Check out a map of all the U.S. counties I’ve visited (mapping utility courtesy Marty O’Brien)
Check out the roads I’ve driven in various regions (about 286,000 miles worth, from Travel Mapping)

Over the 63 years I’ve been alive, I’ve traveled in all 48 contiguous United States (and the District of Columbia), and I've visited every county and county-equivalent (parish, independent city) in them. I have also reached a third of the equivalent jurisdictions in Alaska. (Sorry, no trips to Hawaii yet.) I’ve also been to Puerto Rico, all ten Canadian provinces, one Mexican state, and seven European countries.

Want to know how close I might have come to your home town? If you’re in the United States, select your state and I’ll show you a list of the counties I’ve traveled in, complete with the last day I was there. I’ll also show a few facts about your state, and tell you some of my favorite places I’ve visited there.

Note: Population data on the individual pages is “resident population” as reported in the decennial U.S. Census. Land area is from the Rand McNally Road Atlas.

Notes:
1. Alaska has no counties; however, it is divided into 30 census districts (boroughs, which do have administrative function, and census areas).
2. The District of Columbia, not part of any state, is considered its own county for these totals.
3. Louisiana has parishes, which are statistically equivalent to counties.
4. One independent city (not part of any county) included in totals.
5. 38 independent cities (not part of any county) included in totals.
6. Independent city (not part of any county).
7. In 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau began to recognize nine Connecticut planning regions in lieu of the eight historic counties, which no longer have administrative function. I have visited all 169 Connecticut towns.
8. Rhode Island counties no longer have administrative function, but they are still recognized by the U.S. Census Bureau. I have visited all 39 Rhode Island towns.
9. Census area.
