Anyone done the Johnny Cash "I've been everywhere man" route?

Cool. That means I'm farther along on the list than I thought!

Michael, if you get a good route out of that long list, you should share it with us. It might make a good challenge. Heck, it's going to be a challenge to me to just get to all those real places once in my life. LOL

Turns out, there is an entire site dedicated to folks trying to get to all of these places. Here is a sample from a couple of these intrepid roadtrippers!

I knew there had to be people (besides Johnny Cash) that have done this already!

And I've only been to 17. :(

21 for me, 22 if he means Waterloo, California instead of Waterloo, Iowa, still more than I thought initially.

At first count, 21 of these - but which Springfield is that ;-)
We usually come up with our own list of obscure places we've been when we try to sing along.

The count is more or less 43 for me...He should've add the State/Province for each city so we'd be sure!

That was an impressive amount of Web sleuthing you did for us! Maybe it's time for you to host another special election someplace?

Bangor's another popular one found in:

Maine
Alabama
California
Michigan
New York
Pennsylvania
Washington
Wisconsin

Not to mention several others in Canada, Australia, the UK and a bunch of townships in other states.

I'm sure there are a few others mulit-state cities in there too. For example, I haven't been to Houston, Texas, but I have been to Houston, Minnesota.

Some of the places listed are spelled incorrectly.

"Chadanocka" = Chatanika, AK
"Tollaperson" = Tallapoosa, GA or MO
"Mattua" = Mattawa, WA

Here are the (more) correct lyrics if anyone wants to refer to them.

EDIT: I noticed one of the places was Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan. So I guess you need to come up to my province!
