August 31, 2016 –  I crossed the North Dakota state line, traveling up US Highway 85 from our home in Colorado. I had now officially seen all fifty states. I started traveling at a young age (two), and I continue to travel now (nearing 65). I hope I never stop.

This is a collection of those stories, along with photographs, antidotes, fun facts, and occasional bad jokes. From Indiana (the first story) to North Dakota (the last), I have collected travel tales and made photographs from the road.  Many of the stories are written – many more are in the works.

I am finished and have written one story from each state, as well as from Washington D.C.  My book, Fifty-One: My Travels Across America is available on Amazon. Check it out. Better yet, buy a copy. You’ll be glad you did.

Look for new posts under The Fifty-One header and enjoy the journey. Comments and feedback are always appreciated. If you’ve been there and seen that, add to the conversation.
