Brown Mansion in Coffetville, Kansas? Amelia Earhart's birthplace in St. Joseph, Missouri? How did I end up here? I got back to Tulsa Tuesday night and John had a business trip that involved driving up to Omaha the very next morning. So I went with him, even though the trip would have to be all about business, barely slowing down to get a few pictures of places I hope to eventually see close up. And I finally got to cross Nebraska off my list of states. (Doesn't everyone have a list of states that they still need to visit - and landing there in an airplane doesn't qualify?) I have driven through all the states bordering Nebraska, and now I've done Nebraska, too.
So, maybe you would enjoy the links in this post?

Love those houses...wood frame houses make me homesick...
I live in Kansas and have never visited either place and never Nebraska either. I really don't like to travel. Maybe someday when they invent a transporter...
ReplyDeleteIt isn't that I don't like new places, I just don't like to travel to get there.
Hi Shelley - That site was lots of fun. I might be able to get my map up, but if there is nothing else here but a bunch of html code, it didn't work.

Create your own visited map of The United States or Like this? try: Archean
Hi Debbi - There is a special transporter to get places when you don't like to travel - it's called Valium. Buy a plane ticket and pop a few. Only drawback is that you can't travel alone. That's how a friend of mine who is enamored with all things British finally got to England. (And home again.)
ReplyDeleteYes! I do have a list of states, and I don't even live in the USA:) I count landing in a plane, on the basis of lack of opportunity, and current count is 9, with several visited twice over. Hope to improve the score one day.
ReplyDeleteHi Patricia - I agree that you should have more leeway in your counting. If Oklahoma isn't on your list, you should add it. I think you've been to Texas, and the change when you cross the border is very obvious.
ReplyDeleteHi Beryl,
ReplyDeleteBoth of those homes are exceedingly beautiful very in different way. So nice that you have opportunity to get around and see these places. Hmm, hadn't thought about marking states off my list in a long time, but you inspired me to revisit it. Best I can count, I have visited 44 states; Nebraska, Nevada, Rhode Island, Vermont, Alaska, Hawaii still to go!
Hi Sanda - You should go to the website that Shelley suggests and do your own map and see how neat it looks. You have been to quite a few states - lots more than I have, for sure.
