Easy, interactive map--how many US states have you been to?
I'm at a measly 32.

I've never understood the state checkoff list. I would much prefer, "How many states have you explored enough to get a satisfying taste of what that state has to offer.
But lots of people like that checkoff list and take great pride in their numbers.

I am missing the following:
Hawaii, Alaska, Oklahoma, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine.
"For example, I've only driven through OK, but I counted it."
I count Arkansas - we were driving in Memphis and ended up going over the bridge into Arkansas, so we stopped at a gas station, bought a snack, and went back to Memphis. And the snacks were good, so yeah - we got a "satisfying taste of what that state has to offer"

50 and DC
(my last three were Iowa, North Dakota, and Alaska)
LOL November Moon... my only trip to Arkansas was across the river from Memphis, and stopped at one store to roam around, and then back...
I did at the time see signs on the bridge telling of "President Bill Clinton" AND "Vice President Al Gore" going to and fro.
That was before Gore finally let-on that he had both "invented the internet" AND invented global warming too.
What a guy!
(funny how he has changed his shtick to the all-inclusive Climate Change more recently)

Have not been to 8 (Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota).
Have only set foot in at an airport as well as driven through one (Colorado).
Have been to the rest as well as DC (41 + DC).

46, 2 maybes:
Alaska: 2 hour layover, went outdoors to the airport observatory (remember when airports had those?) to breathe the cold March air and see mountains in the dark.
Hawaii: they used to shuttle people over to a different building at HNL for immigration and customs in an open top tram, then have twice done the flight over Waikiki spotting Diamond Head, punchbowl crater, and also flown over Mauna Kea when there was snow visible from the airplane-- surely that counts as a visit, to see snow in Hawaii.
Will hit 49 when I visit Texas this spring.
Leaves Georgia untouched.
