A lot of states came from business travel and since I'm now retired that isn't happening anymore.
Hitting some of the remaining 8 will require trips (or side trips) specifically to check them off. (AR, CT, DE, MS, NE, ND, RI, SD still to go.)
I found Arkansas very difficult to get in and out of. Their Airport in Little Rock didn't seem to have a lot of options in and out and was quite pricey so had to get a train from Fort Worth up (started the journey at Ardmore OK and of course, it was delayed mid-journey) - ended up a 12-hour day - good job I bought plenty beers and cocktail cans in Fort Worth when changing trains from OK
