Have you been to all of the states or provinces that border the one where you live?

Inspired by this question: https://answermug.com/forums/topic/138126/does-your-state-have-a-state-food/

I’ve been to North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming but not Montana.

Edit: In addition to states or provinces, I also meant to include any territories or other first-level subnational divisions that border the one where you live.

Edit: Including water borders is optional.  I’m not going to be that picky.

    There is only one province that borders mine (Alberta) and I have visited it as well as lived there. Cheers!

    Cool.  Have you been to Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Yukon or Northwest Territories?  (I know YT and NT are territories and not provinces, but I had those in mind also when I asked this, so I should probably edit this question to reflect that.)

    In 1999 I went to Seattle for the WTO protest. I took lots of photos but the cops broke my camera so all I have to remember the trip is a dent in my head. Cheers and happy weekend!

    I haven’t been to Seattle, but if a dent in my head and a broken camera from the police were my only souvenir, the only time I’d ever go back would probably be to see an attorney.

    No.  Just 1 - Nevada.  Arizona and Oregon will have to wait.

    No.  The closest I ever got to be border was a little less than a mile, during the time I vacationed in National City.

    Is Michigan that forgettable? This post was edited by Livvie at July 15, 2022 1:25 PM MDT

    Don’t feel bad.  Jaimie forgot about Michigan too.  If you count Minnesota’s border with Michigan in Lake Superior, then Jane’s not showing any love for Michigan either.

      Arizona and Nevada, yes. Oregon, no.


    EDIT:
    Livvie has graciously pointed out in question form that I neglected to include my south-of-the-border neighbor; Baja California. I have been there also.

    Oh, sorry, Michigan.  You’re not getting any love from your neighbors today.  They’re forgetting all about you.

    Lol :) to be honest I only thought of Quebec, Manitoba, New York and Pennsylvania. I only addEd Minnesota and Ohio because I saw Jane and Element had Ontario in there answers, so Michigan shouldn’t feel so bad :) I’m even worse with geography than grammar.
