Default Re: How many states have you been to?

I'm more countries than states. (England, Ireland, Holland, France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Italy, Sri Lanka, India, Belize, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq, Oman, Malaysia, Indonesia, China (sorta, Hong Kong but pre-97), Egypt, Canada and the USA vs Washington State, California, Illinois and New York).

does driving through count?

Not unless you stopped to do something. Tourist traps (South of the Border in SC, Corn Palace in Iowa) count, chain restaurants not unique to that state do not.

Airport transfers definitely do not count.

In any case, 37/50. Big Sky country kicks my ass.

Your rules are pretty strict. I count airports and drive throughs but not flyovers. Just have to set foot there.

This makes no sense. Generally when in the airport you actually set foot on the ground of the State in which you have landed. On a true drivethrough your feet never touch the ground. So if anything your defining criteria should be the opposite.

Not counting states merely flown over, I've been to California, Nevada, Oregon, Alaska, Texas, Kansas, Oaklahoma, Arizona, Arkansas, Montana, Idaho. Probably some other [censored] in the Idaho Montana region I'm forgetting.
