Ive been in all of them except Alaska, Hawaii and a couple of random states in the South (I don't think I've been in Alabama, for instance).

Depends if you count DC I guess? There are 50... we had a political party in Canada once called "Party 51" ![]()
Hawaii is the 50th state.
From Wikipedia (I wanted to double check):
The United States of America—also referred to as 'the United States', 'the US', 'the USA', 'America' (more loosely), 'the States' (colloquially), and 'Columbia' (poetically)—is a federal republic of 50 states, located primarily in central North America.

What part of Oregon, if you don't mind me asking?
Visited some friends and family in Houston, Missouri (near the Arkansas border down south, outside of Springfield); their standing joke was "How do you double the IQ levels of both Missouri and Arkansas at the same time? Let them have the "heel" part of the state! "

Just a little bit north from there. I think I've visited enough "worker's paradises" for now.
My uncle and Aunt were in Cuba a few years ago, and didn't like it much, but they don't like anywhere where they don't get waited on non-stop as they get in Thailand. Frankly I don't know why they have to go anyplace other than Thailand, other then that he has to outdo his so-called friend. So, they travel the world and hardly like any place.
North of Cuba, south of North Carolina....You're going to see Trev! A South Carolina NOOL get together. I wonder if there's anybody else in the area who might want to join you lads for some brews?

My life just wouldn't be complete without a visit to the home of Coca Cola. See Atlanta and die I say.

Don't let AgentWood hear you say that. She's a Pepsi girl. Don't worry, though. I won't tell anyone.

Silver Creek Falls is a very lovely place to be, hiking there is something I try to do a couple of days a year. ![]()
