Growing up in Detroit it was kind of like another state to us!!!

Wow! Some of you have been to almost all 50 states! I wish l could say the same for myself-- (don't like to fly, lol). I've been to every state along I-95, from Maine to Florida, and also Vermont. That adds up to 16, plus the District of Columbia. That pales by comparison to many of you!

If I had only a few states left to visit, l would put that on my bucket list!

48--except for Hawaii and Indiana. Go figure! Why I didn't make an effort to stay in Indiana when I was in surrounding states, I just don't know. I measure it by--do I spend the night in the state--not just driving through. About 4 years ago, I was in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio. I could have gone to Indiana--I just wasn't thinking.

My son tells me I've been into Indiana. Years ago, we crossed the river and went to the Louisville Bat Factory when it was in Indiana. I understand they've moved it.

I'd love to go to Germany again, especially now that I know which cities my various ancestors are from. Ironically I was within about 30 miles of one of the towns when I was there before and didn't know it.

Anita Bourbon, I don't expect to visit those 3 states at this point in my life. Do you?

Re: How many states have you been to?

Burnsite — Thu, 16 Jul 2015 15:27:00 GMT

All but 13--37 visited.

I would love one day to see Alaska (though I've flown over it), Hawaii, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennesee, and West Virginia.

I've lived/worked in seven states and found lots of good in each.

I have not been to Alaska yet. I have been in almost every other state, if only briefly.

The top item on my bucket list is to visit all 50 states. Not just drive through but to enjoy what each part of this country has to offer.

Last time I counted it was either 22 or 23. I'm not sure which, but I am sure it is one of those two numbers. That includes Puerto Rico, FWIW.

No New Jersey???? We need to remedy that and broaden your horizons.
