My name is Bill and I am from Ohio. I am almost 20 years old, and I am a sophomore in college. I saw your page and it looked wonderful. I myself am interested in creating a similar one. Before I saw the page, one of my goals is to hit all 50 states; I even thought about getting to every high point. So far I have seen 29 states, and I have several pictures of state welcome signs (Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, Utah, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and California to name a few). My best friend and I are planning on driving across the United States in the summer of 2003. We cannot wait. Email me back and tell me if I should create a similar one about my travels. Good luck on your highpointing by the way. Fabulous page,

found your webpage through the highpointers forum. Awesome pictures throughout. Since 1991 we been going to State Capitols and Presidential Sites. We've been to 41 states, 38 Capitols and 29 Presidents Graves and numerous houses.

We been doing highpoints since 1992 -- up to 28 on those.

I wish I knew how to do webpages -- would love to do one similar to yours to share our travel adventures. I have a map of the US in my room with all our trips outlined. Also bought map pins of different colors to point out all the landmarks we been to.

Very interesting site. There was an article in this morning's newspaper (St Louis Post-Dispatch 1-20-02) that highlighted your website. I had to go see it for myself. Someday maybe I will get to all of the states, too (I am up to 44.) I've gone way out of my way just to get a new state, and apparently from the look of your map, you have to. But when that is the point of the trip it all does make sense. I guess people who track their trips counting all the states have tended to be a little weird. I am glad to be a part of that group. Your website is a fine tribute to this endeavor.

Hi Roger, My name is Tony Sinatra from Pittsburgh, PA. I'm 33 years old and for the past 13 years have been saving welcome signs myself. I have 33 states, Ontario, and a "Welcome to the United States". My collection of pictures is one of my most prized possessions! It was exciting to compare the signs we have in common and to "relive" the memories associated with each sign! THANK YOU!

Hi! I almost flipped when I saw where your first picture was taken because the first road welcome sign picture I have is of Iowa! It was three summers ago and of the OM team I was going to the worlds competition at the University of Iowa. Then it was just a one picture deal, but this June my friend and I decided to take pictures of all the welcome signs we can. (This was before I had ever seen your page.) So far this summer we took one in Indiana and in Michigan on the way to the Warren Sand Dunes in Michigan. Next week we will be taking ones on the way to the beach in Georgia. I know it's only a few but a start for my collection. There are still many more road trips to come! Well I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed your page and how excited I was to see all the pictures on it!

Great Job! Thoroughly enjoyed your photos, I think I'll start my own collection now! Best of luck with the film.

Ok, I don't get to travel much, but this weekend I am helping my brother -in-law by going with him to Philadelphia from Huntsville, Alabama. I don't know what the cool roadside attractions that are good photo spots are. You know, giant fiberglass chicken type stuff...... I searched the internet for roadside attractions in TN, VA, and PA, but don't get much. After seeing your site, I think I'll get Tom to take pics of me at the state lines. I'll get TN, VA, West V, Del, and PA. And if we do it right we may get DC.

I came across your web page and thought it was great, especially the money the US spent on their sign:-) I am however interested in viewing small town welcome signs do you know a good web page for that? It is to bad that Jay Leno did not put you on! I got on his Monday night Headlines for the Clifton Bed Races it was the talk in this small town of 1400 for awhile. Thanks for your time.

I think these pictures are quit an accomplishment. It is something that I had envisioned doing as well but have never gotten around to doing.

P. S. I have been to the Geographic center of North America in Rugby. It is quite an out of the way place
