Let's see if we can document riding in all 50 states. Here's the rules. We will go in Alphabetical order. Post a pic you took of your bike or friends bikes in the state that's up. Then list the next state. To get more people involved do not post in more than one state in a row unless no one else posts within 24 hours. Lets see how fast we can do this....or if we can do this.
Edit: I'll add one more rule. If no one can come up with a pic in 36 hours we'll skip that state and move on. It would be nice if we can get them all but there's a few sates that may be tough.
Here's the states:
The 50 states in alphabetical order are as follows: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Done
Skipped
I'll start.

Paging Brian A to the courtesy phone! I know you got some Idaho pics!
It's been over 36 hours but I'm going to change the rules a bit to keep this going. I think Brian A is riding Baja or something silly like that ;) so I'll just steal a pic from his Idaho ride report and post it here.

Me too. Back in 2000, I took a great trip on my Shadow 1100 from northern Virginia through Maryland and into central Pennsylvania and back. By accident, I stumbled into Burkittsville, MD (of Blair Witch Project fame) and Gathland State Park (first time I heard of the Appalachian Trail). That is some beautiful country up there, but I failed to take any pictures (or I cannot find them).
It's been over 24 hours so I'll post again. I lived in Maryland for three years. This was taken in front of our house.

OK, that's all the states. If you go back to the first post you can see how we did. We got 45 states and skipped 5. I'm sure that we have people who rode those states but didn't get any pics.
Here are the states we missed. If you have a pic of you riding in any of these, please post it up sometime today.
Minnesota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington, and Wisconsin were the states missed.
Great job on the states that were posted. Great idea Win.

You would have been with in 10 miles of my home when I lived in MD.
I can't believe you didn't stop in and say "hi"

I liked being able to get on great roads right out of my driveway.

Pennsylvaina......Sorry I missed it earlier. If you want to move it to the proper place, feel free. Pretty sure I have Rhode Island too, just gotta find it.
