***BS ALERT*** ***BS ALERT*** The following is 75% BS, and 25% truth, it is up to you to determine which is which. I think the thread was getting a bit too serious, so I thought I would stir the pot a bit sort of. I will admit that Louisiana's is TRUE , the rest You will have to just guess at and hopefully have a laugh or two. I'll post my real list tomorrow when I am not so darn tired.

• Alabama - Auburn hair in a long loose braid, backlit summer dress, nice pleasant walk through Auburn's campus.

• Arizona - Blond hair serving drinks at a watering hole in Clovis (At least I think it was Clovis, details are a bit fuzzy.)

• Arkansas - Another blond with leather chaps hanging on for dear life on the back of my motorcycle.

• California - Brunette on roller blades by Muscle Beach, drinks, dining, dancing later.

• Colorado - Set of twins I met at Arapaho Basin, nuff said.

• Connecticut - Been there, nobody sticks in my memory though.

• Delaware - Sisters from Dover vacationing in Maine. Never met sisters quite like those three before or since.

• District of Columbia - Nope, drawing a blank, what's here again?

• Florida - Georgia from Florida. She was very nice to this Yankee.

• Georgia - Dirty blond in a pony-tail slinging drinks at a hotel bar. Nice conversationalist.

• Hawaii - Never been, on my to-do list.

• Idaho - Kristy

• Illinois - Andrea and her little friend. (Literally, the friend was a little person, very cool couple) And yes they were a couple, very nice people indeed.

• Indiana - My Place, Fort Wayne. What a great evening.

• Iowa - corn fed cuties

• Kansas - Best friends older sister showing me around, then later we went into Kansas City for some site-seeing.

• Kentucky - Lori.

• Louisiana - Mardi-Gras party and waking up in a dingy rat-hole using a human skull as a pillow with some freaky black haired chick.

• Maine - Lived here for 20 years, don't think I have the time or space to list names.

• Maryland - Marie who was an intern at Johns Hopkins. Gotta love those Australians and their accents.

• Massachusetts - Laura (Married this one, she is a keeper)

• Michigan - Lived here 24 years, see Maine for explanation.

• Minnesota - Ahhh, the memories.

• Mississippi - Long Brown hair, too small of a tube top and Daisy Dukes shooting pool. Having aforementioned girls boyfriend try to shoot me later in the evening for something - can't imagine what though.

• Missouri - Show me! --- OK. I liked Missouri

• Montana - Cowgirls. Rodeo girls to be more precise.

• Nebraska - Nice friendly locals. Riding a 1/2 tame horse across the plains hanging on for dear life because she was cute and wanted to take me for a ride "out back" to show me around the area. Damn horse!

• Nevada - A small redhead wondering if I was wearing Elephant skin cowboy boots at a bar.

• New Hampshire - Ruth.

• New Jersey - Not a blessed thing is coming to mind, sorry

• New Mexico - Sun bleached blond hair blowing in the hot breeze, tan from here-to-there and everywhere in between.

• New York - 1/2 naked Cabbie, good Lord, I'll never get that out of my head.

• North Carolina - Don't know about a Tarheel, but there are sure some rounded heels in the state.

• North Dakota - So cold you just HAVE to cozy up. Not finding out what she is really built like for 3 months when it warms up and the 57 layers comes off.

• Ohio - Uggg, I'm supposed to hate Ohio because I was born and raised in Michigan. Not all of Ohio is bad though... well kind of .

• Oklahoma - Marsha and Lydia.

• Oregon - Walking along the beach at Yachats with Deloris.

• Pennsylvania - Sleeping at a flea-bag motel in the middle of nowhere and about having to fight off the local bar skanks to get to my room.

• Rhode Island - Again, nothing comes to mind.

• South Carolina - Half Mexican + half Irish = ALL hot.

• South Dakota - Thinking I was never going to get back on the road after a stop for a few drinks, and ended up staying almost a week.

• Tennessee - Wondering in a half drunk condition if you HAD to sleep with your sister if you were in Tennessee and hoping it wasn't true.

• Texas - Lived here 2 years, one name stands out like a shining star - Alisha.

• Utah - Skiing down the mountain behind a goddess on skis. Actually running into her at the bottom because I was distracted by another higher goddess getting on the lift.

• Vermont - Claudia.

• Virginia - Tasha. She was very nice to a Yankee country boy down on vacation.

• Washington - Long Black hair windsurfing. Trying to ride that damn board to impress her and failing miserably (at least she saved me from drowning myself trying to look cool). I've often wondered if mouth-to-mouth could be skewed into saying we kissed? LOL

• West Virginia - Take me home, country road. Man I hated that song!

• Wisconsin - Lisa and her inner tube on an unknown named river that empties into Lake Michigan.

• Wyoming - A Preachers Daughter and a Preachers Son left alone on the ski slopes of Jackson Hole.

Darn, I forgot Alaska somehow. Well, just make up some crazy thing about an Eskimo and seal blubber, and we'll call it good.

Like your #1! I got to meet the only President I've even shook hands with there...Nixon. I didn't know whether to be tickled or horrified.

Did you mean Snoqualmie Pass for #16?

And #14 could also say produces more bushels of wheat per acre planted than any where else in the world.

I could also add Grand Coulee Dam, home of Gary Larson, Boeing, the Gorge at George, multiple reservations, desert, rain forest, alpine, coastline, 3 National Parks, etc., etc.
