Which ones were your favorite and least favorite? Talk about your experiences etc.
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Maine, North Carolina (airport), Florida, Minnesota, Arizona, Nevada, California
-
In alphabetical order:
Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.
So I've been just about everywhere in the continental US, except for most of New England, the Deep South (except for GA), and hilariously New Mexico.
Every state has something to see, except for Kansas, Nebraska and most of Iowa. Those three really represent "fly-over country" to a 't.'
Special shout-outs to South Dakota, Montana, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, considering they are often overlooked despite having some great scenery and cool places to visit. The Black Hills in SD, Glacier and the Rockies in MT, the back-countries of PA, and a million different places in OH.
Anyone who says Ohio sucks has either A) Never been to Ohio, B) Never left their home state, C) Lives in MI or IN, D) Sucks, or E) Just likes jumping on bandwagons. (Seeing IN residents try and flex on OH gets me everytime)
-
Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Texas
-
Wisconsin, Florida, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee (Memphis airport only)

how have you not been to Rhode Island Lark?

Listing your home state is silly.

Listing your home state is silly.
others did though lol

I've visited more locations of interest in Ohio than anywhere else. Would be rude *not* to include it in my list tbqh
-
Only New York
-
I'm none of that list and I confirm Ohio sucks.
Colorado best. Nebraska the worst. I'm still missing California but so many online who suck are from there so I've soured on it. Something in the water I guess. Haven't been upper northwest/northeast US or the south/southwest outside of NV, AZ. No real reason for me to go really.
Kansas/Neb are a completely different tier than Iowa.
-
Colorado (home state), Utah, Idaho, New Mexico, Montana,
Wyoming The Void, Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, Michigan, Missouri, Texas, Florida
So 17 in total
I've also been in airports in New York and Kentucky but I'm not counting those
-
In order of visited: New York, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky
New York was very brief, Michigan was just passing through twice, Ohio I spend most of three days there, Indiana was just passing through to say I've been there, stayed in Kentucky for two nights.

28
They are too large and diverse to give a fair rating for any full state.
-
Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia
-
I've been to 9 states; in no particular order: New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, and Nevada.
I've obviously been to Virginia and Maryland because of The-Elite.
The others were from when my ex and I drove to and from Nashville in August 2018. She was in a vocalist competition at the time, so before our Nashville trek, we decided to go to Ohio for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It was amazing and NO regrets there.
She finished her night at the thing and we decided we'd go straight from the venue. We left at about 3am and ended up at our Airbnb at about 10pm. It SHOULD have only taken 10.5 hours to get there.... Thing is she didn't want to drive through Detroit (lol), so we took the eastern route across the Niagara border and down the east side of Lake Erie. We were exhausted the entire drive and had to stop a few times to catch some power naps in parking lots along the way. Then THIS happened...
I was asleep in the passenger seat (and I swear I had some kind of PTSD from this for like 4 days), but her tired ass couldn't slow down or react fast enough when a 40ish-pound wild turkey decided to hop across the highway in Ohio at about 9 in the morning. It tried to fly and ended up hitting our EcoSport; putting a dent in the roof and effectively shattering the entire windscreen. We were on the side of the I-271 for about 3 hours, waiting for a tow truck. Thankfully we had full insurance and was as easy as swapping to a new vehicle when we got towed backwards 45mins to the Cleveland airport. I have a photo somewhere I can post in discord at some point if anyone wants to see what the windscreen looked like. When we got to the airbnb we had to shower all the glass out of our hair, it was a good time :v
So that was my Ohio experience. great to not-so-great, lol. It was also the LONGEST state to drive through on our route, and (no offense) the most boring as far as scenery goes. On the way back we drove up through West Virginia and that was absolutely beautiful.
Tennessee was amazing. I loved that trip to Nashville. I'll never forget it. We also visited TOP KARTER Frankie Morgan down in Virginia on our way back, and crashed at his farm.
After all this covid craziness subsides a fair amount (who knows how long that'll be), I'd love to visit New York City, California, and Florida at some point. Arizona's on the list as well. I'd like to go back to Vegas at some point, too. I went on a family trip at 11 y/o and there's not that much to do at 11. :nesquik:
Never tallied the list of states I'd been to before. Great topic!
-
As a european its not much lol
New Jersey and Virginia properly
Flown into Pennsylvania
Driven through Maryland and Delaware
-
0, and I've only really visited (done something other than pass through) 2 Australian states (not counting my home state). If you count pass-throughs that number goes up to 3 (fuck you New South Wales).
Travelling has always been pretty irrel to me, never really had a strong desire to travel to anywhere or see anything. Only reason I travel is to visit or spend time with people, and until playing this dumb speedgame I didn't have any friends that lived anywhere other than my hometown aside from the odd friend who moved away.

UK resident here. Two, California (LA) which I really enjoyed. Very cool feel to the place. Nice beaches, great food, friendly open (and often very beautiful) people. Would definitely go again to explore the sunshine state in more detail sometime.
And Florida which.. I didn't really find much to get excited about (sorry Floridians!). Sort of felt like there wasn't much there. Granted I wasn't in Miami or anything but the scenery was pretty boring. Flat, characterless environments. Everything felt so sparse and spread out and most developments lacked any real charm. Folks didn't seem particularly warm either. Wouldn't go back.
These are just my opinions from a couple of 2 week holidays mind you. I don't pretend to know either state from those brief visits.
-
I've been to all 50, and skated at one skatepark or more in every one too. to be fair some states we just drove through.
Maybe I should make a full tier list but these are my S or S+ tier picks: Alaska, Hawaii, Wyoming (Yellowstone should be on everyone's bucket list).
These are my A or S tier picks: California, Colorado, Washington, New York (New York City is my favorite major US city that I've visited).
-
Oregon (home state), Washington, California, Idaho, Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, South Dakota and Nebraska.

Not counting places where I've only been in the airport.
-
I think every state except Alaska, Louisiana, Rhode Island, and the three in the upper northeast. So 44? I definitely like the mountainous ones (e.g., California, Colorado, New Mexico) but places like Washington and Wyoming have some great outdoor stuff too. It's a great country.
-
I live in New York, and I've been to every state touching the east Coast between Massachusetts and Florida at some point (I have family or work in like 7 states on the east coast, plus random family vacations growing up), as well as Pennsylvania, Illinois, West Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky, Texas, Alabama (space camp 2001 lol), Louisiana, Colorado, New Mexico (backpacking in the mountains), California several times, and Alaska (my wife's sister works in a fishing hatchery on a remote island in Alaska, so I've been there. The island is 45 miles long and has a population of about 150 people... so it's pretty remote). In total I think that's 23 states.
-
European here, so barely any. I visited California nearly 20 years ago, my Godmother lives in San Diego so my mother and I stayed over for 3 weeks. Brilliant from what I can remember of it.
-
In order I have been too
Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, New York, Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee, Kentucky
I really want to go west of the Mississippi and visit New England.
