I am a little excited. The marked states above are all the states that I have visited. I have my own rules about what counts as a visit: flying over a state or changing planes do not count. On the other hand some of those states have been mainly driven through on road trips. At least we spent several hours in each case looking at the stuff on either side of the interstate.
Now, you might have noticed that I did not get to the old South, nor to New England. Hopefully I will be able to remedy that at some stage. But the most glaring point on the map is that single white (OK, pale grey) state encircled by a sea of red: Yes, Colorado is the only state west of the Mississippi that I have not visited yet.
And, as you might have guessed by now, I am on my way there. I have a conference in Denver starting on Wednesday. And while travel for me is not all about "been there, done that," this will bring some sense of completion.

You'll like Colorado. Your eye for beauty will be given a rare treat. Even the city can be beautiful ... but get out of town if you can. Two hours south is Colorado Springs and Garden of the Gods ... bring your camera.
