Fast to Fifty
Few people do the "cannonball-run" method to go to all 50, but most of us are intrigued by the idea of it! How fast can you actually go to all 50 states? No Grand Canyon. No Golden Gate Bridge. This is a gas stop and go!
THIS IS NOT A RACE, CONTEST, OR CHALLENGE. ALL PERSONS WHO VISIT UNDER 12 DAYS WILL BE LISTED HERE. ALL SPEED LIMITS ARE ASSUMED TO BE OBEYED AS NOT TO ENDANGER FELLOW TRAVELERS.
