If it were 1958, I'd have them all.

Missed Maine, New Hampshire and North Dakota.

I performed installation and maintenance on phone systems and voice mail systems for the US Forestry Service and for Verizon. During those 12 years I went to multiple areas of most of the 33 states I have visited and have had the opportunity to spend a week sometimes more at a time in them. Many states a few times a year due to weather damage at the Forestry sites.

Iowa - maybe during trip to Galena IL
Maryland - maybe during trip to D.C.
Colorado - maybe a stop in the airport, can't remember.

Also territories - St. John and Puerto Rico

Internationally I've been to 4 continents - North America, South America, Asia, Europe. Australia would be nice, maybe Africa at some point (probably work related). Don't really see Antarctica in the mix, but maybe just to do it if I get the other 6.

I know this one feller who's been to all 57.

48,missed Alaska and Hawaii.
Only been to two other countries, Canada and Mexico, guess that makes me a home boy!

I’ve been to all but 9. Alaska, Hawaii, the Dakotas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Florida, Maine, and Washington state.

I count 8 for me.
CA,NV,AZ,OR,WA,TX,FL,NM.

All except Florida was traveled by car.

I think I’m missing 8, but as most of my travel was for work and some of that was on tour busses, I’m not sure about OR, NM and ME. I might have been to one or even all of them at some point.

I don’t count driving through as visiting, nor do I count a layover at an airport. If I spent the night at a hotel or did work in the state I count that as a visit.

I have all 50 and probably 47 by motorcycle.

Does it count if you fly over them in an airplane, say going from Kalifornia to Vermont??

I've done two cross-country drives stopping at various points of interests and targeting Diners, Drive In, and Dives locations.

I've not gone to North Dakota or South Dakota as we were traveling October / November and wanted to avoid snow. We've also not been to Alaska yet.

So 50 states minus 3 equals 47.

Well consider this an official invitation. I’d be happy to buy you dinner, drinks, crawfish, whatever.

Unfortunately my ability to travel is severely limited these days. But my sincere thanks.

Despite giving up flying nearly 30 years ago, I've driven in/through/around all but Hawaii & a couple NE states. Most I liked the journey. Some I'd pay to not have to drive thru again.

My younger #2 son, has around 36 countries to his count. Whether tourist, pilgrim, student, or as a Medical Care team RN volunteer. He's got some great stories.

Boots on the ground on 47 - all but AK, MT and AR. Lived in 7.

I've been in all 50 between my time in the military, drove a truck for a couple of years and this job. Lived in 5 states.

I counted once, and I am in the middle or high thirties. I have missed Florida, Vermont, some of the midwest (Iowa, Indiana, Michigan), mountain west (Dakotas, Montana, Idaho), Alaska, and Hawaii.

I have lived in 6 states, some of those more than once. I have lived the vast majority of my life in Texas, and was born here.
