"States Visited" map

[Jim and Chris Neuman]

What are the protocols regarding states / provinces visited maps?

I could color in every state except Rhode Island if the requirement is just to have visited at some point in my life.  Do you have to visit in your current RV or can previous RV's (or even car camping) be counted.   Must the visit be vacation related?   Somehow work related visits don't seem kosher.  For safety's sake, I would think only states visited with your current mate should be shown but others may be less risk adverse.   Not a large question in the scheme of things but I am curious what others do.

I only include if I have stayed overnight  - in my Oliver- for all reasons.

Same here.  The map is on our Oliver (inside front door), so when we’ve spent a night camping in a state in our Oliver then we fill it in.  Just passing through doesn’t count.  Spending the night in a Hampton Inn some other time doesn’t count either.

Well, the map is really for you to feel good about. There are no "rules" so color yours in however you like. I have passed through about 40% of the lower 48 with "Mouse" but I don't feel a need to post a map. Do whatever strikes your fancy.

I prefer to collect pretty park stickers from places we especially enjoyed - the kind they sell in visitor center gift shops - and the best ones go onto the pantry door. Like this:

Darn it JD.

And all the while I thought it was about following the rules, my rules, and that always strikes my fancy. I actually am in arrears on my map - oh the horrors - 

However - I feel great .
