About a month ago during the planning of this trip, Jeff realized that, once completed, there would have been only 3 states in all of the USA that he would not have visited yet.
Realizing that this was frustrating close to being a totally complete list, Jeff wondered which of the remaining states would have been practical to add to the list. Turns out that one state, the state of Montana, was only 11 miles out of the way from the nominal path to today’s stopping point of Cody, WY.
Having no particular place to go in Montana for this trip, the discussion came up of what constitutes a “visit” to a paritucular state. The general consensus was if you went to the bathroom in the state or slept there, then the state “counted” as being visted.
So, today I peed in Montana leaving only the following states left to visit after this trip:
- Alaska
- North Dakota
Tomorrow we head from Cody, WY to Yellowstone, Grand Teton and end up in Jackson, WY for a two night layover there. Our first “major” stop of the trip. Wow…the days are just flying by!
