Title should explain everything. In case you don't know, I'm from a small state and I think I'm one of the younger members here (currently not driving age as of this post) but I've been a fan of geography ever since I was a child.
Limon and Breezewood should not be control cities!

Welcome from extreme western Connecticut! (grew up near Hartford, live in California now). The road bug bit me around age 7.

Lucky you; when you get your license, you can clinch your state in a weekend :-)

Welcome to the board!

I've loved roads and maps for as long as I can remember, so you're in good company here.

Welcome from a county the size of your state. I also joined (properly) as a teenager and have had no real issues here, other than cringing at some of my older posts.

Welcome.  I used to live in Massachusetts, though at this point it was probably before you were born.  The roadgeek bug bit me when I was about 6 or 7 years old.

You don't have to be a driver to attend a meetup!  Many folks carpool.  Consider attending one near you: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?board=21.0
Though, if I'd found this forum as a teenager, I bet I'd have had a VERY difficult time convincing my parents to let me attend a roadgeek meetup.  "Strangers from the Internet driving you around?  No way!"  Knowing that I was the type who asked for road maps for my birthday and Christmas, though, they might have let me.  *shrug*

I don't remember when I found this forum, but I attended my first roadgeek meetup in 2016.  I don't attend often as my wife has little interest in it and it's therefore difficult to do any meets that aren't local to me.
