Ugliest State

“Bluebelch got me thinking. Even though the coins are pretty ugly, what about the states they represent? There's gotta be REALLY ugly states? Any votes?”

“I've heard New Jersey's pretty ugly.”

“I've heard New Jersey's pretty ugly.”

“State of Shock...Confusion...Denial?”

“State of Myth.”

“New been there there but I hear Kansas is pretty ugly. All flat with nothing but farm land. BORING!”

“I thought New Jersey was quite beautiful. Very green and lush for the most part. Atlantic City has its problems.

Nevada is pretty barren for the most part. I've driven over most of it, and the Jarbige mountains are about the only redeeming portion

Most of Wyoming is pretty much a waste, however the Windrivers and the national parks more than make up for it.

So far, I guess Nebraska is by far the most boring state I've ever driven border to border. But I'd have to guess that even it has it's beauty if you look close enough. On the opposite note, I think Utah is by far the most diverse state I've even explored.”

“They don't call New Jersey the Garden State for nothing.

I've been through almost every state in the lower 48 and I can't say that I've seen an ugly one.”

“North Dakota”

“Kansas is not all flat, the east part has nice rolling hills.

If you'd ever seen a lightning storm in Kansas you wouldn't think it was ugly.”

“I would have to say Florida. Everything is old there.”

“The state of denial!


”

“The state of denial, damn it! My html is broke today for some reason!

  

”

“Actually, very little of KS is flat. It's grassland and farmland - expanse. There are few trees except around rivers, creeks, and draws. From some hilltops, one can see forever - hence the perception of flatness. I think it's a gorgeous state.

The Sand Hills of NE are way cool. The Badlands, too.

Eastern WY ain't mountainous like the west, but the seemingly endless grasslands are a sight to behold.

NV is hot, treeless, and mountainous. Awesome.

God Bless America!”

“Why? Does America need God's blessing? I ould think that there are much more needy countries not to mention a few more deserving ones.”

“God bless you G.S.”

“LOL!”

“I've seen parts of some states that were pretty ugly, but never the whole state.”

“Every state has it's beauty spots, as well as not-so-beautiful spots, IMO.

GS - Eat a booger.”

“I have many relatives in Kansas. It is not boring at all. It has many beautiful areas. I agree I think all states have their ugly sides, but they all have greeat beauty too. Also I think Gods blessing is on the whole world, its just a matter of perspective.”

“Iowa”

“Yes, Kansas is, hands down, the ugliest state in the USA. Please do not come here. It will only revolt you to the point of physical illness. Stay away!
Completely flat, no trees at all, 110 degrees from May 1 to Oct 1, and -20 the rest of the time.
I warned you....”

“And lots of twisters I hear.”

“I'm spinning as I type!!!!!”

“Geer Sludge -
Did you eet them boogers yet?
Was they good suppers?

Boogers are perty good suppers I gess but not good as kittykitty doodoos.


I theenk Abalama is the perty place and Wyodaho and New Texico and Upaw and You Pee and Flowerda and Tucky and Collie Raddo and Louise'n Anna and prolly ever wher els I been like Mountin Anna and Minny Consin.

“Georgia, one butt ugly MFing state.”

“BOL!
O-:3”

“GS: Cuzzz it dun sneezed y'idjit!”

“#1 Kansas
#2 South Carolina”

“NJ is very majestic, whether it be the NYC sky line (not a joke, even with it lackin 2 toweres it is still a marvale) or the mountain sides. This is a great state.”

“Don't forget the beaches Tea.”

“The guy posting as me earlier is most likely Spock. Please be sure to look if my name has an O or a 0 in it to tell whether it is me or Spock. If it is an O, it is me.”

“Georgia?
Hmmmmm...
I must've missed it.

I've done five cross-country roadtrips totaling 34,000 miles and can't recall many places prettier than the drive through the Piedmont along Hwy 11.

Or the quaint squares and row houses of Savannah.

Or the drive between Dahlonega and Morganton along Hwy 60.

Or the old streets lined with Antebellum homes in Monroe, Thomasville, Milledgeville, and Macon.

Or the oh-so-slightly rolling hills of the farmland along Hwy 33.

Or the dead flat roads through piney woods of the Coastal Plain around The Okee-fe-noke.

Or...
well - you get the idea.”

“Thanks for the heads-up, O.”

“I've always felt that sunsets were much better in flatland states like those in the midwest. And the stars are much more brilliant without the glare of the populations.

States like Kansas are the canvas on which the majesty of the universe is painted.”

“kali ,south of yuba city and west of I-5 ,looks like an extension of lost angles..clear down to the guatemalun border,wish it would all slide into the ocean..ugly doesn't cover it.”

“I LOVE to get off the main drag in the plains. I drove 100+ miles of dirt roads in KS one day.”

“I started life in Kansas and I still have lots of family there. I`m torn about that being the ugliest place on Earth, or raw beauty in motion.

Have you ever stood in a gloden wheat field and looked out as far as the eye can see and watched the wave action of the grain tops flowing in the blowing winds of a Kansas sunrise? Mile after mile of nothing but things growing in well placed rows can catch and hold your eye as few things can. Kansas is different alright, but on a crisp fall day with bird dogs in the corn, or milo stubble and pheasents on the wing has it`s own magic.

A few mountains and a scattering of large trees would make walking across Kansas worth the effort.

I sure love to hate that place I love!”

“Illinois 'cause of all of the corn fields.
Southern Ill. is reallynice though.”

“Not too impressed with Texas..”

“Have to agree with bluebelch and gearslut. Lived in Iowa for a year that seemed a lifetime. Saw every mile marker across North Dakota on the inner-state. And when I got off for a night a "micro-burst" stole my tent during supper.”

“There are no thoroughly ugly states. But I submit that Texas has MORE ugly than any other. I have to drive through ugly most of the day to get out of here!

But I also have some painful childhood memories of driving across Kansas.”

“i don't know about UGLY, but ohio must have SOMETHING wrong with it. half the state has moved to atlanta! what's with THAT?”

“I nominate the Houston Ship Channel as the ugliest place in the US.

But it makes the Piney Woods, Hill Country and Big Bend look so much better.”

“You guys really need to see North Dakota. It's a challenge to stay awake there.”

“I'm with Dunadan... Kansas, no way! Nebraska, pftshaw!! Iowa, nothing to see.

hehehhe (some people just have no clue to beauty... either no sense to look or no eyes to see. :-)”

“You'd never see this stuff in Ioway:



No way!!

(did I actually get a photo to post??? huh huh??)”

“Yippee!! And 15 miles from where I live!!! In that really ugly state of IOWA. :-)”

“is that a sewage ditch?”
