It took us a while, but we finally got the map of the US with all the little stickers of each state to put on as you visit them. We didn't get it until we were in South Carolina, and didn't put it on until Florida, but it is up. Proudly displaying all of the states that we have visited.
I don't know how other RVers do it, but we do not take this sticker placement lightly. We do not put a stick up until we feel we have "experienced" a state. We don't just slap them up any time we cross a state line.
Sometimes this has brought us a little challenge. We will occasionally review the activities we did while in a particular state to make sure that we got the true feel for the state. In Florida it was easy, Everglades, Keyes and gators. The same could be said for our current state Louisiana. I've eaten gumbo, jambalaya, and drank beer in the French Quarter. So it will be easy to hang those stickers with pride.
However, there are some states that we feel like maybe, by our standards we have not quite "experienced". Delaware was a challenge, we tried for a couple days to find an event to go to, or a certain place to visit. If it had not been for the Horseshoe crabs on Slaughter Beach, we may not have been able to post that sticker. The weather and schedule did not allow us to ride a river boat in Mississippi, but we did walk along the river, drive the Natchez Trace and take in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in Natchez.
I guess the important thing behind each of those stickers is the memories that we have from those states, and the RV that took us there.
