Some examples of the quests I’ve finished:

  • Treasured Places (aka, every national park unit, national monument, and national conservation area in the US—likely still the only person to have visited all 484 of them)

  • World’s Largest Balls of Twine (four of ‘em!)

  • WWII Japanese Internment Camps (in US)

  • All the craft breweries in the US territories (and DC)

Some examples of quest I’m still working on:

  • Highest Points of Otherwise Flat States

  • Major sites of the Manhattan Project

  • Crossing each of the 107 borders between two US states

  • Every area that was once a National Park unit in the US

  • Visiting one site (birthplace, home, gravesite, etc) for each US President

  • 50 countries before I’m 50

  • Each of Phoenix’s “Points of Pride”

  • Scenic driving the 26 major paved passes over the Sierra Nevada Mountains

Here’s a more complete accounting, though it’s missing about 5-6 new quests I adopted last year 🫠
