 49/50 states for me.

At least 35 or 36, may be a couple more. I’d have to look at a map and ponder it for a while.

Still have a bunch of paper maps. I used to buy topographic maps of the entire state, four states that I had an interest in riding one of my sport bikes or blasting through in one of my cars. Are used to spend hours looking for twisty roads.

Bought another folding map about a month ago.
