Default How many US States have you set foot in?

I'm sitting on 29, or 30 if you include the nation's capitol.

You said state and DC is not a state. Hope it is never considered one as well.

Name them.

WA, OR, ID, WYO, CA, HI, NV, AR, NM, UT, CO, NB, IA, KS, OK, TX, LA, AL, GA, FL, NC, TN, MO, VA, PA, NY, MA, IL, IN, MI, OH, MD (32)

Missing,

MN, SD, ND, AR, AK, DE, CN, VT, NH, ME, MS, SC, RI, MT, KY, WV, NJ.

Likely to visit Montana, and South Carolina, but others will definitely require a race or business to get me there.

Many of mine have been brief drives through the states on roadtrips.

WA, OR, CA, AZ, NV, ID, MT, WY, CO, NE, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, WV, VA, MD, TX

Some of these I may have never technically set foot in. I may have been in the car through the entire state. Also I am only guessing on VA. I think I drove through Virginia but I'm not sure.

Let's see your list, Ogden.

29 of my states have been in the past 4 years. That includes a road trip to Nauvoo, one to Kansas City, one to North Carolina, all throughout the west, and two trips to the Northeast Corridor (flew there, then rented cars and drove around). I think I'm doing okay.

Check out this website:

http://www.world66.com/myworld66/visitedStates

Just click on your states and it makes a map of your visited states. It even generates a hyperlink you can use to refer to it.

Here is a similar one for countries:
