Have you been to every county in your state (or any other state)?

No, I have not. Off the top of my head, I've been to 71 of Mississippi's 82 counties. The next closest is 39 of Alabama's 67 and 41 of Illinois' 102.

I have Pennsylvania clinched, as well as Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Delaware.

I expect there's a lot of overlap between this forum's users and those with accounts on the mob-rule county counting site.  Here's a link to my summary there:

http://www.mob-rule.com/cgi-bin/makeuser.cgi?user=terescoj

To answer the questions here, I have not been to all of the counties in either state where I have lived (57 of 64 in NY, 12 of 14 in MA).  But I have completed some easier ones: NH, CT, RI, DE, DC (if you count it), and one difficult one: FL.  My overall total stands at 1601 counties out of 3142.

I live in Delaware and this last Sunday I visited all three counties.

Checking mob-rule, it looks like the only other state I've seen all the counties in is Maryland.

the states in which I am missing counties are Alaska, Hawaii (the two tough ones, of course) and also a random slice of the midwest: Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma.

I've got Washington and Wyoming done, really close with Idaho and pretty close with Arizona

I have Tennessee and Kentucky fully clinched.  I lack 6 counties in Alabama, 12 in my new home state of South Carolina, 12 in Mississippi, 15 in Florida, and more in other states.  By the end of the year I should have SC finished off, and I'll make good progress with Georgia, though it could be years before I ever get it fully clinched.  Where I really need to get to is eastern North Carolina...

Not yet, but I'm working on it. :D I've been to all of the Metro Atlanta counties.


Be well,

Check out my YouTube page (http://youtube.com/Bryant5493). I have numerous road videos of Metro Atlanta and other areas in the Southeast.

I just signed up on photobucket -- here's my page (http://s594.photobucket.com/albums/tt24/Bryant5493).

I have clinched CT, RI, and DC.  Living in IL (76 of the 102). Used to live in WI (46 of 72) and MN (29 of 87). Most counties of a state not clinched is TX at 121 and highest % of a state without clinching is IL at 74.5%.

Only state I have completed is Delaware.  :-D
I'm 7 short for covering all the counties in Ohio
About 20 counties/parishes short in Pennsylvania, Louisiana & Mississippi each to complete them.

Even when I lived in the ATL, there's some places in the metro I never been to, like Henry, Fayette and Cherokee counties.

The strange thing with me is that I've been to 44 states but haven't clinched all the counties in any of them(except DC)-not even my home state of Nebraska. It's been awhile since I've tallied up my counties(I'm waiting after I take a trip this spring or summer), but I know the closest I am to clinching any state is Rhode Island(4 of 5). Unfortunately, I don't know that I'll get back to RI any time soon. I know based on previous times I've tallied them up that the state I have the highest percentage in is Missouri(95-100 of 115). I also know I've been to 18 of 23 in Wyoming.

Been to 76 of Oklahoma's 77 counties. Need to get Cherokee to clinch. Maybe this summer?

All I have completely finished is Connecticut (home state), Rhode Island, and Delaware (and DC, if you want to count that).

I have also been to every county in Massachusetts except one: Nantucket (pesky...). I've got 10 out of 14 for Vermont, and 17 out of 21 for New Jersey (which Tomorrow shall become 18 out of 21).

If you want to look at larger states with a more substantial number of counties, the state I have most completed is Pennsylvania (43 out of 67).
If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.

Check the "Where have I been?" link in my signature to see where I have been. I've clinched counties in NH, CT, NJ, RI and DE.

Well, I've clinched DC, but that doesn't really count.

As for actual states, Connecticut is the closest to being clinched (missing only Litchfield).  I'm also missing two each in Rhode Island (Bristol, Newport), Delaware (Kent, Sussex), and New Hampshire (Cheshire, Coos).

In my current state of residence, Maryland, I have 19 out of 24.  I still need Calvert, St. Mary's, Kent, Caroline, and Somerset.  I should realistically be able to finish Maryland and Delaware in two day trips.

In my state of birth, Georgia, I have 81 out of 159, including all of metro Atlanta except for Dawson, Paulding, and Heard.

meestersam

I've clinched IL, GA, and FL.  And have most of SC and OH.  Otherwise, it's pretty spread out. 

I'm pretty jealous of anyone who's got all of TX or AK.   :crazy:

Mts83

All of my home-state of NJ for me, as well as NY, DE, DC, CT, NH, and VT. States with 85% or greater include MD (22/24), MA (12/14), ME (15/16), and PA (62/67).

My county map can be seen here: http://www.mob-rule.com/counties/user-gifs/mts83.gif

I've only clinched DC, but I've been to most of the counties west of US-127 in lower Michigan (missing only Cass and St. Joseph).

I've been to 25 of 36 (~70%) in Oregon, mostly missing the southern coast and northeastern parts of the state.  Next most is in Washington, where I've been to 16 of 39 (~41%).

roadman65

Delaware I have been in every county.  Let me see how many of them are there?  Gee, that is a tough one LOL!  Of course if you drove all of US 13 or DE 1 you have been through New Castle, Kent, and Sussex.  I have been on all of US 13 south of Wilmington, so I declare I have this one clinched.   

As of 96 I have been to all 21 NJ counties.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

The most I have is 40 out of Illinois's 102 counties, about 39.2%. All of Chicagoland, most of the rest of northern Illinois, the Peoria area, and I-57.

The next highest percentage is Wisconsin, 24 counties, exactly a third of its 72.
