On the passenger-side slide-out, we have a large sticker with the Sinclair Trails logo, a map of the US showing the states we’re visited, a QR code for the website, and stickers with the SinclairTrails.com domain name and @SinclairTrails social handle:

The states sticker consists of separate stickers for each state, applied to a base sticker. Our rule is that we have to have done something in a state for it to count (e.g. camp, eat in a restaurant, or explore something, not just driving through). Once we have done something in a new state, we add its sticker. So far, we’ve visited 38 of the 50 states:

We’ll want to replace these stickers at some point; the earlier ones are looking very faded. We’ll probably get new stickers that include Canada when we visit Alaska, since we’ll likely drive through part of Canada to get there.

Visiting Alaska is going to be a major project. And of course we can’t take our motorhome to Hawaii, but we’ll count that when we next visit there.

On the driver-side slide-out of the coach, we have stickers for each of the National Parks we have visited, that being another of the goals in our travels. We visited 12 more parks in 2024 (plus revisited several), so have visited 47 of the 63 parks; still a bunch to go:

Of course, we’ve also visited numerous National Monuments, National Historic Sites, and other classifications. With 433 units of various types in the National Park System, not to mention parks administered by states, forest services, etc, we had to cap the memorializing of them somewhere! National Parks are the goal; others are gravy.

However, inside our coach we have a framed board with a wooden map of the US, around which we add stickers and pins for any kind of attraction we visit (we prefer stickers, but tend to get pins, as they are smaller). It’s populated a bit more since 2023 and 2022, though still lots of space for future attractions:

The wooden map has pins for states we’ve visited; the pins feature the state flags:

Fun memorabilia.
