At the start of the summer of 2005, I had been to every state west of the 100th meridian, and only to a few east of it. I got in my car and drove for three weeks to bag all 50. It was a long way, and a lot of nights sleeping in the back of my Isuzu (hotel parking lots make great places to stay). In the process I ate fresh lobster in Maine, saw Niagara Falls, was nearly slammed by a hurricane in Alabama, visited every Presidential Library outside California and Texas, and dislocated my left shoulder swimming in the Atlantic.
