This will have been drawn from the work of Erin Reed Though its worth noting her only firm, DO NOT TRAVEL, so far, is florida. Though the rest are of course still dangerous.

Let's be honest: Is there anything worth visiting in those missing states, anyway? Sure, Disney World is in Florida, but have you ever been to Florida? It sucks. Hot and humid as shit. Rains every single day at about 5pm. Gators and Floridians everywhere... Even the magic of Disney doesn't outweigh all that.
Cajun food is great. Basically, southern food in general is good. You can't get boiled peanuts up north. Besides food? Not really.
Eh Maryland, and Baltimore in particular has everything from grits to chowders. If you're thinking about a crawfish boil/stew/gumbo, they have those too, and the superior crab version.
Canned or fresh? Because I can buy them canned. I wouldn't but the option is there!
But I do agree the food is good. Southern and Cajun both. Also Creole.
Do you know how easy it is making boiled peanuts?
Its literally just peanuts boiled in salty water forever
Super easy in a slowcooker or even a regular pot
You can have them whenever and wherever you want
Minnesota State fair. Boiled peanuts were added in 2022.
Next?
But then you have to be in the Midwest…
Well, but you have an international airport close by, a major mall, rent's in the mail, and you can always find a parking space. Women out number the men two to one and there's parks and zoos and.... Shhh.
southern bbq
I mean.. Dave Anderson's Old Southern BBQ is called southern... Won some awards.
To be fair, I have only had BBQ in Texas and Memphis, so grain of salt.

Else you have black market st. Paul - wouldn't call it "southern" when it's -10 degrees and they are smoking up some pork, but damn good smoked BBQ.

my buddys been to an old southern bbq restaurant a handful of times. he says its either the best bbq youve ever had or the driest shit on earth 😂 and its not even a different location
Yeah Famous Dave seems to have lost a step since he sold his namesake...
Wyoming and Montana have absolutely amazing mountains. I say that as someone who lives in the third best mountains state. They have mountains as good as ours but without as many people in them.
Alaska is simply amazing, one of the best places I’ve ever been in the summer. I can’t wait to go again.
Otherwise nah fuck that shit
Friends and Family?
There's Disney California.
it's the better one given how shit FL is these days and they don't got a Disney California Adventure Park either
Parks. Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, the Everglades, that sort of thing. Some truly spectacular nature.
National parks in many of them.
Yeah, Utah has Arches, Canyonlands, Zion; Wyoming has Yellowstone and Devil's Tower, Montana has Glacier... And I know I'm leaving out a ton. I hate Utah's theocracy, but the landscapes are mesmerizing. Everyone should get to see those wonders without fearing a lynching.
