The Domestic Travels

I enjoy traveling, and I love geography, so I was very excited when a friend of mine recently mentioned this website that allows people to track their travels, county by county, across the country. I spent a couple hours entering my data (thanks to some helpful information from my dad regarding trip routes from my childhood) and now I have this wonderful map.

I categorized the counties thusly:

In cyan (light blue) are places where I’ve traveled in an automobile (or other motorized land vehicle). These include:

Seattle/Olympic National Park

Silicon Valley

Grand Canyon

El Paso/Juarez

Dallas

Galveston

New Orleans/Baton Rouge

Nashville

Des Moines

Minneapolis

Green Bay

Sault Ste. Marie

Cedar Point/Sandusky

Washington DC

Wilmington, NC

Hilton Head, SC/Savannah, GA

Hawaii & Kauai islands

Most of Illinois, Indiana, and central Appalachia

Everything along the way to these places

In magenta (light purple) are places where I’ve been bicycling (and probably travelled by auto also). These include:

near Portland

San Francisco & Marin County

San Jose/Cupertino

Dallas

Des Moines

Madison

Green Bay

Pittsburgh

Wilmington, NC

High points of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Hawaii

Most of Illinois & some of Indiana

In dark blue are places where I’ve been, but only in the airport (i.e. I had a layover there). These include:

Los Angeles

Phoenix

Salt Lake City

Kansas City

Atlanta

Miami

Honolulu

It’s exciting to remember all the great places I’ve been, and just as exciting to think about all the places I have yet to explore. I’ve still never set foot in 19 states:

Maine

New Hampshire

Vermont

Massachusetts

Rhode Island

Connecticut

New York

New Jersey

Delaware

Alabama

Nebraska

South Dakota

North Dakota

Colorado

Wyoming

Montana

Idaho

Nevada

Alaska

I’ve got places to go. Hopefully I will keep the map updated along the way.
