Nope. Makes me actually want to fly into Philadelphia, rent a car and drive through Delaware.

Do it! You'll pass by the surprisingly pretty waterfront of Wilmington (New Castle) - and highly recommend crossing over one of the major highway bridges at sunrise, see the pretty rural landscape of Kent County (also passing right through Dover with its iconic speedway), and then jet on through Sussex (which also alternates rural saltmarsh and farmland with the quaintness of Rehoboth Beach and the Indian River area!)

The state I am closest to completing by number remaining is Delaware, where I have yet to visit two out of three counties, but by percentage it's California, where I still have four out of fifty-eight. I have been to the most  counties in Georgia (85 of 159).

No, but I have all but a few in California.
I'd like to at some point for the Western states, where there is generally interesting stuff in every county.
55 down, three to go. Got Lake County last week. Will almost certainly get Tulare later this summer. No idea when I'll get to Trinity and Imperial. They're so far away from absolutely everything.

Probably just Delaware and D.C. The next closest ones are probably Hawai'i with 3/5 (Honolulu, Kaua'i, and Hawai'i) and Arizona with 9/15 (Maricopa, Pinal, Pima, Graham, Greenlee, Apache, Navajo, Coconino, and Mohave).

no, i'd bet i've hit 80% or so of them in TN, SC, and AZ, but otherwise don't really even come close.

I assumed New Jersey but I'm not sure I've been to Warren County.

No, but I'm close in several states (and have been to DC, fwiw)



Numerical
1. Connecticut (-1)
2. Rhode Island (-2)
3. Delaware (-2)
4. Oregon (-4)
5. Massachusetts (-8)
6. Utah (-9)

Percentage
1. Oregon (32/36, 88.89%)
2. Connecticut (7/8, 87.5%)
3. Utah (20/29, 68.97%)
4. Washington (26/39, 66.67%)
5. Rhode Island (3/5, 60%)
6. California (33/58, 56.90%)

Think the first state I complete (if any) will be Rhode Island - the areas I haven't seen in Oregon and Connecticut (as well as MA, UT, DE, and WA) are quite out of my way.

To complicate matters, CT is rearranging its county boundaries next year. There will be 9 instead of 8.

Rhode Island, D.C., and Delaware. Been to 66.6% (14/21 counties) in NJ and 72.8% (8/11 counties in CT).

I haven't even visited every county in my own state. Sad

I've now been to all but one in Nevada, without even thinking about the counties as a goal in itself. Helps that their counties are the size of New England states.

No. If we count airports, then I'm only missing two in Hawaii, and I have completed Western Washington, though it's hard to imagine that I'll make it to counties like Asotin or Pend Oreille.

Which one is your last one? Mine was Lincoln, followed closely by White Pine.

Haven't been to Pershing and probably won't for a long time. Got the whole northern and eastern tier on the last trip: Humboldt, Lander, Eureka, Elko, White Pine, Lincoln,  Clark. Only drove through the first three,  with incidental stops in Humboldt and Lander. Did lots of stuff in the latter four.

The Nevada desert is a weird place. Mountains 75 or 100 miles away look clear as day. Buildings that look a few miles away are a dozen miles away. You can probably see thousands of square miles of sagebrush at a time. Really weird compression of visual space.

That’s a surprising one to be missing! I would’ve figured something like Mineral, Esmeralda, Nye, Lincoln, or White Pine. You’ll get Pershing if you take 80 across NV though.

Yeah, parts of 80 are kind of eerie like that. Makes it seem like you’re not making any progress even though you're going at least 80 mph.

But you'd have to visit Sussex county though.  Technically you can cover New Castle and Kent without problems because they are Biden counties as a whole, and then just walk around Milford being extra careful not to set foot outside town.  You'd have to endanger yourself in Trump precincts in Kent county just to get to Milford, though.

There's probably another thread on this somewhere, but the new areas sure don't roll off the tongue. And "Capitol Planning Region" is particularly grating; is there a reason it's named for the state capitol building and not the state capital city?
