Hi Roger, We were sent your info from Scotty and Fiddy, (hitch50.com) actually a few days before you met up with them on Sunday. They realized we have something in common with you after we sent them an email telling them to go to Cassettas for pizza in St. Paul a block from the capitol. We started taking pictures in front of the state signs on 7-13-99 and got our last of the 50 state signs on 5-14-03. And yes we are also from Minnesota. Our last state was Alaska in 2003. Like you we had 49 states under our belt before getting the last state a year and a half later.

I saw your site today on cool site of the day! I have to say that this site really is....cool! lol I like that you put some info about each state but it's not too much where it becomes boring. It's interesting information about each state san the pictures are awesome! I wonder if you ever plan on doing something like this with pictures from around the world? that would be neat too;)
Well anyway just wanted to say again how much I love your site. I'll be sure to bookmark it so I can watch for updates. :)
Take care and happy travels!

I happened upon your site while searching for info on Timms Hill (the highest point in Wisconsin). I puttered around for a second or two, then, as I had gotten my information, went to leave – then stopped. “This is a nifty cool site!” Most web pages are created by humans (ha ha, duh); being a human, I know that it’s nice to hear an encouraging word. So here it is: Cool site. Well done. I particularly enjoyed your personal trip photos. Okay, so that was more like encouraging phrases. But you get the idea.

I just spent 90 minutes viewing your Mn. photos. My deceased husband was born in Winona, Mn. on 3/16/28 and in our 45 years of marriage told me many tales of his childhood in Mn. He attended a one room schoolhouse, used buckets of snow to warm his feet after a long walk to school, said the state bird was the mosquito, knew Emil Liers, and had an Uncle Albert Niss who lived in Fairmont who was employed by New York Life Insurance CO. (their longest employee ever). My husband lived through whooping cough, the depression, but love Minnesota, except for the cold. His family sacrificed his brother at Iwa Jima, Harold Allen Wallace and barely survived the depression. We visited Mn. in August 1970 when we buried my husband's mother. It was the days of the Flower Child and we saw many young in the woods bombed out on marijuana. Mn. has so much history especially in the industrial production of world famous products (from Watkins to Green Giant, etc.). Thanks for your blog.
