This has been floating around for the last couple weeks (or more, who knows?), and while I’m usually not big on the whole meme-thing, I thought I’d play along with this one. Mostly because maps are fun, even if my understanding of geography is at a third-grade level.
States I’ve tainted with my presence:
To make your own: Visit the website.
Interesting facts derivable from the map:
- I’ve never been to the South,
dirtydeep or otherwise. - I’ve never seen a ‘real’ mountain (and I crossed the Appalachians at night).
- I’ve never seen a ‘real’ ocean (New York and Boston harbors don’t count).
- I’ve never seen a ‘real’ desert (or a fake one, for that matter).
- I’ve never left the ground for more than a few minutes, meaning I’ve carved a contiguous swath of red destruction across this land.
In other words, I need to go on another road trip at some point soon. If it hadn’t been for my road trip of three or so years ago, my map would have been frighteningly more bland (i.e., I’d never left any of Iowa’s neighboring states). The roomies are talking about a trip to Las Vegas over spring break, and I’ve declined as yet due to the expected cost. Maybe I should reconsider.

I may have you beat on visited states (though I’m surprised at that), but you’d royally kick my arse on visited countries. You should make one of those maps instead:

You DO need to go on a roadtrip. Here’s mine: http://www.world66.com/myworld66/visitedStates/statemap?visited=CACOCTFLGAIDILINIAKSKYMEMAMIMNMOMTNENVNHNYNDOHOKORPARISDTNTXUTWAWIWY

you should feel good that you got to see so many places. i was going to do one of those for my blog but the map was so distressingly bare of red that i opted to not insert it. =D i really need to go on a road trip or something. oh wait, does driving through a state count?? hehehe, i left my muffler in nebraska so perhaps i should include at least that state!!
