United States of America - I'm taking your ass out State by State

1. Texas - Visited Big Bend, Drove every mile of I10, Lived in Austin, Houston. Visited El Paso and San Antonio
2. Louisiana - Born and raised, the swamp water still runs in my veins. Caught 150 Speckled trout in one day at Grand Isle. Lived in Hammond. Frequented Harrahs in Downtown New Orleans. Bourbon Street till Sunrise.
3. Kansas - 3 years of my childhood in the most boring small town of Liberal Kansas. And honestly, there really is nothing else to see in this state.
4. Arizona - Hiked a 30 mile round trip into the Grand Canyon. Colorodo City - CRAZY polygamist mormon town.
5. Nevada - Slummed it in the Las Vegas Strip for a day before finally committing to a career change. Drove across Hoover Dam. I know it sounds like a tourist trap, but this place is beyond amazing.
6. New Mexico - White Sands National Park. Riudoso Casino. The Sands Casino in Albuquerque.
7. Colorado - Rocky Mountain National Park. And some fun ass drunken nights in Denver. I NEED to go back.
8. Illinois - Sears Tower in Chicago. That's all I need to see in this state.
9. Hawaii - 8 months in paradise. Maui, Kaui, Oahu, The big Island. Active Volcanoes, Swimming, Beaches, and lots of Tropical Hiking.
10. Florida - Disney Land as a kid.
11. Utah - Moab, Canyon Lands National Park, Zion National Park, Arches National Park. Certainly rivals Hawaii in it's beauty, and if climbing's your thing, far surpasses it. State Highway 12 - Gotta be the most beautiful drive in the world. It includes drop-offs on both sides.

11 Down, 39 to go. Why is life so painfully short.

Never been anywhere in the northeast? You should have come here for your interview. More relevantly, you should come here sometime this summer.
