I really want to explore the west coast (only been as far as a Indio, CA for a few days), but for now I think my favorite state has to be Wisconsin. I live pretty close to the IL/WI border, so I have been there quite a few times. The smaller towns I have been to have been very welcoming and friendly. Madison and Milwaukee always have something going on, not to mention how pleasing they are to the eye (although I do live a pretty ugly place).

Best of all, Wisconsin is pretty big in cheese and beer, two of my favorite things in life. Everyone there has had a DUI at some point. EVERYONE. Ok, not everyone. There is a place in Monroe, WI, called Baumgartner's where they have locally brewed beer and delicious cheese sandwiches. Besides that, there are some pretty sweet campsites to explore and canoe around too. I guess the only thing I have against Wisconsin are the harsh winters and the Packer fans, but I'm pretty used to both.

I can also say with complete confidence that Tennessee is the worst state I've ever been to.
