Welcome to <State Name Here> Signs

"Proof" that I've been there

<< BACK

26 States... and counting
I've been to more (41), but I haven't gotten "Welcome To" signs of them all... I'll get them all - and have welcome pictures - before I'm done!  Its only a matter of time...

Here's a Map... I've been to the green-tinted ones...
 You can click on the ones that are links, and the page will jump down to there...  The rest I haven't taken the "entry" pictures for (yet)
 


To me, not much beats a good road trip. I love to drive! I've driven the width of the country on I-90 and I-80 in both directions, and driven pretty much all of I-70, too.  I've also Driven from Virginia to Maine on I-95, Kansas to Maine and back,  Kansas to Oregon, Washington to Iowa, and Iowa to Washington by way of North Dakota... Like I said, I like to drive.

As I enter a State, I typically take a picture of the "Welcome to" sign... they're all different, sometimes even within the same state...

As I find the pictures I've taken, and take more, of course, I'll add them here... for lack of any other format, I'm sorting them generally West Coast to East Coast...
