We've been lucky enough to get to travel quite a bit this year and as a result have expanded the number of states where we've found letterboxes. This year, we've added Washington, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Michigan, bringing our state total to 16. Thanks to our recent trip to Michigan (and being stranded by Edoard for an extra day), we were able to find 18 boxes in Michigan.
So, here's our life list:
Texas
Alabama
Arizona
California
Colorado
Florida
Georgia
Kentucky
Louisiana
Michigan
Mississippi
Oklahoma
New Mexico
South Carolina
Tennessee
Washington
There are two states where it's kind of ridiculous that we haven't found boxes--Missouri and Arkansas. I have family in both, but when we were there for one reason or another we couldn't box. It's possible we may go home (my home, St. Louis) for Christmas, and if so, we'll be adding those two states.
Our total may not seem that huge to those of you on the Eastern shore, with the many states all close by. If we're driving west, it takes us nearly 800 miles to get out of Texas (100 miles going East and 350 miles going north). If you lived almost anywhere else in the country, with a range of 800 miles you could hit at least 10 states, but here it's all Texas. Maybe I should count the number of counties in Texas (there are 254) where we've found boxes.
So, dear blog readers....what's your state (and country) total for letterboxing finds? And perhaps what's your favorite letterboxing destination? Share your travel stories.

Even though Blue Butterfly and I live in TX, we found our first LB in Vicksburg, MS. It was planted by Corazon, a fellow TX letterboxer.

We've found most of our out-of-state boxes on travels to visit family. We are at 11.
Tennessee
Kentucky
Ohio
Virginia
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
Georgia

It is odd that in all the times we've passed through Delaware and Maryland we haven't stopped in either.
So how about adding some boxes north of the border!
Here's my list:

I soon hope to find some in Europe and maybe hide one or two as well.
