Re: I got 50
Very cool! I'm stuck at 45 but hopefully with my new job I can knock a couple off through work and racking up FF miles and hotel points the Mrs. and I can hit the others for a reduced cost.
One of my missing states is North Dakota. This will need to be a work related visit as the Mrs. refuses to go because she hates (with a passion) the movie Fargo. It's one of my favorites, as is the series. My new employer has a major operation/office there in a different division, but I will likely get the opportunity to visit them in the next 12 months.
The other four are: ME, NH, WV, and AK.

Re: I got 50
I'm not as well-traveled as the three of you yet. I've visited only 34 of the states. The last new states I visited were Oklahoma, Kansas, and Washington two years ago.
I haven't posted my county collection map here in a long time, so here is what it looks like now--only 20 counties left until I hit 1,000: http://www.mob-rule.com/user/brb_thefireball
(Edited to add Nudity®.)

Congratulations! That's the last state I need to visit to make my 50. I've driven to each of the lower 48 (+ D.C.).kusch wrote:In the middle of a cruise to Alaska.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
