visit all 50 states (read all 13 entries…)
Done! 21 months ago

I’ve seen ‘em all, after my weekend roadtrip through Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota! The prairie is pretty amazing, and I was surprised how long sunrise and sunset take out there. Here the sun just pops up, but out there there was just so much space that the sun could just take its sweet time.’

I’m a little sad that I can never step foot in a new state, but I love that I’ve done this! Go see ‘em…

Congratulations on accomplishing your “visit all 50 states” goal! I’ve been thinking about adding it to my list because I’d like to visit more states in the US…

You could...

just visit more of them without taking on the goal. It’s worth doing just to see what’s out there… It’s a big country!

Todd Schoonover Should really be sleeping now.

Congrats

I’m so glad that you were able to accomplish this and that the weather didn’t leave you stranded. I just have those five states left myself. I’ve got plans to hit one in May. I’ll shoot to do another three of them sometime next year as well. That’ll just leave Hawaii for 2009 which is when I want to do it.

I would definitely...

leave Hawaii for last! It’s gorgeous out there…

Way to Go!

Visiting all 50 states is quite an achievement, one that would take me a long time to do, since I’ve not been to Alaska and have no idea when I might get to go there.

Now you need to visit all the countries of the world :)

Thanks!

Now I have an easy factoid for that “tell me about yourself” question…

17 down...

200 to go!

Michael R. is catching up

200 to go is ambitous, but why not!

As I see visiting the 50 states of the USA as achievable (48 down, 2 to go), I am starting seriously work on Brazilian states (10 down, 17 to go).
