I've been to 34 so far. I didn't realize I had been to so many, but it would be cool to visit all of them.

I have been in or driven through 47 with at least a stop.
MIssing ND, HI, VT. Vermont is supposed to be nice (IE mountains) so i'd like to go. ND seems a bit empty and far, and Hawaii seems nice but very far, so those two might take a long time.

The average OTer has been to 4. Live in LA and drives to FL every summer

I have done 18 states. Wife & I had plans to hit Cal, Sea & Wash one year, then several of the NE states the next; but went the kids route first. So those 2 trips will be put off until they are older.

That sounds miserable as shite, like the states I clocked taking a Greyhound from Indianapolis to San Fran.
It wasn't bad at all. Got to see a lot of amazing things both natural and man-made that would have been missed by just flying to a destination.
A few off the top of my head:
The falls in Sioux Falls, SD
Cresting a hill and seeing the Missouri River outside Chamberlain, SD
Watching the Bighorn Mountains grow on the horizon from I-90 in Wyoming.

Never been to Rhode Island, New Mexico, and Arizona, been to every other state.
Posted on 5/16/25 at 10:56 pm to Gerry Laval
Been to every state except Hawaii, and that will happen in December.
I love both, and have hit the international stuff hard the last few years. But in a year or two I'll move from that to a continuous road trip in the US that will last a few years.

47, I'm missing Montana, Alaska, and Hawaii. Since my retirement from trucking, I enjoy road trips on the back roads now. Love small towns and landscapes of the different states.
Posted on 5/19/25 at 8:40 am to Gerry Laval
49…Need to go see Alaska.
Posted on 5/19/25 at 9:31 am to Gerry Laval
I've probably been to more countries in Europe, the Middle East, and the Caribbean than I have U.S. states.
Posted on 5/19/25 at 5:38 pm to Gerry Laval
I'm at 33, so need to get to work on the rest.
My son is 7 and has been to 25 so will be ahead of me in no time. He's getting in Alaska as number 26 this summer.
