Washington

This patriotic little bear's name is Washington.  He would like to travel around and see each of the United States and Washington D.C.  I don't mind if he goes international a little, too, but please DO NOT leave him outside of the U.S.A.

To make it easier, I'm going to try to keep an updated list of the states here.  I'll cross out the ones he's been to, so you don't have to scroll through the logs.  I've included D.C., too, since it's kind of its own place.  If you can, a photo in each state would be great.  I don't care how much he travels within each state, but I would love for him to get to all 50 states as quickly as possible.  If you're headed on a tour of the states, I don't mind if you hang onto him a little while.  I'm starting him with a sheet in his bag, too, with a states checklist. 

Alabama - Alaska - Arizona - Arkansas - California - Colorado - Connecticut - Delaware  - Florida - Georgia - Hawaii - Idaho - Illinois - Indiana - Iowa - Kansas - Kentucky - Louisiana - Maine - Maryland - Massachusetts - Michigan - Minnesota - Mississippi - Missouri - Montana - Nebraska - Nevada - New Hampshire - New Jersey - New Mexico - New York - North Carolina - North Dakota - Ohio - Oklahoma - Oregon - Pennsylvania - Rhode Island - South Carolina - South Dakota - Tennessee - Texas - Utah - Vermont - Virginia - Washington - Washington D.C. - West Virginia - ­Wisconsin - Wyoming

If you are holding Washington, and know a cacher who is heading to Alaska or Hawaii, please pass him along, but tell them NOT to leave him there.  Thanks to all who have helped Washington along his journey so far.  We're almost there after just over 12 years!
