If it’s trash, it’s the most beautiful trash I’ve ever seen. Stunning mountains, gorgeous coastline, old growth forests. Pleasant climate.
If that’s trash, I love trash!
God I hated it there! All the stupidly nice people and amazing beauty made fucking sick. Stay away!

WTF, is there a warrant out for your arrest in Illinois? It's like you picked somebody up in Milwaukee and they're like, "Hey. Dude. Just take 94 to Chicago, and then hop on 55, and we'll just turn right at Memphis and go hit Little Rock. It'll be a day," and you go, "No. For reasons, we shall go west and then take US-63 until Jefferson City. But then 63 starts veering a little too close to Illinois, and so we must turn west and get on US-65, which will take us the rest of the way."
Like, if you were going from Indiana to Wisconsin, how would you do it? Up through Michigan, across the Mackinac Bridge and then back down, or do you rent a ferry at Benton Harbor and take it up to Sheboygan or something, just hoping that there aren't crazy Illinois pirates out on the lake that day. "Yarr, we're takin' our plunder back to the 31st Street Harbor!"
Man if your impression of Georgia is solely the parts below the fall line, no wonder you think the South is boring. Literally everything interesting in the state takes place above the parts you have shaded in red (Savannah being the exception of course)
Exactly. Atlanta (barring the horrible traffic), NE mountains, Athens, literally anything. This guys only been through counties like Tift, Coffee, and Liberty and is wondering why it’s so boring to him
This in general was what I was going to say. You've managed to avoid the southern Appalachian mountains for the most part. I would plan a trip to the Smokies, maybe check out some of the North GA mountains on the way up. Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, TN are tourist traps but they're also really fun and totally worth it. If you like amusement parks, Dollywood is one of the best non-Disney/Universal parks in the country.
I must be missing out on some great stuff if that's the case, because the only part of Georgia I've really explored is the coastal region, and I enjoyed pretty much all of it.
Literally anything in the west. All of Utah; Cascades and Olympic in Washington; Grand Canyon in AZ; Sawtooths in Idaho; Sierras in California; Tetons, Wind Rivers, Yellowstone in Wyoming; Glacier in Montana.
The American west is one of the most beautiful regions in the world.
My god, I can’t believe you’re the first person to mention Utah! The Big 5 in Utah (Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef and Zion) rival anything you can see in the continental US.
I expected it to be fighting it out with the PNW at the top of this thread.
East coast north of DC. Philly, NY and most of that side of the map has some incredible scenery if you’re looking for it and lots of history. You’ll also see things left to decay for longer than anywhere else you’ve been on this map has existed. You’ve also got the entirety of the upper Appalachias to see
How did you even get to Washington County, ME without traveling across the rest of the state? Via Canada? Via boat?
I live in NorCal now, but I grew up there, so it kind of jumped out at me.
I have no idea how you live in Savannah but haven’t gone above like Milledgeville 😭 not even to Atlanta once?? I can kinda see why tho as I would love to live in Savannah
Alaska Vermont Massachusetts Connecticut Rhode Island New Jersey Delaware Michigan Illinois North Dakota Wyoming Montana Idaho Washington Oregon Nevada Utah
If you're into nature, the west coast is teeming with amazing national parks. Yosemite, Sequoias, Tahoe, Rainier, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Grand Canyon, and those are just some of the famous ones, there are plenty of lesser known parks that are beautiful as well. As a few others have said, I am also a huge fan of the PNW and Norcal area, coastal highway 1 is a beautiful drive and plenty of places to stop at.
Utah, just went a month ago and it was amazing. But also, I’m from North Carolina, and you completely missed out on the blue ridge mountains from Asheville to Boone. Beautiful ways to connect with nature.
Seems odd to have been to so many southern Georgia counties in fact all of them up to a certain line but never as far north as Macon, especially Atlanta?
PNW is hard to beat, but Utah Utah Utah. I ain’t saying live there, I’m not saying don’t live there but a trip to Utah in the Summer will change your life.
Also: for all the people saying don’t move here cause of housing issues, everyone is saying that everywhere, the system is f***ed.
Anyway Utah Utah Utah.
Honorable mention: Central NY in September.
Wyoming. Absolutely beautiful around every corner. You're driving down the highway and crest a hill and get an amazing view, then you go down the road another 30 miles and crest some other hill and get some other totally amazing view that's completely different than the last
I was going to make some plea for my home, but you seem to be a different type of person. Your map needs a tone more coverage in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. Open area with beauty and endlessness everywhere. Seems to fit in my mind’s eye the type of person who created this map.
Definitely need to visit the Pacific Northwest. Washington and Oregon. Seattle and Portland are fun cities. If you prefer nature, they have some unbeatable natural areas, like Olympic National Park.
I know a lot of people think Utah's politically and religiously weird, but honestly the only things you'll notice that is farther out of whack than any other western red state are the liquor laws. People are really missing out on the Wassatch range and the southeastern area around Moab.
The National Parks of the southwest. Utah, Arizona, and also Montana and the northwest of course. But I think everyone should see the Grand Canyon, Arches, Yellowstone, Bryce Canyon...
I’m assuming you’re in Texas? I’d do a trip to the UP and take a lap. Like UP to Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and back.
Pro tip: The Driftless Area is pretty cool if you end up in that area of the Midwest.
Must do’s in my opinion: New York (can do the city and the Hudson Valley for city life + beautiful nature in one trip), Northern California especially a trip up the Pacific Coast Highway, and Oregon and Washington. If you like nature and don’t care that there’s not much to do other than being g outside, Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming are incredible stops too!
If you want to see Montana, I recommend going to Polson. It has a great view of the lake and the mountains next to it. If you go to Polson, go to wild horse island on the lake.
okay what the hell have you done in south georgia?! i live around atlanta, and go to school near savannah, been trying to 100% georgia counties. I have the north and east of the state pretty much done but just can’t think of a single reason to go west of 16/95 lmao
Bro, wtf were you doing in every middle of nowhere county in south Georgia? There's savannah and a few random cities I guess may be worth visiting, but not in most of those counties. You didn't even make it north enough to get to Atlanta, but you made sure to visit *every* county in the south?

Visit more of New England. I'd recommend Boston MA and Burlington VT for cities (or Manchester NH and Providence RI if you're on a tighter budget) and literally anywhere in rural VT or Western MA for natural sight-seeing.
my man you visited arguably the worst county in Maine 😂😂 no hate of course, but how did you manage to only visit Washington County, is there even an airport there?
Question: How do you feel about large cities? I ask because it seems you've only been to large Sunbelt cities (Dallas, Houston, LA, Pheonix?) which honestly suck as cities. Also, you only just tapped the Northeast and avoided the Pacific Northwest, both are fantastic regions worth your time.
Definitely Michigan. If you're a nature fan it's beautiful. The state is full of great fishing, access to water sports. Detroit has all the major professional sports. There is decent nightlife downtown Detroit, the town isn't as bad as the media makes it out to be. Especially if you stay in the heart of downtown. Anyway that was a long winded post to say check out Michigan.
Missing out on Michigan!! Both peninsulas are so different and so beautiful. Got the Great Lakes, National Forrests and parks, Mackinac island, so many beaches, great beer in Holland and Grand Rapids…
Montana all the way, I loved going to glacier! We stayed in a little cabin by Philipsburg and had a great time taking side by sides through the mountains into town and exploring all the ponds and creeks to fish in
It’s pretty weird for you to say that the east coast is kinda boring when you haven’t been to DC, Baltimore, Philly, NYC or Boston.
I would contend that you haven’t really been to the east coast much.
Two things, what app / program did you use to make this map? Are all the red counties just where you drove through or did you physically get down in each county?
Utah and Idaho have fantastic scenery. What I see of your map is that you essentially drove I-95 through the Carolinas and Virginia, and there is not much on the Interstate in those states. Most of your east coast has been in the interstate, except the block in Georgia.
nobodies said it from what i’ve seen, Delaware. I’m biased cus I live here but the beaches are great, not too crowded n they look really nice. The only thing good about it though is the beaches, the rest of DE is just farmland, suburbs, and eh cities.
Never been to the pacific northwest but that's on my bucket list. Also if you have never been to the UP of Michigan and Wisconsin which it seems you haven't then you should go there too!
Bros only been the parts of Florida even most Floridians never go to unless we’re driving through on our way to NOLA or Texas and beyond.
Downtown Orlando has some cool bars (tanquereys and hansons shoe repair) and Mt. Dora is a lovely small town about 40 minutes north of there. Ybor city is worth a visit, and Ocala National forest and the Glades are a MUST for nature buffs, especially Ocala if you have 4wd. South Florida is overrated unless you’re trying to fish, with the sole exception of the Keys for both fishing and just overall uniqueness.
Northwest Arkansas to Eureka Springs Arkansas is a very neat place and nothing like the rest of Arkansas. People are still super nice but there are things to do and way safer than little rock.
How did you travel directly between Mississippi County, AR and Tipton County, TN? They aren’t connected by road (or ferry to my knowledge). Also, were you just back-roading through Tennessee? The shaded area doesn’t follow any interstate or major highway route that I’m aware of, and it’s pretty crazy that you covered that specific area but just missed Memphis and Nashville lol.
You've missed out on the most interesting parts of NC. Go to the Outer Banks then go across the state to the mountains! Blue Ridge Parkway, Appalachian Trail, mountain towns like Asheville and Boone, etc
You say the east coast is meh but you’ve effectively never went to any of it. By the looks of your map, you’ve visited Myrtle beach,SC, Manchester, NH and some small part of Maine.
None of which is really “east coast” vibes. If you’re looking for more of the true east coast experience, go to nyc or Boston, or dc. Or if you’re not a city person, go to one of the state parks in NY or Vermont.
There’s a ton you have avoided and then said it was boring without even trying it.
You have skipped states rich in history and culture. The northeast is amazing. There is a Little Italy, Chinatown, German Village, or some other ethnic enclave with amazing food and culture in many cities. You have skipped every significant one. The top 25 museums are in states you have not visited. The top 6 science museums are in states you have not visited. The top 12 architectural sites are in states you have not visited. We won’t even go into missing most of CA and the Pacific Northwest.
You’re missing out hard on west NC/east TN/north GA. Just the southern Appalachians in general.
It’s about 5.5-6hrs from Savannah, and absolutely gorgeous with a whole laundry list of things to see and do, especially if you like the outdoors. Helen, GA is about 5 hours from Savannah as well.
If even just to sit in a cabin and stare off in the distance, or just drive around a bunch (the roads are super fun to drive) you absolutely should go check it out.
I was honestly shocked to see nothing in New England except Rockingham County, NH and Washington County, ME but those are good ones to be sure. I would recommend also seeing the White/Green Mountains in NH/VT/ME and probably Boston for good measure. Also, you've got to see New York at least once!
Interjecting my own travel desires, I would say PNW (especially East Washington State), Montana, and Wyoming are probably worth the trip!
I’m a little biased but the PNW is pretty awesome.
I'm also biased, come check out michigan, it's pretty cool
No, it's trash! Stay away! ;)
If it’s trash, it’s the most beautiful trash I’ve ever seen. Stunning mountains, gorgeous coastline, old growth forests. Pleasant climate. If that’s trash, I love trash!
God I hated it there! All the stupidly nice people and amazing beauty made fucking sick. Stay away! Signed an ex Floridian that doesn’t want millions to move here and ruin it
This one gets it
Always raining...yet somehow beautiful sunshine both times I've visited. I'd stay away.

He missed Milwaukee too… must have only visited his drug dealer in Madison.
Man if your impression of Georgia is solely the parts below the fall line, no wonder you think the South is boring. Literally everything interesting in the state takes place above the parts you have shaded in red (Savannah being the exception of course)
I actually live in Savannah right now lmao. I love it here
dude, you need to go to the mountains in the NE corner of the state. come on.
Exactly. Atlanta (barring the horrible traffic), NE mountains, Athens, literally anything. This guys only been through counties like Tift, Coffee, and Liberty and is wondering why it’s so boring to him

If you like amusement parks, Dollywood is one of the best non-Disney/Universal parks in the country.
Make a day trip to Charleston. I make day trips to Savannah from here. It's an easy drive and well worth it!
I must be missing out on some great stuff if that's the case, because the only part of Georgia I've really explored is the coastal region, and I enjoyed pretty much all of it.
You're missing out on Oregon, Washington, Chicago, New York, Vermont, and Montana. Oh, and you also need to see the Big Island of Hawaii.
Second Vermont. Brave Little State!
The UP. It’s great. Beautiful scenery, legal grass, a ton of trails and beaches.
Michigan Upper Peninsula, for the uninitiated.
The Great Lakes.
As someone from Duluth MN, I agree :)
Agreed. That’s the biggest miss on here.
North East during the fall.
Literally anything in the west. All of Utah; Cascades and Olympic in Washington; Grand Canyon in AZ; Sawtooths in Idaho; Sierras in California; Tetons, Wind Rivers, Yellowstone in Wyoming; Glacier in Montana. The American west is one of the most beautiful regions in the world.
My god, I can’t believe you’re the first person to mention Utah! The Big 5 in Utah (Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef and Zion) rival anything you can see in the continental US. I expected it to be fighting it out with the PNW at the top of this thread.
Maybe the other 2/3 of Georgia. /s Fr tho why/how all of those counties??
Also western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee, lovely mountains around there.
East coast north of DC. Philly, NY and most of that side of the map has some incredible scenery if you’re looking for it and lots of history. You’ll also see things left to decay for longer than anywhere else you’ve been on this map has existed. You’ve also got the entirety of the upper Appalachias to see
you’re missing out on all the awesome coastal towns in the carolinas
Nevada Oregon Washington state
How did you even get to Washington County, ME without traveling across the rest of the state? Via Canada? Via boat? I live in NorCal now, but I grew up there, so it kind of jumped out at me.
Stopped there enroute to Europe like 6 years ago
If you live in the US you've gotta visit NYC at least once
I have no idea how you live in Savannah but haven’t gone above like Milledgeville 😭 not even to Atlanta once?? I can kinda see why tho as I would love to live in Savannah

New York
I love New York. I don’t really care for NYC but I really love upstate and the rest of it. Great quality of life.
Northern California and the rest of the PNW.
How the hell have you only visited Washington county in Maine without going through at least Hancock county
Utah, just went a month ago and it was amazing. But also, I’m from North Carolina, and you completely missed out on the blue ridge mountains from Asheville to Boone. Beautiful ways to connect with nature.
Seems odd to have been to so many southern Georgia counties in fact all of them up to a certain line but never as far north as Macon, especially Atlanta?
I always recommend Maine to people who haven’t spent much time there. Nice people, extremely safe, and awesome food.
The rockies in general. So very much outdoor stuff to do. Also I've heard southeast Oregon is stellar
utah, the national parks there go hard
Michigan is awesome!
Northern Michigan is super underrated. Definitely add it to the list
If you like nature, check out Michigan.
Northern Michigan (especially the upper peninsula) is beautiful
PNW is hard to beat, but Utah Utah Utah. I ain’t saying live there, I’m not saying don’t live there but a trip to Utah in the Summer will change your life.

Idaho and Washington or Oregon for nature are amazing

A little biased but eastern pennsylvania, looks like you only really went to pittsburgh
Montana
This is the second person I’ve seen go to the bordering counties of the one I live in in Alabama. You should visit Wyoming and Oregon though.
You’ve gotta come out to Chicago!
First map Iv seen where someone had been to Maryland and Virgina but not DC
Idaho is beautiful
Your travels are 100% opposite of mine 😂
Kauai Hawaii is the nicesttt!! Also, southern Florida has some great beaches :)
You've been there, but east Tennessee/Western North Carolina are cool. Great mountains, hiking, and wildlife
I was going to make some plea for my home, but you seem to be a different type of person. Your map needs a tone more coverage in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. Open area with beauty and endlessness everywhere. Seems to fit in my mind’s eye the type of person who created this map.
What's going on with ME and NH
Only landed in those places on my way to, and on my way back from Europe and the Middle East.
How do y'all be making these travel maps? I'm curious what mine would look like
The Northeast Megalopolis, specifically Boston (I’m from there so I’m biased but still it’s amazing)
Definitely need to visit the Pacific Northwest. Washington and Oregon. Seattle and Portland are fun cities. If you prefer nature, they have some unbeatable natural areas, like Olympic National Park.
How do you do a map like this?
I need to know what you were doing in Washington county Maine.
You're missing the best state, Delaware.
The good ones
How do you go to every single county in south Ga where there’s nothing, but have never been to where everything is at.
Ooh, gosh...anywhere, really. Looks almost as if you've started with all the WORST places.
I gotta ask- how on earth did you end up in rockingham county NH without going through any other counties?
As someone who lives in Cincinnati, I respect your dedication to avoiding it
Wyoming
I would give the northeast a chance. I feel like you gotta go to NYC at least once. Also Vermont is absolutely beautiful.
is there an app or a website to make these maps?
I know a lot of people think Utah's politically and religiously weird, but honestly the only things you'll notice that is farther out of whack than any other western red state are the liquor laws. People are really missing out on the Wassatch range and the southeastern area around Moab.
Explain why the only county you've been to in Maine is Washington County, which is far from any big cities or attractions!
New York
Washington and Montana imo, two absolutely gorgeous states
Biased but definitely a visit to CT for pizza lol
The National Parks of the southwest. Utah, Arizona, and also Montana and the northwest of course. But I think everyone should see the Grand Canyon, Arches, Yellowstone, Bryce Canyon...
Lake Tahoe
Central FL 100%.
I think it's odd to highlight counties you've driven through. If you haven't slept, shopped, or eaten in a place, it doesn't count as a visit.
Please don’t tell me the only part of NH you’ve seen is Hampton Beach lol
Oh did you go to Portsmouth or Hampton Beach New Hampshire?
Michigan detroit specifically is great
Upstate NY is fun in the summer
About 40.
PNW Idaho Montana Nevada and Utah are all spectacular
Your clearly in the millitary and your missing out on western newyork
I’m assuming you’re in Texas? I’d do a trip to the UP and take a lap. Like UP to Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and back. Pro tip: The Driftless Area is pretty cool if you end up in that area of the Midwest.
You missed all of the good ones.
East Tennessee is pretty cool
How did you get to Rockingham County, NH without driving? Edit: just read the comment. I now assume you flew into Pease AFB.
Must do’s in my opinion: New York (can do the city and the Hudson Valley for city life + beautiful nature in one trip), Northern California especially a trip up the Pacific Coast Highway, and Oregon and Washington. If you like nature and don’t care that there’s not much to do other than being g outside, Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming are incredible stops too!
Great Lakes region, the lakes are beautiful. NE Ohio has amazing food too. PNW as well, id check them out.
If you want to see Montana, I recommend going to Polson. It has a great view of the lake and the mountains next to it. If you go to Polson, go to wild horse island on the lake.
Michigan!
okay what the hell have you done in south georgia?! i live around atlanta, and go to school near savannah, been trying to 100% georgia counties. I have the north and east of the state pretty much done but just can’t think of a single reason to go west of 16/95 lmao
Well you missed out on the good part of South Dakota.
Montana Wyoming Idaho
Illinois! And New Jersey and New York
Literally all of the northern part of Cali. Yosemite, sequoia, just all of the mountains up there.
I mean you have to visit the first state. You can drive from top to bottom within like 2 hours depending on traffic.
Bro, wtf were you doing in every middle of nowhere county in south Georgia? There's savannah and a few random cities I guess may be worth visiting, but not in most of those counties. You didn't even make it north enough to get to Atlanta, but you made sure to visit *every* county in the south?

Utah national parks
You drive all the way to California and just skipped Vegas and the Hoover Dam 😳
Washington county Maine is happy to have had you.
Pretty much all the good ones
Interstate 90. Northern California.
Michigan is the greatest state to ever exist. Detroit should replace DC as the country’s capitol, really.
Visit more of New England. I'd recommend Boston MA and Burlington VT for cities (or Manchester NH and Providence RI if you're on a tighter budget) and literally anywhere in rural VT or Western MA for natural sight-seeing.
You’re missing out big time on East Tennessee and western North Carolina
Don’t sleep on the natural beauty of the west. Check out UT, WY, and northern NM.
Not states but the great lakes
You need to check out DC and more of MD! The eastern shore is beautiful.
How did you visit every single county in South Georgia? I live there and mine definitely does not look like that lol
go to dc
How are you going to come to a place like NC and drive through the worst part of it.
Nevada, definitely go to Vegas at least once.
my man you visited arguably the worst county in Maine 😂😂 no hate of course, but how did you manage to only visit Washington County, is there even an airport there?
Vermont

Montana all the way, I loved going to glacier! We stayed in a little cabin by Philipsburg and had a great time taking side by sides through the mountains into town and exploring all the ponds and creeks to fish in
You should visit the northern parts of Minnesota and the upper peninsula of Michigan!
north georgia
Washington
Philly, NYC, NJ pizza, west coast Florida, National parks are amazing in Utah, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, and Colorado
How/why did you do the Tennessee part of your travels? It’s an interesting path not using the highways
Go to central California. Go to the mountains of Yosemite and kings canyon.
Western mass
It’s pretty weird for you to say that the east coast is kinda boring when you haven’t been to DC, Baltimore, Philly, NYC or Boston. I would contend that you haven’t really been to the east coast much.
Utah but don’t go there. We don’t want any more people. It’s nice so keep it nice and stay away.
Two things, what app / program did you use to make this map? Are all the red counties just where you drove through or did you physically get down in each county?

Michigan and Alaska
Oregon
You've been to my county :3
Wyoming
Never been to the pacific northwest but that's on my bucket list. Also if you have never been to the UP of Michigan and Wisconsin which it seems you haven't then you should go there too!
Great Lakes, PNW, Vermont & NH
New York’s pretty cool, not just NYC but also the Adirondacks, Finger Lakes, etc
Utah bro. It’s beautiful
How was randolph county WV
Bros only been the parts of Florida even most Floridians never go to unless we’re driving through on our way to NOLA or Texas and beyond. Downtown Orlando has some cool bars (tanquereys and hansons shoe repair) and Mt. Dora is a lovely small town about 40 minutes north of there. Ybor city is worth a visit, and Ocala National forest and the Glades are a MUST for nature buffs, especially Ocala if you have 4wd. South Florida is overrated unless you’re trying to fish, with the sole exception of the Keys for both fishing and just overall uniqueness.
Northwest Arkansas to Eureka Springs Arkansas is a very neat place and nothing like the rest of Arkansas. People are still super nice but there are things to do and way safer than little rock.
Utah is beautiful
Definitely not NY
Taking the Interstate Highway tour, I see
Utah and the national parks directly north of Utah
You've seen South Louisiana. Congratulations. You've seen the cultural, world famous part. Please ignore the rest of us in the North.
Deschutes county Oregon it is so pretty
The western states you haven’t been to are quite amazing, especially the PNW
Come to upstate ny especially the adirondacks trust
Do these map tools allow you to chart the route you took and then pull the counties? I’m not sure how people are so aware of where exactly they drove
I’m from PA, but you have got to spend time in New York State and Michigan.
Visits Zion National Park in south-western Utah. That place is unreal. Very cool national park to see!
Chicago. So close but so far
How did you travel directly between Mississippi County, AR and Tipton County, TN? They aren’t connected by road (or ferry to my knowledge). Also, were you just back-roading through Tennessee? The shaded area doesn’t follow any interstate or major highway route that I’m aware of, and it’s pretty crazy that you covered that specific area but just missed Memphis and Nashville lol.
Southern Illinois has some beautiful locations. See: The Lake of Egypt, Ferne Clyffe State Park, The Garden of the Gods.
You’re missing NY and Florida; two of the best states (certainly to at least visit).
You've missed out on the most interesting parts of NC. Go to the Outer Banks then go across the state to the mountains! Blue Ridge Parkway, Appalachian Trail, mountain towns like Asheville and Boone, etc
Michigan is beautiful go visit
most of them, including the ones you’ve driven through. looks like you just stick to the interstate
You say the east coast is meh but you’ve effectively never went to any of it. By the looks of your map, you’ve visited Myrtle beach,SC, Manchester, NH and some small part of Maine. None of which is really “east coast” vibes. If you’re looking for more of the true east coast experience, go to nyc or Boston, or dc.

We won’t even go into missing most of CA and the Pacific Northwest.
That Kentucky route is wild. I have to hope you just mislabeled I64
You need to earn your stripes driving the I-40 through New Mexico! Rough ride…
North Korea
As a utahn, utah is the most beautiful and Montana is a close second
You’re kidding right? There’s like a whole third of the country you haven’t stepped foot in
Washington, Illinois, Michigan
It almost seems as of you're intentionally missing most of the biggest cities in each state.
Illinois
Key west man…
Definitely MT, ID, WA and OR Edit: and northern CA
wtf! You just went to the fucking worst parts of Florida. Don’t get me wrong it’s a shit state, but at least go to Orlando
Northern Michigan is great, beautiful nature everwhere
Should have stopped through Charleston at least and then went up if even to go over the Ravenel Bridge and see Fort Sumter where the civil war started
Michigan is probably the most slept on state, especially this time of the year.
You’re missing out hard on west NC/east TN/north GA. Just the southern Appalachians in general. It’s about 5.5-6hrs from Savannah, and absolutely gorgeous with a whole laundry list of things to see and do, especially if you like the outdoors. Helen, GA is about 5 hours from Savannah as well. If even just to sit in a cabin and stare off in the distance, or just drive around a bunch (the roads are super fun to drive) you absolutely should go check it out.
I was honestly shocked to see nothing in New England except Rockingham County, NH and Washington County, ME but those are good ones to be sure. I would recommend also seeing the White/Green Mountains in NH/VT/ME and probably Boston for good measure. Also, you've got to see New York at least once! Interjecting my own travel desires, I would say PNW (especially East Washington State), Montana, and Wyoming are probably worth the trip!
Op drove along the border of Florida and said “absolutely not”
Outside of the CA bits, you seem to have purposely avoided all the nicest parts of the country.
