15 ain't to shabby. I plan on seeing more.


22 for me. I guess I need to get busy!


Fourteen. Way too few. The mountains are calling and I must go.


15 of 58 in US but visited some of Canada's as well. Working on my short list of all 58 but have not retired yet. Each and everyone is a treasure.


27 -- check with me in a couple of weeks and it will go up to 29


We have been to 22, BUT have not been to Congaree, which is only about 55 miles from our home.


Kurt,I have had the great opportunity to visit all of them.It was on my bucket list.I thank God everyday for that. People ask all the time whats your favorite.My answer is all of them.They all have their own personality.Some may say only the rich can do this,I disagree it was using off seasons,driving to Alaska, looking for bargains,cruise to Hawaii and rented a car on the islands rather than the expensive tours.If it's in your heart to do it it can be done.


Eighteen if you count those I went to as a child, many years ago. Only 10 if you count only those I've been to as an adult. I hope to visit several more this summer.
