Item # 2 on Things to Do before I Die

[albadger]

One of the things I obsess about is state-to-state border crossings -- because of my upbringing as a military brat, and subsequent travels as an adult, I've done most of them (and all of the borders in the Far West). State to state borders uncrossed by me are in orange in the following map. And I want to cross them all.


I'm figuring I could do the whole lot of them in 3 weekend trips and 3 week-long trips. It would be important to add activities & destinations, like Devil's Tower in Wyoming, or what is supposed to be a kick-ass steakhouse in Boise City, Oklahoma -- and who'd want to miss the Creation Museum in Kentucky? Or maybe I could be in the audience for Jerry Springer!

My favorite uncrossed border is the Missouri-to-Kentucky one, which has no bridge & no road, just an on-demand car ferry. How many Californians have done that?

UPDATE: The Jerry Springer Show is now taped in Connecticut, not Cincinnati, so will not serve my purposes at all... Sad, that...

Day Trip?

It's 300 miles to Denver! I was looking at flying into Amarillo, renting a car, driving up to the OK/CO border & then turning around, and driving back via Clayton NM. One of the weekend trips.

Yeah, everybody sez the Oklahoma panhandle is flat, dull and avoidable, but this isn't about the destination, this is about a venetian blind slat being out of place!

Really! 300 miles in Eastern Colorado is NOTHING. I know people who drive from my home town to Denver for the Day. On the eastern plains, you can average 60 miles an hour.

I love this website! Thanks!

I note that it says I could drive from SF to Boise City for only $200, and I'm, like nooooooooo.....
