Major announcement: I will be crossing the border into ND and my 50th state shortly

Cool story bro. Send me a postcard.

How many are there in total? I know I could count on the flag but have none around...

nice! there should be a U.S. government reception for you...but it probably won't happen because it's a Sunday.most people never make it to more than 8-10 states i'm guessing.i'm 32 and only have 3 left, so your record is in jeopardy. Alaska, South Dakota, and New Mexico. Feet have to touch the ground for it to count.

I'm in Pierre South Dakota and heading north on 83. I'll cross the border in about 3 hours near Hague North Dakota and when I do so it will be my 50th state.

I will be wearing an LRC shirt if a welcoming part is going to be sent.

I took a 3 hour detour yesterday to cross Nebraska off the list. I realized I had never been there after confirming i didn't drive through on a road trip from Boulder to Terre Haute for NCAA xc.

Only state that may be a bit iffy is Michigan. I've been to the Detroit airport multiple times. I thought i drove from Detroit to Canada once but it didn't happen.

I lived in Chicago as a kid for 3 years and need to see if we ever went to Michigan. I was trying not to count airports.

I dun bin ta all tha confeeeederat states .

Big deal. Obama went to 57 during his first campaign for presidency.

What attire is permitted for the welcoming party? Is it black-tie only or is any good suit acceptable?

Airports definitely do not count. Get Michigan taken care of.

I (age 31) have three trips left to get to 50. One to Alaska, one to New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, and one to Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Maybe I should find some races in those places.

When did you go to Alaska, wejo?

Wejo, whenever you get into North Dakota, could you please call Rojo and ask him when he plans to publish the Mike Rossi article?

49 for me . I'm missing Michigan but I have Alaska as both a state and a territory - no only in airport states.

I have a friend who is missing Alaska and Michigan as States she has visited and had sex in- her husband co-holds that record although he was not a husband during their visits to all the states and they did not visit Hawaii together.

For track and field fans the all NACAC countries, a country in all the IAAF Areas and the biggie all IAAF member countries would be great visited targets.

Congratulations

So you have 4 more States to go? 54 states plus miami?

Wejo, you ran the River Bank Run in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 2001. Congrats!

My dad has confirmed I went to Michigan as a kid.

You all are right I need to dress appropriately for the occasion. I will put on a jacket on top of my LRC shirt. It being the sabbath that governor could not send a welcoming party.

I may send one of my dogs across first to make sure it is safe.

It looks like I'll have internet. I will see if I can periscope the crossing.

I went to alaska 3 years ago and loved it. Favorite state outside of Texas.

And sex in all 50 states? I knew I was going to be one upped.

Check twitter for periscope . 7 miles away

You should have come up to Fargo. We're having steak.

ND is going to be a huge disappointment after visiting South Dakota. Please accept my condolences. That being said it is also literally on my list of the last place I would want to visit in the US and I'm from South Dakota!

there is nothing in north dakota, it is just the area left over after they drew all the other states

+1

Fargo is basically in Minnesota.
