What states have NOT been graced with your presence?

[ImissWallyPryor 9046]

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.

[ImissWallyPryor 9046]

Admit it.  Not every trip you've taken has been to a five star resort or as a guest of royalty.

[52-80 19246]

Florida

 

Almost transited through a few times but never ever desire to actually be there

[Tyler Durden 132]

There are many and Oklahoma is a good place to kick-off this list.

[Guest]

Pac NW, Dakotas, 10000 lakes, Wiscy, New England 'cept for Connecticut.

Ohio, kentucky, WVa.

Alaska and Hawaii.

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. 

[Jimbaround 975]

Is “graced with your presence “ the new euphemism for fapping?

[Celery Man 20996]

Delaware, Rhode Island, New Hampshire Maine.  North Dakota.  Never got out of the car in West Virginia.

[wood 11265]

Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Wisconsin, Meatchicken, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Rhode Island, Delaware, Alaska, Hawaii.

[RiceOwl 74]

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.

 

 

[Liquor and Poker 3659]

North Dakota.  That's it.

[DixonHur 11371]

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.

 

[SmokeyTheBear 5562]

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.

[Loco 3754]

Minnesota, Kansas, Alaska, been everywhere else

[Brew 3049]

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.

[Bone3421 716]

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

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.

I’m proud to say as of last summer I’ve spent at least 1 night in all 50 states.

That policy is B team. The policy should be spend a night in that state. Anything short allows for airport cheating - taking an Uber to a Chick-fil-a 5 minutes outside the airport during a layover.

I bought a purse on the way there...

 

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...

There are a lot of states I'd actively avoid spending a night in.

For skiing you can’t go wrong with a visit to Oregon/Washington.  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.

[Robin Masters 122]

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.

 

[4th&Five 41590]

Just Alaska and Hawaii left for me. 

[Baboontyme 2824]

Hawaii, Oregon, Idaho, North Dakota, New Mexico, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and I think Delaware. 

[G650 14277]

I've been to them all. Unfortunately.

The only State I'm missing is Montana

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.

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.

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.

[WhatTheBuck 28798]

Alabama, Alaska, Connecticut, North Dakota, and Rhode Island. 

[Murfdogg21 4425]

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. 

[Walden Ponderer 12639]

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.
