I Suspect Most Of Us Are Not Average

14 for me.

 

[huntertrw]

I’ve been to 15 of them. What do I win?

Here's (the answer).

I've been to 18, if it counts that I didn't go up into the Space Needle, Washington Monument, or the Statue of Liberty. I really don't care for heights. I did go up into the Sear's Tower, but I froze to the wall, and my girlfriend at the time thought that she was going to have to get someone to force me back into the elevator. I also didn't care for teetering around on the rim of the Grand Canyon. I prefer to enjoy tall things from the ground.

Before retirement I was working in the AON building in Chicago and one of the building engineers asked if I wanted to see the roof top. Of course I do...there was no frickin' way I was going to the edge. The closest I made it to the edge was about 20'.

21 for me.

12 for me.

We need to all do a road trip!

If this involves everyone in a coach, good chance of toxic smoke inhalation syndrome by the end of the 1st day

Especially if @JimInks is on board

15 here......

That really is a pretty idiosyncratic list. I've been to 16 of them and would really like to add the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Zion some day.

10. Just because I live on east coast, and my father used to love going on road trips. Few with kids. Since I like road trips also, but now I'm in NC. But I consider north of Mason-Dixon line unsafe for the kids. I remember what I used to do in NY.

I stopped counting after six. I wonder what kind of average they're talking about. And as usual stats mean little without more context. I can't help but feel like they designed this (semi-honestly) with the intent of making both the semi traveled feel better about themselves and the less traveled too.

 

[AcesAndEights]

I got 7. Solid B- I’d say.

 

[sablebrush52]

21 of these, and a lot of others. I'd traveled all over the US, working on location. What was the basis for choosing these particular places?

 

[skeeter456]

Lol i only had 5

My law school professor reminded us in our first year that with absolute certainty he knew that 90% of us would not be in the top 10% of our class, so if that was our strategy for success we needed to rethink it.

He was right.

There’s a few on that list I haven’t visited. Yet. Still got some time on the clock hopefully so who knows!

I've been to 6 ... which is 6 more than @olkofri (he's only been to his cave and raiding the nearest campsite).

Haha I’ve been in the gift shops at the bottom of some of the worlds tallest structures. Um, no thank you, not gonna do it.

11. Never been to NY or the North East, but just about everywhere else. Hoping to go to London in March. Working on it.

 

[slowhand]

14. Does sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge Count? If so, 15.

 

[coming to_falling too]

Only 3 for me. Hope to do more traveling in the years to come
