Greenland could return a surprising result in the election.
Not doing so well here. Only 54 electoral votes for the good guys.
If by visiting a state you mean staying overnight at least once, I should omit West Virginia and North Carolina. Also Mississippi, Connecticut, and New Jersey.
I’ve visited every state except Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, and Oregon.
I was in Delaware for forty-five minutes. I want those forty-five minutes back.
I’ve lived in Illinois (x4), Ohio, Georgia, California, Connecticut, Iowa(x2), Oklahoma, and Michigan(x2). With apologies to General Sherman, if I owned property in hell and Michigan, I’d live in hell and rent out Michigan.
That’s Philip Sheridan.
“If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent Texas and live in Hell…”
I guess I don’t like cold weather.
Percival, as soon as you can spare time and money, you need to plan a vacation out here. We and other local Ricochet members will give you the Grand Tour of Washington and Oregon.
You will love our natural beauty, from the ocean to the mountains to the wheat fields.
Spent time in blue, lived in red.
So what is the prize for winning?
I only “lived” in VA for a couple months when I was under 2 yo. But I’m claiming it.
I guess I don’t get out as much as the rest of you:
You lived in Michigan in the summer then?
You sure? I know Sherman lived in Louisiana for a time. I figured that he’d picked up the finer points of Texas culture from them.
I counted it “visited” if I could remember an actual stop beyond interstate rest stop.
When I first glanced at the map, it scared the bejesus out of me.
Then I read the post. Please don’t scare me like that – the old ticker can’t take it.

Delightful distraction, Jon.
If a visit to the latrine, base operations, and vending machines counts then I have visited every state – not that unusual in the airlift business.
You need to get out more.
I think my wandering days are over. Though there isn’t a place I’ve lived I wouldn’t live in again, except maybe Cleveland.
Where in MI? I love the state, but I’ve spent 99% of my time there in the Upper Peninsula or the SW part of the state. And it’s almost always been in the summer.
Come up to WA for a visit!
Does being on the lam count as “visiting?”
Those last three are worth the wander.
Odd considering I love barbecue and cold weather.
I’m well-traveled due to the Navy, cross-country drives, and pre-Ricochet business trips. But ONLY in the US. My international travel consists of quick daytrips across the border of Canada and Mexico. Never had the chance to fly across the ocean.
It’s overrated. There’s nothing to see, at least not from a 747.
Grand Rapids the first time, then north of Detroit for the second, which just ended a little while ago. Grand Rapids wasn’t bad, really. But you want to stay off of the freeways around Detroit. The only place I’ve ever been where I felt like pulling over just to ask an accident survivor “how do you roll an SUV on a flat, straight section of road like this?”
I would speculate, that I am the least traveled member of Ricochet.
I have lived in Calgary AB Canada since Feb 1989. I have never owned a passport. I have vistited the United States several times, as a child back in the 1980s (before you needed a passport to cross the boarder) We used to drive to a small town in Manitoba, Winkler – Its north of Grand Forks ND. Because of the price of gas, we would cross the boarder and drive across Montana, North Dakota. I think the last time I made this trip, would have been about 1984-ish…
Since living in Calgary I have rarely left the province. I have made trips to BC, flying in to Abbotsford several times. I drove to Cranbrooke last summer to pick up my sister’s pick up truck, that had been impounded by the RCMP. (how does the auto-correct get pawnbroker from Cranbrooke?)
On the day of the Eclipse, I went to Vulcan Ab, to view it. Thinking there would be a viewing party at the USS Enterprise monument in Vulcan. But no, the sprinklers where on. A nice lady in getting gas for her RV shared a welding glass with me to watch the eclipse from the parking lot of the UFA.
I also went to the Star Trek museum and the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller. The Royal Tyrrel Museum has on of the largest collections of dinosaur fossils in the world. Including complete T-Rex, Triceratops and many others that are standing in all their boney glory. The Star Trek Museum has Jerry Ryan’s underwear.
It seems a bit odd, but for a small town, Drumheller has a decent connection to Hollywood, several movies where shot in the vallley near Drumheller – Including 1 John Wayne film (the name escapes me) and Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven.
I posted about buying my first new car back in dec 2016, A Honda Civic Hatchback. I have put just shy of 19700 KM on it since I drove it off the lot. So yea… Least traveled member of Ricochet.

Well, I haven’t figured all of this out. I have lived in AZ, NJ, NM, and NY. I have visited most states except for the deep south, AK, the Dakotas and New England. I once changed planes in MN, does that count?
