Connecticut?#9: Jan Wolter (jan) on Sep 7, 2006
I think we determined in another puzzle discussion that it was New Mexico.#10: Kaitlyn Talaski (cheez) on Dec 17, 2006
I'm from here too! North of GR! I also didn't expect this to be my state!#11: Alaris Zaaqurin (Zephyr) on Jan 18, 2007 [HINT]

I was a professor of computer science at Texas A&M university. I did not get tenure so after seven years I headed back to Michigan. It was all very interesting from my point of view, but maybe not so much so from anyone elses.#16: Michael Ahr (mahr) on Aug 9, 2007
Wonderful puzzle! I'm from Michigan, too, originally: Midland... grew up in Maryland, though.#17: Arduinna (arduinna) on Jan 14, 2008
I got accepted at T A&M for my PhD, but I decided to go to OU (Oklahoma) instead. I decided driving all day to see my husband on the weekends wasn't worth it!#18: Ariel Drissman (rel322) on May 12, 2008 [SPOILER]

Ohh Jane! What about Bryce Canyon?#22: Jan Wolter (jan) on May 31, 2008
Bryce Canyon? H*ll of a place to lose a cow.#23: Gypso (Gypso) on May 31, 2008
"Note to my Bovine Tour Group:#24: Jan Wolter (jan) on May 31, 2008
Bryce Canyon has been removed from the itinerary."

(My previous comment is a quote from an Ebenezer Bryce, the old Mormon rancher who owned the Bryce canyon before it became a natural park. It was his response when asked his opinion of the place. I've always thought it summed up the place pretty well.)#25: Jane Doe (telly) on Jun 29, 2008 [SPOILER]

I love the canyon between Nevada & Utah, don't know what the name is...but it's beautiful (I just wish there was a place to pull over & take pictures)#27: Gypso (Gypso) on Jun 30, 2008 [SPOILER]

Zion was always my favorite.#29: Jane Doe (telly) on Jul 3, 2008

Love the Michigan puzzle, Jan! I'm near Findlay, Ohio now- but my family is all from Traverse City, and I'd be there too in a heartbeat if I could find a job up north. To me, Ann Arbor means driving past Domino HQ and seeing their awesome Christmas light display!#32: Ray Star (RazorStar) on Oct 17, 2010
It's swishigan.#33: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jul 13, 2012
I was living in Grand Rapids when you made the puzzle...#34: Liz Hoopfer (Conrad1307) on Aug 26, 2016
I'm from Traverse City, but live in Grand Rapids now - how neat this came up with a "random puzzle" selection.#35: Liz Hoopfer (Conrad1307) on Aug 26, 2016
And I did a good 4 years in Ann Arbor for school (Go Blue)!#36: Susan (Susan) on Jul 14, 2017

Susan, your comment was a tipping point for me. I've been solving these puzzles and reading the comments for about ten years, but have just now registered and entered the world that Jan created for us. It warmed my heart to learn that there's a bench dedicated to him in Ann Arbor. I wish I had known about it on my first visit there a few years ago.
