45..including Alaska & Hawaii. And not just "been to"..been all over most all of them as a former OTR driver.
We've got some gorgeous country in America...and some very shithole cities.
44.. I'm short Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama in the south and Rhode Island, Delaware and Maine in the north. I'm going to grab all those next year on a 50 states by 50 y.o. tour and 25th anniversary road trip my wife and I plan to take next fall.
West: OR, WA, CA, AZ, NV, MT, CO, UT, WY, NE,
Midwest: IL, MO, OH, MI, IN
Northeast: MA, PA, NY, NJ, CT, VT, MD, DC
South: TX, MS, LA, TN, WV, VA, AL, NC, SC, GA, FL

49. Just waiting for the Alaska camping trip before I’m too old.
38, lived in 7 of them, a couple of them twice.
38, lived in 7 of them, some twice.
It would be easier to say that I have not been to:
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota or Maine.
When I was 10, my dad bought a minivan and we traveled from Texas across country like the Griswold's. Texas to Florida and then up to New Hampshire and back down through PA to MO and return to Texas.
HOLD ON....I HAVE A FUNNY STORY!!!
On this particular family vacation, we were in Virginia I think. We drove around for about 45 minutes and my dad kept saying he needed to use the bathroom. After my dad thought we were out in the middle of nowhere, he decided to pull the van over to the side of the road just in front of this "drive way". He actually got out, walked about 20 feet from the van, pulled his pants all the way down to his ankles and squatted. After about 2 minutes, a huge line of cars, about 60 including a limousine started pulling out of that "driveway". It was a wedding procession and all of the cars lights were spotlighting my dad who was in the middle of taking a massive dump. Turns out that "driveway" was the entrance to The Greenbrier. My mom, sister and me were laughing so hard.
All except North Dakota, but I am fixing that this year.
As near as I can figure 31 that I have spent at least a day in. I'm missing almost all the NE.
As a side note, do any of you like train travel as much as I do? My experiences are limited to Southwest Chief, but I plan on doing a lot more since we are both retired. Any favorite routes?

As a "diamond jubilee" (not the 60th birthday ref, I am speaking of the oldMan one 75) visited & worked in all 50 states & terrortories, yes that included the Mariana Islands. More importantly rode my bike through the lower 47. Refuse to ride through CA, been on their border with Oregon, Nevada & Arizona, but wouldn't cross the line.
Interesting question 26Inf, only traveled a commuter train, always wanted to ride the TORONTO-VANCOUVER TRAIN. Maybe one of these days.
All of them. A lot of them multiple times.
I love to travel.

Most. Haven’t been to OR, UT, MI, KS, KY, TN, WV, AR.
Lived in NH, MS, AK, DE, MT, TX
Favorite US state is...hands down...Montana! But TX is definitely growing on us!
And I once rode a passenger train from Vancouver to Montreal back in 1983. Great 3 day trip! Have no idea how train travel is today...but it was great way to see open country at one time...
41. Missed OR, MS, ME, VT, NH, RI, CT, NC & AK.

27 (including DC):
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Delaware, Maryland, DC, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Nevada, Washington.
Born in Iowa, living for a short time in Massachusetts, grew up in Connecticut, and, currently, living in Pennsylvania.
I guess Georgia doesn't really count because it was only a stopover in Hartsfield Airport, and Indiana I only rode through as a 2 year old when we moved from Iowa to Connecticut. The others I actually got out of the car/airport and did stuff.

29 (including D.C.). I've been focusing on international travel for the last few years, but I really want to do a long western road trip. Maine and Alaska are high on my list, too.

It isn't that easy. I have favorites for different things in different states. Hard for me to name an overall favorite state.
If you pushed me really hard I would have to say Utah, or maybe Montana or Wyoming. Or maybe Alaska.

...TORONTO-VANCOUVER TRAIN. Maybe one of these days.
A Canadian Rockies train vacation is on our "one of these days" list.

The only place I felt depressed having to leave was the state of HI. The green mountains and equatorial weather won me over.

I have been to 36. Don't have any desire to go to the Northeast.
Bad laws aside, I don’t live in CO but I grew up there and miss it.
23 left! I flew to Utah in 2002 to work at the Winter Olympics as a Law Enforcement Volunteer. That was very Cool. I flew to New Mexico last June for the 70th anniversary of the “Roswell Incident” that was goofy but fun.
The rest have been road trips. In 1991 my ‘82 Rabbit, a 4 speed, was in 3rd gear through much of Colarado!

Only 5:
SC, GA, TN, FL, NC. My favorite that I don't live in is TN. I love the TN and NC mountains.
I'm not much of a traveler. I've never left the southeast outside of my honeymoon. I'm dying to get out west one day though.

In high school I tried to drive across the entire country on State Route 50. My friend and I got about four states out and just said, F' it and went back home. Our enthusiasm ended completely about halfway across Kansas when we decided to turn around. Kansas was just boring, completely boring and depressing. I don't know what it was about that state but once we saw it, we didn't want to keep going.

Should'a done Route 66 instead.

Well state route 50 runs coast to coast, that was the plan, go out to California, then head back and hit the East coast. We only had something like $300 with us, some camping gear, and snacks. Not sure if we would have made it but gas was cheap back then and we were skinny high school kids so we didn't eat much.

Take 50 until it intersected with 66, turn left. I didn't do it either. In HS we talked about doing it, but never did. Missed opportunity. Got too many of those in my life.
I only have 1 more state to go to have visited all of them and I am not going to miss this opportunity. Already have the ticket bought for later this year.

We gave it a valiant effort. I think if we kept going, we might have run out of money at some point and would have been cannibalized by hobos.

Virginia has been my favorite state to visit since I was a kid. My great Grandmother had a cottage in a sleepy little place called Stuarts Draft. I loved travelling there as a kid. Early on I learned that there is so much history and heritage in that state. It's a shame that DC and the northern part of the state has done it's best to ruin it. Still, Virginia still holds a special place for me because of it's rich history. I really like western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. Good folks there too!
