I like the categories froggie used.

Been in, including visits where you never left the vehicle or landed plane: 38 plus DC (ME, NH, VT, MA, RI, CT, NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, WV, VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, MS, LA, TN, KY, OH, IN, MI, MN, IL, MO, TX, AR, NM, CO, AZ, UT, WY, ID, AK, HI); 7 Canadian provinces (NL, NS, PE, NB, QC, ON, BC)
Set foot in, including airport only visits: Same as above.
Set foot in, excluding airport only visits: Same as above.
Set foot in, excluding clinch motivated border crossings with less than a mile of penetration: Same as above.
Spent the night in: 34, DC not included (from list above, delete RI, DE, MS, and AR); 7 Canadian provinces (same as above)
Spent more than one night in a row in: 31, DC not included (same as "spent the night in" except delete CT, KY, and UT); 7 Canadian provinces (same as above)
Driven a vehicle in: 30 plus DC (from original list, delete VT, RI, MI, MN, TX, AR, ID, and AK); 3 Canadian provinces (NS, QC, ON)
Driven my own (or an immediate family member's) vehicle in: 30 plus DC (rode with parents in VT, RI, MI, TX, and AR; rode with a friend in ID, he was driving a rental; rode only in cabs or buses, including hotel shuttles, in MN and AK); 3 Canadian provinces (NS, QC, ON)
Driven a rental car in: I believe 9 (PA, FL, TN, NM, CO, UT, AZ, WY, HI) No Canadian provinces.
Ridden a plane in (landing or taking off only): 19 (FL, GA, NC, VA, MD, PA, NJ, NY, MA, OH, IL, MN, ID, CO, TX, NM, AZ, AK, HI)–we also rode a floatplane in Alaska; one Canadian province (BC)
Ridden a helicopter in: 2 (AK and HI); no Canadian provinces
Ridden a train in: Excluding mass transit, 12 plus DC (FL, GA, SC, NC, VA, MD, DE, PA, NJ, NY, CO, and AK) and one Canadian province (ON). Counting mass transit adds three more states (MA, OH, IL) and two other Canadian provinces (QC and BC). Thankfully, riding Amtrak's Auto Train to and from Florida, and the Miami Metrorail on a football trip some years back, means I don't have to decide whether to count the Disney World Monorail.
Ridden a moving boat in: 12 plus DC (ME, NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, VA, NC, FL, AL, IL, AK); 7 Canadian provinces (NL, NS, PE, NB, QC, ON all involved ferries, although PE also a kayak; BC via a cruise ship and a water taxi in Vancouver)
Been on a boat in: 14 plus DC (same as immediately above plus MA and LA); 7 Canadian provinces (same as above)
Ridden a roller coaster in: I believe 5 (GA, VA, MD, PA, and NY); no Canadian provinces
Walked or biked across the border of: I can think of seven plus DC (VA, MD, WY, NM, AZ, CO, UT). Colorado is on there both for the WY—CO state line when we stopped to take pictures and for Four Corners, where I did the "stand in four states at once" thing. No Canadian provinces to my knowledge.
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

How many U.S. States have you...

Been in, including visits where you never left the vehicle or landed plane

43 (plus DC) - all but AK, HI, ID, MT, MD, SD, NE

Set foot in, including airport only visits

I am a fervent airport-clinch denier, but my answer would be the same regardless.

Set foot in, excluding airport only visits

Same as above.

Set foot in, excluding clinch motivated border crossings with less than a mile of penetration

Same as above (though I guess Kansas is sort of close to violating this - I followed Route 66 through that little corner of Kansas it cuts through, but that was more motivated by following Route 66 than the fact that it could technically clinch Kansas for me. And it's 11 miles, anyway).

Spent the night in

36 - from the above group, losing AL, IA, KS, MS, OK, RI, VT

Spent more than one night in a row in

23 - from that group, losing AR, AZ, CT, FL, IN, MI, MO, NC, NH, NV, SC, UT, WI

11 (plus DC) - non-local/regional transit only (basically the Amtrak Capitol Limited+Empire Builder as far as the Twin Cities, NE Corridor, Keystone, and Hiawatha - DE, IL, IN, MD, MN, NJ, NY, PA, OH, WI, WV)
17 - including local/regional transit (adding CA, MA, MO, OR, RI, VA)

Ridden a moving boat in

9 - PA, NJ, MD (various personal pleasure craft), DE (Lewes Ferry), NY (Maid of the Mist/Staten Island Ferry), MA (Boston Harbor Taxis), FL (Wakulla Springs tour boat), VA (Alexandria-Georgetown shuttle), WA (Port Angeles-Victoria BC ferry)

Been on a boat in

Ridden a roller coaster in

5 - PA (Kennywood, Idlewild), OH (Cedar Point, Geauga Lake), NJ (Wildwood boardwalk), MN (Valleyfair!, MN State Fair), MD (Montgomery Co Fair)

After some serious soul and memory searching I find I made a couple of minor mistakes when I posted my list back in 2015, to wit:


Set foot in, including airport only visits
26
(see above)

Set foot in, excluding airport only visits
26
(see above)

Set foot in, excluding clinch motivated border crossings with less than a mile of penetration
26
(see above)

All 3 of these should be 25, as DE was always just a speed bump while travelling between NC and NJ and back.

Been on a boat in
2
(NC,NY)

This should be 3. I completely forgot about the fact that my Aunt Joyce's second wedding was on a boat anchored in the Hudson River on the NJ side circa 1984. They lived in Teaneck, and the boat wasn't very far from there. I seem to remember this as a boat that specialized in these large party type gatherings like weddings and I almost want to say it was permanently anchored, but don't hold me to that.

Thank you to those who vertically compressed their replies by removing all the extra blank lines!

I have been to (26) states, and have spent night(s) in a slim majority of them (14/26).

I've been to/through (12) states and NOT spent a night:
MA, CT, RI, VT, DE, VA, WV, KY, IN, WI, IA, CO*
*I actually set foot on the ground, outside, at DIA, so I'm counting it as "visited".

There are (11) states in which I've spent multiple consecutive nights:
NY, PA, MD, TN, OH, MI, MN, ND, MT, TX, CA.

Which leaves just (3) states in which I've only spent a single night (consecutively, not in total):
NJ, IL, SD

Heh.  Oscar has two different answers for "been on a boat."

Just following the OP, which has two different questions for "been on a boat"':

Quote
Ridden a moving boat in

Been on a boat in

The latter includes stationary boats, like the Queen Mary docked in Long Beach CA, and the U.S.S. Missouri in the Pearl Harbor naval base. In both CA and HI, I've been on both moving boats (auto and/or passenger ferries) and stationary boats. There is no state or other jurisdiction where I've been on only stationary boats.
