Contest: 10 US States I’ve visited, One is a Lie (Win the liquid rewards from this post)

I was born in France and I have been living in Canada for 23 years.

Over the years, I have visited many US States, sometimes very briefly, starting in 1971.

And here are the results of this contest.
All the states have been mentioned in the comments, up to six times, in this order:

• Oregon (only once): I have been to Oregon a number of times, for example to accompany my youngest daughter Gaelle to track and field competition in Eugene.

• Alabama (5 times): coming back from Miami to Vancouver, we crossed Alabama going west.

• Vermont (5 times): my boss in New York had a big house in Vermont, so I have been there numerous time, either on business or just visiting.

• Wyoming (3 times): from Calgary to Miami, we went through Montana and Wyoming.

• South Dakota (5 times): In 2007, with my brother Philippe, we made another trip in a motor home: Vancouver east to Quebec City; then south to New York and Washington, DC; then back to Vancouver through the USA, including South Dakota. We even had a glass of iced water at the Wall drug store.
