This is really fun. You can compile your own map, by county, of where you have been. Then it mosaics together into one cumulative 50 state map.

You can an account by going onto the following:
Counties Visited Map

I will post the map I made of counties I visited in the US. My total is a pathetic 731 out of 3141. I think this is a much better barometer of how much you've traveled, compared to how many states you've visited. For instance, I've been in 47 states, but only 20% of the counties. Many of these counties were compiled by virtue of driving across the country various times on different Interstates.

Cool! I will do this and post it in a bit...

That being said... there are a lot of places in the U.S. that I just see no reason to go to... I've been to a little less than 40 states, and I'd say 5 of those not much there, and only about 5 more I'd want to go to and that is Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii...

In contrast I've also been to 28 countries... where I think there is more to see.
