All totaled up I went through and stopped in the majority of a total of 15 states.
Going there (cities I stopped in):
Michigan - Detroit
Indiana - Kalamazo
Illinois - Chicago
Iowa - Des Moines and Davenport
Nebraska - Omaha and Grand Island
Colorado - Denver
Wyoming - Cheyenne and Rock Springs
Utah - Salt Lake
Idaho - Twin Falls and Boise (where I got off the bus).
On the way back I ended up seeing in addition to a few above:
Kansas - Colby and Salina
Missouri - Kansas City and St Louis
Indiana - Indianapolis
Ohio - Dayton and Toledo
I think thats it, I ended up in too many places to count. I count 12 states.

Dimitri...You were around 300 miles from Ava. I'm in southern Miser...Missouri.
You are correct 1895zz...I would have had to give it some thought...Don't want any of my floors to have a broken white stripe runnin' over them...
So far all of you are welcome here (for at least a beer and a boot)...

Bushy,
Ok I got NO idea where Ava is in Missouri was just a guess.
What I do know is that I am glad I was not driving on this trip and enjoyed the thousands of miles of senery. Some of it made me hungry, like looking at all the Black Angus cows in the west and all the corn in the central states.

None here right now either. In fact for the three years I've been here I really haven't been bothered by an mosquitos. Just Chiggers and ticks...
