Travel-Trip-All 50 States

This August 2005 file photo shows a boy touching four border states, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado at Four Corners National Monument. Visiting all 50 states is a popular goal among some travelers, though criteria vary as to what "counts" for crossing a place off your list. At Four Corners Monument, tourists often crouch on the marker where Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado intersect so they can be photographed with a hand or foot simultaneously in each of the four states,as Nathaniel Harpaz is doing in this 2006 photo.

This undated photo provided by Luke Anderson shows Anderson in Alma, Ark., the 31st state he visited. Anderson, who has now visited a total of 39 states, is on a quest to play disc golf _ where you toss a Frisbee-like disc into an elevated basket _ in all 50 states. The quirky landmark in Alma was seen from a disc golf course there.
