Whoa, that's the strictest standard I've ever read, in the many threads about these maps. Here in New England, we have several states that are less than 50 miles wide! If you go 50 miles in, you're in the next state. Rhode Island is just 48 by 37 miles, maybe you can relax your standards for them.
sorry, yes, but that is just what we started out with and do not bend it much, (Conn also comes to mind... two of our nights are Mistic Harbor) We just didn't want to paint them too fast....walk in and see them all

Found I don't need to or even care to advertise it.
I'm with Deen on this one. My map here is blank and the one on my motorhome, put there by the previous owner, is blank.
It is reverse snobbism for me to show up in a campground in Georgia with Idaho plates and no little colored states on my map.
They ask and I say "Huh?". Leave them wondering if I was airlifted across country.
But I realize that my way isn't always the only way.

I don't see the filled-in map as "snobbism" and personally I'm not particularly trying to fill it all in. But it's a conversation piece: "Oh, I see you've been to Wyoming ... "
If I were using the above standard of "3 or more nights CAMPED, and must be more than 50 miles in," then half of my colored-in states would be blank. In fact, Wyoming would be colored-in, and then nothing else west of Ohio, and the map would have that "airlifted in" look.
