we won't share this information
We’ve been wanting to create this video since we ended our road-trip in December. This is the order in which we visited every State, Province, and Territory in Canada and the United States as controlled by YOU, the followers of alexandluke.com.
Enjoy,
alex and luke.
PS: The First Band/Person to create a YouTube video of them covering the song used in this video gets an alexandluke.com prize.
A follower asked that we put a link in for the resort we stayed at outside of Austin. Here it is!
Barton Creek Resort and Spa
Oklahama is the 35th region that we have visited on our roadtrip through every state, province, and territory in Canada and the United States.
To celebrate, the next region to have 35 people vote for it will be the region that we travel to later today. We are in a Whole Foods in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The closest city major city in Colorado is 670 miles away from the soup stand we are sitting beside. If Colorado wins we will fill our car up with gas, and start driving the very long drive.
If Kansas wins, we can drive to Wichita, Topeka, Kansas City, or Salina and maybe even make it in time for dinner! (depending on where you want us to go) We will make a detour into Siloam Sprins Arkansas before we leave! As, if we don’t go to Arkansas now, we will most likely never return.
If Missouri wins we will drive through Arkansas (for the same reasons mentioned above) and head to either Kansas City, MO or St Louis, MO! We are at your mercy.
This is Arkansas’ last chance to be thoroughly explored by us on our trip. If it doesn’t win this time, and Colorado or Missouri do… we will simply be driving through. Leaving Little Rock a mystery forever!
Vote now, there is no Twitter vote today, just use the poll below to make your choice:

There are two ways to vote for which direction we travel:
1) On alexandluke.com
2) On Twitter using hashtags
This vote marks the first time that the website vote had one option winning (Arkansas, Missouri, and Iowa), the Twitter vote had the other (Texas), and that the amount of Twitter votes ultimately pushed Texas into the lead. It came down to under 10 votes!
Thanks to everyone who voted!

When preparing our next directional vote we realized just how much bigger Texas was than the other States we are currently bordering. It’s bigger in population, it’s bigger in size, and it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that it’s bigger in popularity.
We have assembled a team of unlikely allies (Arkansas, Missouri, and Iowa) that may have a chance against Texas based on size, population, and attractions. It’s still not an entirely fair fight:
Population
Texas(24,782,302) > Arkansas(2,889,450) + Missouri(5,987,580) + Iowa(3,007,856)
Square Miles
Texas(268,820) > Arkansas(53,179) + Missouri(69,709) + Iowa(56,272)
But, from a voting perspective a vote for either option sends our trip in very different directions. A vote for the Arkansas, Missouri, and Iowa coalition will ultimately send us from the French Quarter in New Orleans all the way to the cornfields of Iowa (with visits to the Ozarks, Hot Springs, and the St. Louis Arch along the way). Or, a vote for Texas sends us through it’s eastern border towards Houston and Austin and with Texas being so big we will need your help to decide which direction to travel next (West vs. North)
Should Arkansas, Missori, and Iowa have listened to the saying “Don’t mess with Texas” a bit more attentively? Vote now to decide.
The vote should be visible in the top right corner of the website, and for all you Twitterers out there you can click on the hashtags below to generate a Tweet vote.
Thanks for voting, and if you could do us a favour and tell one new person about our vote this week we would owe you one!

We have been blocked into the southeastern region of the United States for a while now, but the results of this next vote could have us setting out on a whole new path. Will you vote us to Mississippi and then on to Louisiana, which would keep us on a steady pace West through states that run along the Gulf of Mexico? Or will you vote us to Mississippi and on to Arkansas, potentially sending us on a direct path North? We are really excited to see how you vote and how those results will affect the next few months of the trip. Little Rock or New Orleans next, its up to you…
Vote Now! In the top right corner on the website, or on Twitter by clicking any of the hashtags below.
If you vote on Twitter you will be entered into a draw for a commemorative spoon or thimble from the area we are voted to.
