Well we did stop in Mexico and passed through the Panama Canal.

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!

Not looking for credit on the answer, just curious for future questions.

there is a large gap between submissions, I may allow more than one per person. I want to avoid someone just "shotgunning" answers.

it can be done with fewer states.

FL, AL, MS, LA, TX, NM, AZ, CA, OR, WA

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

Because you could go FL-GA-TN-KY-IN-MI and theb drive across Canada to get to WA

go through. You do not have to identify the roads within each state.
