TBN "Celebrate Forty-Eight" Club

I'm sure you didn't eat all four of those pieces of Carlos' pie or you would be in a coma due to your elevated blood sugar.

That's a heck of a way to celebrate though. Plans are still for you to come back through OK on Monday?

I take it this is a celebration for completing the 48?

I'm not worried about a second time around, just glad we made it the first time around. 16 years ago when we got this car we never dreamed that we would have had it in all lower 48 states and 4 Canadian Providences. I'm a happy camper...……...or hotel stayer, lots of hotel points.Retirement is great.

I agree with you Spence. One of the best moves I made in preparation for retirement was to buy my first Retro. One other was going on my first road trip with TBN and the friendships that developed from that beginning. Retirement would not be nearly as enjoyable had this not happened.

15AGAIN has all but Rhode Island, it has been to Washington and Oregon two times. Do not think I will get Rhode Island so 2nd time around will not happen

I knew that, had a brain freeze.

Never say never, Bill!

No matter when. Twice is twice.

If we had been in the other 48 as often as we have been in Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia we'd be on about the 15th time around.

Does one of yours have a significant number of double visits?

DavidA/Jeannie and Bill only need Rhode Island, Oregon and Washington for the second 48.

Several are in the double digits for twice or more. Even the Merlot has ten twice.

Question: When does the count on the second trip around the 48 states start? Do you have to complete the 48 first and then start or can you count states that you have been to twice no matter when?

Lets make it official......on Oct 7th, at 8:45 am, our Merlot (aka Wino) crossed the state line into Michigan, making the 48th state.
Would have posted sooner, we didn't get home until the 10th, only to find some electrical problems thanks to my namesake Michael.
Pappasitos in Feb sound good.

Congratulations Mike and Debbie. Sorry I got the Facebook posting wrong as I read that New Jersey was your last state, my mistake sorry.

Congratulations, looking forward to Pappasitos.

Congrats to Mike and Debbie! Unless they are in a hurry, perhaps we can plan on presenting them with their plaque at Pappasitos in February.

We will be in Miami OK on 22nd, how about burgers at KU-KU Burgers ? Most likely dinner as we are coming up on parts of Rt 66.

Paul, Let me know what you set up with Mistyeyed829 for the 22nd and I will try to join you.
