States Map Protocol

If you can't see my map, no worry...............

Haven't got the map yet, DW and I can't agree on what to put on it. Thought we might just cut out the area of the state we actually were in, that might start some conversation.

If I were to have a map, it would be states we camped in. But that would just be my preference. Honestly, I don't think people really care where we've been or where we are going. Unless they follow us on our website or YouTube channel. But even then, it's few and far in between...lol

We only fill in the states we have camped in. I wish the Canadian provinces were not so large as we have camped in three of them. Did not plan for Canada when we located the map, We would have to cover much of a window.
Drive thru states, we have been in all but three.

I saw someone's last year and he had Hawaii on his. I asked him how he camped in Hawaii and he responded that not all of his visited states were places he had taken his RV. Several of the visited states on his RV were places he had flown to. That didn't make much sense to me. Why put it on the camper if you don't take your camper there?
To each their own.
Happy camping!

We've camped in Hawaii. When stationed there we camped in a tent quite a few nights. Who would think that a person could actually camp in a tent and not an RV?!! A tent. What an novel camping idea! Next thing you know people will be cooking outside over a fire and claim that's dining out.

I have decided not to put any stickers on plain map outline. I think this will be the best for me as there seem to me too many rules. Thanks for the input as I am sure this will start many conversations as well.

I don't have a map yet, but I plan on putting the states I have stayed in, and I want to add little starts or dots to the location of the campgrounds. I live in Arizona, but stay in California mostly.

You know after giving this more thought, I think you should go ahead and stick every state on it as a conversation starter.

Do whatever makes YOU smile when YOU look at that map.

Decades ago I was keeping a tally on states visited on business trips. At 100+ travel days a year, they stopped making me smile. Even though a lot of the fun wore off, I still made some border-runs with the purpose of increasing the tally. Very thoughtful of Southern Wisconsin to put an outlet mall that close to Chicago.

The Federal Recreational Vehicle State Map Sticker Commission (hereinafter referred to as the "FRVSMSC") requires, under penalty of law, that no sticker be placed "on, near, or proximately" to any map "purporting to be that of the United States of America", unless the driver of the vehicle in question has stayed at least 3 hours in said state, not counting travel time through the state.
The FRVSMSC police are vigilant about enforcing this, and they are everywhere.
You have been warned.
