Summary:
This has been floating around the geoblogs world and I thought I would fill it out. The geo-sites meme... Ok and I still have a large number of states I haven't been to, and most of the sites I have visited it has been YEARS since I have gone. My total is 7/101. But I have been living in the non contiguous US for a while now and I can't just go on road trips! I wish I could though, there is so much to see and so little time!1. Wetumpka Crater, Alabama2.
