I&#8217;ve lived a pretty sedentary life devoid of strenuous hikes over vast distances. Friend-of-12MC Steve from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ctmq.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CTMQ.org<\/a> (formerly Connecticut Museum Quest and now much more broadly focused) once completed a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. I created an article on <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=6917\">counties he&#8217;d hiked through<\/a> hoping he&#8217;d pick up the county counting hobby, although it just wasn&#8217;t his thing. I&#8217;m sure Steve drove through a few of the 87 AT Trail counties on other journeys although I&#8217;d also guess that his &#8220;only-on-foot&#8221; tally would be substantial. Mine, not so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">San Juan County, Utah<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/35385633933\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4308\/35385633933_cd579ac2bf_b.jpg\" alt=\"Four Corners.

One for sure. That would be San Juan County which was Utah&#8217;s contribution to the sole state quadripoint of the United States, <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=1406\">Four Corners<\/a>. Notice my foot touching said county in the photograph above from my second visit there. I circled around the marker any number of times, traveling through that tiny bit of Utah on foot each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d1615301.8645052954!2d-111.34798859313496!3d37.74580795227739!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x8737d125d02a37f5%3A0xfe1b93f5d35290e7!2sSan%20Juan%20County%2C%20UT!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1592082826862!5m2!1sen!2sus\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" aria-hidden=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had confidence in my memory although I consulted maps extensively to confirm it. Apparently I drove on all sides of San Juan Co. without actually crossing the border except on foot at the Four Corners marker. Even the road leading up to the marker remained completely outside of Utah. So that&#8217;s ONE. Absolutely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nantucket County, Massachusetts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/17331458228\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/7771\/17331458228_669bee67aa_b.jpg\" alt=\"Cisco Brewery; Nantucket, Massachusetts.

That is NOT the pedaled vehicle we used<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Might I possibly bend the rules just a little? I&#8217;d have a second example from one of my more recent travels if that wish were granted. Massachusetts&#8217; island of Nantucket fell within its own county. I never used a motorized vehicle anywhere on Nantucket. However, we rented bicycles and pedaled a few miles into the countryside to the Cisco Brewery for an afternoon of tastings and entertainment during our stay (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/zFeCm1nH6fHiw7jd8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). I think I deserved at least partial credit or an honorable mention for getting everywhere on Nantucket under my own personal muscle power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incidentally I couldn&#8217;t make the same claim a day earlier in Dukes County (Martha&#8217;s Vineyard, primarily). We rented a car in Oak Bluffs and drove all over the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Municipio de Ju\u00e1rez, Chihuahua, M\u00e9xico<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/aquistbe\/2678582955\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/3167\/2678582955_660b7ec297_b.jpg\" alt=\"Av Juarez to S El Paso Crossing.

I&#8217;ve been to Mexico twice, neither time using engine power so I felt I might meet the rules for an entire nation. It involved two separate Mexican states so I should also get credit for Chihuahua and Coahuila. However I decided to focus on counties for this exercise, or in this instance their Mexican equivalents, municipalities (municipios).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several years ago on a business trip to El Paso, Texas, a group of us decided to walk across the bridge into Ju\u00e1rez (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/2N52yXAoPjY4Rgdg7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). The smarter bunch hopped into a taxi as soon as they crossed the border and went to a restaurant in a nicer part of town. Others, myself included, just sort-of milled around the border area checking out the scene. I thought it was pretty seedy, with a bunch of shops selling liquor and discount drugs that would need prescriptions back in the United States. I lasted about ten minutes before I grew bored and walked back into the USA. However, apparently it added Municipio de Ju\u00e1rez to my very short only-on-foot list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Municipio de Ocampo, Coahuila, M\u00e9xico<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howderfamily.com\/graphics\/blog\/boquillas_del_carmen_mexico.jpg\" alt=\"Boquillas del Carmen, Coahuila, Mexico.

Several years ago <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=2962\">I wrote about<\/a> my technically illegal (albeit tolerated) dodge across the border into Mexico while visiting Big Bend National Park in Texas. I visited tiny Boquillas del Carmen (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/vx6ZsK19zFncGFEGA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>) in Municipio de Ocampo. I never used a motorized vehicle during that visit although I didn&#8217;t remain entirely on foot either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I rode a burro into town after disembarking a rowboat that ferried me across the border. Yes, a burro. I&#8217;m fairly certain it was the only time I&#8217;ve even ridden a burro. I should get double points for that effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elsewhere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/51576509203\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51576509203_3d3005bf68_b.jpg\" alt=\"Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.

I&#8217;ve traveled into Canada using seven different border stations. For a moment I thought I might be able to claim the Regional Municipality of Niagara in Ontario because I walked across the border from New York for a better view of the falls. Then I remembered I drove up to Toronto on a different trip and would have passed through the same municipality by automobile. No dice. I also looked at my travels to Europe, Asia and Australia and found nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final tally in the United States: one county solely on foot; one on foot and bicycle. In Mexico, one municipio solely on foot; one on foot and burro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought I&#8217;d sliced-and-diced my county counting exploits in every way imaginable by the time I posted Counting Down, my account of barely crossed and airport only captures.
