I just did that on a Princess Cruise. Only states were Florida, Washington.
Well we did stop in Mexico and passed through the Panama Canal.

ding, ding, ding, correct!
Sorry for the delay. I encountered difficulty getting access to the site. You got both correct paths. Path 1: FL, GA, TN, MO, NE, WY, ID, WA; Path 2: FL, AL, TN, MO, NE, WY, ID, WA. The key was to include the two states (TN and MO) that each shares borders with 8 other states. That way you can get from GA or AL all of the way to NE in only four states!

That was not santafe's first answer.

Can we make only one guess, I thought we could make multiple guesses?
Not looking for credit on the answer, just curious for future questions.

lilhokie525 OP
I prefer one guess per person. I won't always stick to that rule. If
there is a large gap between submissions, I may allow more than one per person. I want to avoid someone just "shotgunning" answers.

Ok, good idea. Thanks

You are taking advantage of an obscure border (OK-CO), but
it can be done with fewer states.

technically you can't drive from NM directly into UT
The two states touch at Four Corners but there's no road connecting them there

Sure you can!
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!

You have the right idea, but it can be done with fewer states.

Do non-US states count?
Because you could go FL-GA-TN-KY-IN-MI and theb drive across Canada to get to WA

lilhokie525 OP
You must stay in the US.

lilhokie525 OP
Let me clarify. You just have to list the states that you would
go through. You do not have to identify the roads within each state.
