Life What states have you been to? - Page 7

**mlyonsd** · 12-06-2011, 10:07 AM

Only 27.

My dad has been in every state in the union but of course he was in the military for 40 years.

I was going to Oregon, but when I got there I decided to just be in transit.

**ChiTown** · 12-06-2011, 10:44 AM

44 of the 50, and I have also spent a bunch of time in DC as well.

The fascinating thing is that this poll has made a fundamental change as more people have responded to it. Early on, the leaders after Missouri were adjacent states to Missouri - Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas, Tennessee, etc.

But as more people have responded, the tourist states have suddenly jumped past the adjacent states. California, Florida, and Colorado have come on very strongly.

I'm not sure what Texas counts as, but it's made an enormous run. I suspect it's part tourism, and maybe mostly tourism, though I'm not sure what you do as a Texas tourist. Or maybe it's a big enough state that a lot of people have friends and relatives who move there.

All except Alaska and Montana. Lots of family in Montana, but still haven't been there.

Whaddya want to do in Alaska? Have you considered doing the Alaska Marine Highway System ferry out to Dutch Harbor? Way cool. And a bear watching excursion is a must.

A cruise is definitely more luxurious than the ferries, and Alaska cruises are a great deal. But if you can handle sleeping in bunk beds, the Tustumena out the Aleutians is really, really cool. http://www.dot.state.ak.us/amhs/

And don't go to Alaska without going to Kodiak and doing a bear tour. Holy ursa major, those things are amazing.
