the border of virginia and west virginia is...existing county lines?
You're close. those county lines mostly going across the top of the mountains, dividing one side of the mountain from the other.

if you zoom in on the texas-oklahoma border it would be so much simpler if the river decided the boundary, but no, there are all these weird little loops and oxbows that make everything confusing

that's the problem with using rivers as borders, the red river has changed course over the past century or but the border technically remains the same

i wonder if anyone being charged for a crime involving an illegal crossing of a river state border has ever used the "No one ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same person" defense

"In most US counties, Florence usually refers to Florence (Italy)."
Ha! I was talking to a travel agent last night about flying into Rome and asked if Florence was easier and he said "Well there are a lot of Florences"
― But who are we doing it versus? (sunny successor), Monday, 1 May 2023 18:22 (eleven months ago) link
I have been to Florence, Oregon and it has the advantage of actually being named Florence.
As opposed to the one in Italy.

level 54 I think, based on what I remember of travelling across the states 30 years ago, plus a couple of other trips.

I'm at 96, overwhelmingly from coastal visits/stays. I've only ever lived in two states: Missouri and Virginia.
― Pontius Pilates (Ye Mad Puffin), Saturday, 2 September 2023 19:02 (seven months ago) link
Level 129, although tbh I'm not sure of the difference between "Visited Here" and "Stayed Here." There are only a handful of states I haven't at least passed through, mainly West Virginia and most of New England.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Saturday, 2 September 2023 19:08 (seven months ago) link
i interpret “stayed” as stayed with friends or family and “visited” like you stayed there but you were a tourist in an airbnb or a hotel
― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 2 September 2023 19:14 (seven months ago) link
Yeah, that was pretty much how I applied it, although if it was like one night crashing with friends I usually put "visited." I camped in NC one night, put "visited."
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Saturday, 2 September 2023 19:16 (seven months ago) link

The whole "visited here / stayed here" thing threw me off too. I "stayed" in a motel room in Ohio once before continuing the drive into Kentucky the next day while I have "visited" Georgia, spending most of a day touring the Coca-Cola and Carter museums in Atlanta. Should Ohio be worth more points? I finally decided no.
Poor Maryland and Delaware the only states where I don't think my feet ever touched the ground. They're very easy to drive through.
I really need to hit the Northwest sometime.

129 or 113 depending on how the vist/stay is interpreted.
someday i need to fly into Memphis and drive a loop through ms, ar, ok, ks, and mo in one day and then to Boston to tick off the rest
