Can You Name All 50 States in 10 Minutes

I missed Illinois, North Carolina, Oklahoma. I had the States song going though my head, but it quit about 3/4 of the way though.

I can't believe I missed Rhode Island..........

I've been to every state but five on various road trips so for me it wasn't so much an exercise in remembering the states as remembering the trips.

Olympic soccer, 1992 - Washington, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illionois, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Massachussetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut (which I forgot), New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Pennsylvania again, Ohio, Indiana again, Illinois again, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Oregon, Washington again.

Retrieve Lani, 1998 - Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington

6-week Sabbatical, 2004 - California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California.

Walt's 100th birthday in Marceline, 2001

etc....

It's all in the mnemonics.
