A Far Cry from Johnny Cash

It's been a little more than two years since I made a map showing how much of "everywhere" (according to the famous song by Johnny Cash) that I had been. As it turned out, I'd been to 33.7% of "everywhere". I've done a lot of traveling since then, so I was excited to update my map and add it to my Where I've Been page. 

In the 27 months since I wrote that blog post, I have traveled to:  

• Central Texas (April 2024)
• Utah (April 2024)
• 9 countries in Europe (July 2024)
• Southern California (January 2025)
• Denver (June 2025)
• New York (September 2025)
• New England and Canada (September 2025)
• Eastern Washington (October 2025)
• Las Vegas (January 2026)
• Arizona and New Mexico (April 2026)

In addition to those, I've also been to Idaho five times. I went on a girls trip to Disneyland with my mom, sister, and niece last November. Steve and I have visited several new-to-us locations in Northern California. Surely with all that travel, I've added a lot of destinations in my quest to go "everywhere"! 

Nope. 

I have added exactly two locations to my list: Buffalo and Winslow. That brings my grand total to 33 out of 91, or 36.2%. Sigh. 

Let's look at my map. 

Now compare it to Johnny's map and you can see what it will take to have been "everywhere." 

Actually, it will take even more than that, since I cropped the image tightly enough that you can't see most of South America, which has an additional five locations beyond what I showed. 

I want to make a single map that shows all of the "everywhere" locations and where I've been. It's on my to-do list. When I do, I'll post it on my Where I've Been page.
