May 5, 20187 yr I am finally getting to Washington and Oregon this summer. I used to think those were the only states other than Alaska I have not at least passed through. But, now I'm questioning if I've been to Delaware, Rhode Island or Michigan because they aren't typically on the way to someplace else. I should probably make this a bucket list thing. What states have you Shagsters assholes been to? If anyone wants to know if there is anything worth seeing or doing in a particular state, here's your chance to ask one of the all-knowing experts on this board. Even if it's something quirky or corny, as long as it's a chance to get out and stretch your legs. Some of the states I've been to were only in passing, so I may not have much to offer on some.
May 5, 20187 yr Author Admit it. Not every trip you've taken has been to a five star resort or as a guest of royalty.
May 5, 20187 yr Florida Almost transited through a few times but never ever desire to actually be there
May 5, 20187 yr Pac NW, Dakotas, 10000 lakes, Wiscy, New England 'cept for Connecticut. Ohio, kentucky, WVa. Alaska and Hawaii. Edited May 6, 20187 yr by slorch
May 5, 20187 yr The northern border states besides Washington. Montana to Michigan. Never been and it’s not anywhere near on the top of my need to visit list.
May 5, 20187 yr Delaware, Rhode Island, New Hampshire Maine. North Dakota. Never got out of the car in West Virginia.
May 5, 20187 yr Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Wisconsin, Meatchicken, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Rhode Island, Delaware, Alaska, Hawaii.
May 5, 20187 yr To count a state, I have a personal policy of having to have gone outside the airport and eating a meal there. That said, with exception of Arkansas and Missouri, I have both eaten a meal and stayed a night. States I haven’t been to: Alaska, Oregon, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Michigan. I’ll definitely go to OK when I move to Dallas in July to check it off the list, and I’m going to a wedding in Michigan in August. So all in all, 41/50 now, 43/50 soon.
May 5, 20187 yr I haven't been to: Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Delaware, Vermont, New Hampshire, or Maine. So I've been to 36. I've also lived in 7. (Texas, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, Illinois, and California.
May 5, 20187 yr My parents used to take my brother and I on road trips as kids. One was over a month long, driving from Austin to Florida, up to Maine, across Canada to Minnesota and back down. All said, I've been to every state but Hawaii and Alaska. Edited May 5, 20187 yr by SmokeyTheBear
May 5, 20187 yr Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon, Washington, North/South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, Minnesota, Maine, New Hampshire, all the rest I’ve spent at least a day in. Planning on knocking a couple more out skiing, but there are a few on there that I’m probably just going to miss out on.
May 5, 20187 yr I have not been to...hawaii,alaska,Wisconsin,Michigan, And the east coast states minus Massachusetts,new york and florida(didnt feel like listing them all so deduce yourself) And that is using the same method as riceowl...doesnt count if it was only airport Edited May 5, 20187 yr by Bone3421
May 5, 20187 yr Author 2 hours ago, Liquor and Poker said: North Dakota. That's it. Eastern ND is the flattest place on Earth. However, the tallest structure in the world for almost 50 years was the KVLY-TV mast less than an hour northwest of Fargo. Interestingly, another mast was erected southwest of that mast, but it was built a few feet shorter. I guess that attests to how "Minnesota polite" people are in North Dakota. A taller mast was erected by the commies in Poland...but it collapsed, which proves aggy are communist. Your life will never be the same once you've stood beneath these ND wonders. Devil's Lake has flooded well beyond it's "normal" size, which transformed it from a great fishery to a fantastic fishery. Lake Sakakawea is also great for fishing. The prairie pothole region from southern Manitoba down through western Minnesota and the eastern Dakota's has fantastic waterfowl hunting. Southwestern ND is Teddy Roosevelt country. It's very pretty scenery, even if it doesn't take your breath away. That's North Dakota in 150 words or less. Edited May 5, 20187 yr by ImissWallyPryor
May 5, 20187 yr I’m proud to say as of last summer I’ve spent at least 1 night in all 50 states. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, my wife did after we went to Annapolis and drove over the Chesapeake to the Tanger outlet mall. we decided to drive on to Delaware just to see it. What a fucking waste. Went into Wilmington by mistake when we were in Philly a few years ago. i guess you could say both times I went to delaware, I pulled out as fast as I could... Edited May 5, 20187 yr by slorch

The mountains don’t have lodging but the terrain is amazing. For me, I haven’t been to AK or any of the states NE of Pennsylvania. I work out of Delaware so unfortunately I have to go there about once a year. Edited May 5, 20187 yr by SDG
May 5, 20187 yr Been everywhere but North Dakota, Minnesota(airport layover but to me that doesn't count) and Pennsylvania. Will get to Philly sometime, Minnesota eh, North Dakota is gonna be the tough one to find a reason to visit.
May 5, 20187 yr Hawaii, Oregon, Idaho, North Dakota, New Mexico, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and I think Delaware.
May 6, 20187 yr I just went here to make this https://www.epgsoft.com/VisitedStatesMap/VisitedStatesMap.php

May 6, 20187 yr I have not been to Idaho Montana New Mexico North/South Dakota Wyoming Kansas Nebraska Minnesota Iowa Michigan Indiana Kentucky S. Carolina W. Virginia Connecticut Rhode Island Vermont New Hampshire Maine

May 6, 20187 yr 9 hours ago, Celery Man said: I kinda feel like NYC is cheating for New York. Agreed, but from the opposite perspective. I've had multiple visits to the Hudson Valley area in NY, but have only driven through NYC on the freeway going from Newark to CT. I've been to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, but have never set foot in NYC. NYC is like its own city-state. Edited May 6, 20187 yr by slorch
May 6, 20187 yr We are going to Washington and Oregon this summer to cross them off the list. We are planning a trip to New Orleans to see Tulane and WSU play basketball next season. I need a compelling reason to go to mississippi and complete the lower 48.
May 6, 20187 yr 14 hours ago, 4th&Five said: Just Alaska and Hawaii left for me. Ditto. Made a solo trip 4 summers ago specifically to shoot up from Austin into the Dakotas, Minnesota (although I've landed there a bunch), and Wisconsin (salute John WInger!) all within 4 days (nuts!). That was all of the Lower 48 for me.
May 6, 20187 yr 40/50 so far. States I still want to visit: AK, ID, MT, WY States I will inevitably visit: VT (wife from Mass), WV (UT game?) No reason to visit: IN, IA, ND, SD My son knocked out 9 states in his first 7 months of life.
May 6, 20187 yr East of the Mississippi, I'm missing the Carolinas and Kentucky. I've got a scheduled family tour of Revolutionary War battlegrounds next spring where the Carolinas will get knocked off that list; we may drive through Kentucky on the way back just for shits & giggles. In the West, I'm missing Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Montana, Nevada, California, and Idaho. Throw in Alaska and Hawaii, and that's the full list. Been everywhere else, not counting territories.

Go see Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. It's really cool.
