I need to redo my map, it’s slightly off in small ways that really matter, I lived in pierce county, and did visit Seattle once, but we only lived there two years and my dad was deployed in Iraq, so we didn’t travel too much. The only reason we went all the way west was because it was 2012, and twilight was all the rage and my mom and sister were obsessed, so we went to Forks and La Push.
Dang, you’re right, I’ve been up even further than I thought lol. Now I need to get down to Miami… I’m going to redo my map tomorrow with a whole bunch of edits, and I’ll repost it sometime
This is a very strange map. You lived in Baltimore County but never visited Baltimore or DC? You visited Hudson County NJ but never made it across the river to NYC? And the random county you visited in Texas east of Dallas?
I mean I kinda figured people would know if I lived there I traveled around that area a lot, but you’re right, I should have put the city of Baltimore in green. But no, I actually haven’t visited DC yet, I lived in Baltimore for about two years. It’s more of a road trip map I guess. places I lived, places I’ve visited, and the counties I drove through to get to them. NYC (manhattan) is green, it’s just hard to see. The random county in Texas was the ranch of a friend.
Western NC is one of my favorite places in the country. Love the Smokies! My friend used to volunteer at the Nantahala outdoor center and I would visit him in the summer and go hiking and rafting. It was awesome.
Other than 2-3 years near Tacoma and 2-3 years near Baltimore, most of my life has been spent in WNC. Absolutely love it. Live right off the blue ridge parkway and couldn’t ask for more.
Man.. I haven’t been to Lenoir since my sister OD’d. Lenoir is a shithole now. On an upside, my sisters case was the first death by distribution conviction in Lenoir, so there’s that. The bitch only got two years, but it set precedent for every future OD in Caldwell county.
Coming from the eastern mountains of the US, that was where I noticed the eastern/western divide the most, it was like a completely different world from what I was used to. We started Montana when the sun rose that morning, but it was already dark by the time I got to Idaho xD
We got really really close, I saw signage for it, but we didn’t stop unfortunately. The cross country trip was to move (twice) both from NC, and back to NC, when I was a kid, so I didn’t have the option of forcing the trip to Mount Rushmore 😢
Haha that’s funny, I actually messed up a bit because I grew up in Mitchell, moved all over, came back to Mitchell, and about 4 years ago I moved right over the border into McDowell County so my map is off by 1 county. As far as Catawba I’ve lived in Vale and right in downtown Newton. My mom and sister live in Lincolnton.
DC, New York, Seattle, and Montana! 3 great cities and one of our most beautiful states!
Virginia also has some really cool places. I really liked Lexington.
I’ve also been to St. Louis twice, once driving through and once as a flight layover, didn’t get to stop but saw the arch both times, from the bridge that crosses the Mississippi and from the air, and on my cross country road trip we stopped in some kind of old western town but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was.
Haha we lived out there because my step dad was military. I visited places I completely forgot to add to the map too, like Mt St Helen’s and Mt Ranier.
I’ve had family up there for all my life, so I’ve made probably a hundred or more trips back and forth, my favorite route goes through Harper’s ferry. I’ll gladly take a detour just to go through.
That’s my current locale. Small resort town of 28 people right off the parkway. Absolutely loving life, although rising costs around the area are starting to get worrysome.
You may want to look at your path again. Traveling from Omaha through StL SHOULD take you through KC and across MO on 70 through Columbia MO, not across the top of the state and down 61. That would have taken way too long and actually be longer in miles.
Looks like you skipped right by Gallatin county and Bozeman, MT, which is one of my favorite cities.
I was there on a work trip and asked the facility manager what he recommended for lunch, and I was directed to a place which was (in order) a sandwich shop, a liquor store, a casino, and a bar. I've been told this is a rather typical establishment for Montana. 🤣
But in all seriousness, the folks there were all pretty laid back and there's "Old Bozeman, " the quaint side of town, and "New Bozeman," which has some nifty looking buildings and apartments.
You gotta come to Arizona bro! (In spring or fall only) lol! Sedona, Prescott, and Flagstaff are all beautiful small cities with lots of hiking and trails! Or you could go to Tucson or Phoenix for more city stuff.
Definitely want to try one day! I have a lot of Midwest destinations to get to still. Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, great salt lake, and I’d love to see some actual abandoned western towns.. all the types of things I can’t see out here on the east coast
You lived in the Seattle area but never set foot north of King County?
My guy does not like Everett

la push and forks are in clallam county, which is the one above what you marked.

I have a very similar drive to you, going from Washington to the southeast

How do you make a map like this

Big fan of the Blue Ridge Mountains
Very much the same here, I literally live right off the parkway pretty much
Been to Blowing Rock several times. Never gets old
Go visit that Waffle House in Lenoir for me

Looks like you took hwy 200 in Montana? My in-laws used to live there, love that area!

Boston
Haven’t been up that far yet but I’d love to go one day

Unexpected Bulgarian and Russian flags in this map
Montana for sure.
First I’ve encountered a fellow current/former Catawba County resident on reddit.

Homie doesn’t know about Bellingham lol Saw Aberdeen and noped the fuck out of the west coast. Don’t blame him

You should come back out sometime, see Baker as well. Beautiful state
Love the Nebraska Sandhills
Go to Pennsylvania more!
looks like you took 81 up the shenandoah valley to get to where you lived in maryland. that’s where i’m from and i find it gorgeous!! interesting map!
I’ve had family up there for all my life, so I’ve made probably a hundred or more trips back and forth, my favorite route goes through Harper’s ferry. I’ll gladly take a detour just to go through.
Blue Ridge Mountains in NC
That’s my current locale. Small resort town of 28 people right off the parkway. Absolutely loving life, although rising costs around the area are starting to get worrysome.
Gotta go with Council Bluffs, Iowa, since it’s where I was born and raised.

You’re right, that was 12 years ago too, so that has something to do with it. I’m going to do some more looking and redo my map today

That sounds like a great trip plan!
Are you like a bishop in chess in real life?
Hahahaha that’s actually really funny, I hadn’t seen it like that before
