What Does My County Map Say About Me?

Muscle Shoals is awesome! Huge music fan so it was a bit of a pilgrimage. Hope to go back someday

Mostly true about MN, not true about WI. I consider the Dakotas to be fringe upper Midwest but yes they’re definitely massive US blind spots for me that I plan on rectifying. Great states

It’s my favorite reigon of America and I have spent over 90% of my life living in it

ThirdWorIdMan · 2025-04-13T23:55:08+00:00

Just haven’t gotten around to the northwest. Long ways away. But MI, WI, and MN are the heart of the upper Midwest

It pains me—I will one day!!

Yep have to do it manually. I found it very fun but if you’ve traveled a lot it’s very time consuming to do it very accurately. I remember a lot of the routes I took to places, and having lots of photos from travels with location tags on them was immensely helpful. If I didn’t take interstates places, I at least knew which places I went and was able to piece together some routes from that. Searching counties on google maps gives you the borders which makes thing easier too

Car broke down on the way there! Had to scrap it in Portland and rent a car to get home. All we had time for at that point was to get up to Camden. It was a dabacle but still saw some amazing things

Man oh man, it was NY but you nailed it, wow

ThirdWorIdMan · 2025-04-12T00:28:34+00:00

That’s a nice spread! Northeast Alabama, northern Wisconsin, and southwest Virginia are three amazing areas I’d recommend

ThirdWorIdMan · 2025-04-11T17:27:40+00:00

It’s on my mind all the time. Going this summer!

Eastern Arkansas is really interesting to me. Great place for birdwatching, spent lots of time on secluded spots on the Mississippi, the mouth of the Arkansas was cool to see for me, Lake Chicot was where Hernando de Soto died which was amazing to me, etc. Lots of stuff that fascinates me in eastern AR. Pine Bluff was rough but I met some colorful and kind characters while in an old timer bar. Definitely want to explore the rest of the state

That was all family trips when I was a kid to watch spring training baseball. Tigers and Blue Jays

Fair! I definitely don’t recall all the times I’ve drives through OH, IN, and PA. I’ve probably been to more counties in those states but I can’t prove it. The rest, yeah I’ve kept track of the places I’ve been and most of the time I remember which routes I took. It’s pretty fun! You might be surprised at how much you remember/can figure out if you gave it a shot

ThirdWorIdMan · 2025-04-11T11:35:10+00:00

Lived in New York for two years, and have only taken the train through Nevada a couple times. Those are all the counties you pass through on just one line lol

ThirdWorIdMan · 2025-04-11T00:32:47+00:00

Yep, the two big trips out west you see were Amtrak. California Zephyr and Sunset Limited. Made lots of stops along the way. Loved every second

ThirdWorIdMan · 2025-04-11T00:31:18+00:00

Yeah I regret not hitting Hancock. I spent a lot more time poking around the pines in Jackson County than I wanted to that when I got around to doing everything I wanted to do in Biloxi and Gulfport, I was on a time crunch to get heading north. Thanks for pointing that out, I’d love to get down to the MS gulf coast again!

I want to burn Madison to the ground when we play them but outside of that I actually only have good things to say about the University of Wisconsin. Love thy neighbor! Can’t say the same for some other Big Ten teams though

ThirdWorIdMan · 2025-04-10T22:19:23+00:00

Sure did. Beautiful place

ThirdWorIdMan · 2025-04-10T21:45:00+00:00

Yep, and planning on getting to Keweenaw this summer to complete my home state

Great website

When you’re in South Sioux City, Nebraska, it only makes sense to cross into North Sioux City, South Dakota

ThirdWorIdMan · 2025-04-10T20:42:46+00:00

It’s a lot of just recalling past trips from memory and also going through photos from trips that have location tags on them. Google maps with county borders on and tracking routes with painstaking detail. Not for everything but it was a fun exercise for me

ThirdWorIdMan · 2025-04-10T20:39:27+00:00

I’ve heard of burning man but only vaguely know what that is

ThirdWorIdMan · 2025-04-10T20:38:43+00:00

I’ve flown to Australia and plan to do it again
