Mt friends down there took me to see the highest point in Florida. Way up there we could see for yards.
Yep. It’s like being on the moon. Not a lot to see or do. There are signs on the highway pointing at exit ramps that say “Nothing” or “No Services”. Meaning if that ain’t your dirt farm there isn’t any reason to get off this road.
Been to all 50 states!. North Dullkota is definitely the most boring.
Ahh, the good old joke:
Q: What’s the best thing to come out of North Dakota?
A: Highway 2.
IIRC the highest point in Florida is up in the panhandle, on the state line with (Alabama?).
Well, if your definition of “not boring” requires tourist destinations and activities designed to entertain you, I guess. If you find the natural world interesting in its own right, ND looks pretty cool.
Most vistas along most Interstates suck. Very few possess “scenic” stretches. I-5 in California’s San Joaquin Valley only slightly edges I-70 in Kansas. Get out on the blue highways… and Kansas still wins. (US Army kept me there for a couple years.) You’ll barely notice the Flint Hills but they might edge-out Iowa, which mostly features yet another county courthouse every 25 miles. Don’t lump Nebraska in there; the Sand Hills are nifty.
The Murkan states I’ve not yet visited are S.Dakota, S.Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. No rush. I love the Western states; IMHO nowhere east of the Rockies is inhabitable. (Yes, I’ve resided in the East, too.)
Beside boring, there’s terrifying. I have reasons to nominate Tennessee and Texas. I’ll take boring, thank you.
My parents wanted to see all 50 states. So we drove from one side of the country to the other. Multiple times. Trans-Canada highway, I-94, I-90, I-80, I-76, I-70, plus up and down, I-5, I-95 and some others. Still haven’t made it to Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and I’ve only visited the airports of Georgia and Tennesse.
Realized sometime after I moved to NJ that I was living only about 10 miles away from a campground that I stayed at when I was 12.
Been there, done that (sliding backward on an icy hill).
I had a colleague from Saskatchewan. She had to leave Luzern because she felt that the mountains were closing in on her. I have the opposite problem with flat spaces. The horizon is too far away.
It’s not the far horizon for me Die, its…well I dunno what “it” is exactly, but people that live in the central plains are, different. 4 years was all I could take and when I went back to visit for a few weeks a couple years ago…gaah! How people live there without going batshit crazy is beyond me. Ocean beach with the salt smell and susherations of the waves is actually kinda nice and you still have that flatness and big distant horizon. Of course there’s tons of stuff going on at the beach with various sea and land creatures there.
I’ve been in every state except the deepest southern ones and my take is that natural beauty is everywhere, if you get out of your car. Of course so is human ugliness.
Yeah, Arizona has some gorgeous scenery. The interstates (I -10 to I- 8) from Tucson to Phoenix? Dullsville. Though you could stop off at Rooster Cogburn’s Ostrich Farm or Picacho Peak for a break.
South Dakota is NOT boring to drive across I-90 with all the Wall Drug billboards and other places to see like the Pioneer auto museum.
If your in to bicycling Nebraska has the Cowboy Trail.
Right now, not so much. Give us a year or three to repair the flood damage.
South Dakota has Dignity. She is right next to I-90.
ETA — and Custer State Park, and the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Wind Cave.
You could go to South Dakota and drive around Custer State Park and accidentally end up in the middle of a buffalo herd. Then take 45 minutes to drive with them so they don’t bump the car as much for about 1/2 mile until they move past you.* Just try to do that in Delaware. Or Rhode Island.
*This actually happened to us in about 1974.
Kansas doesn’t get flat and boring until about halfway through. And part of the problem is that the eastern third of Colorado looks just like Kansas – maybe even uglier. So it just seems like the boring goes on forever.
My vote would have to be either Oklahoma or Nebraska. As mentioned above, at least Nebraska has Omaha. I’m not sure Oklahoma has anything going for it. (Tired old joke: why is Kansas so windy? Because Nebraska blows and Oklahoma sucks!)
“Every time I go in Barnes & Noble and I see all those nice travel books, I think I should write one as a public service for free called ‘Skip it!’ Just so everybody knows; 'cos you always hear people say ‘we want to go see all of America!’ No, no you don’t; you want to see some of America. In my book like the first 12 pages would just be blank, and you wouldn’t know what I was talking about, and you’d get to the end of the chapter and I’d go 'See? That was North Dakota!”

And more U.S. Presidents than any other state.
Being a lifelong Ohioan, I am obviously biased in my opinion that Ohio has a lot to offer. Like lakes? Got a real big one up north. Big towns? Yep. Small towns? Lots of them. Mountains? No, but SE Ohio is very hilly. Hiking/fishing/hunting? Lots. Low cost of living? Check. Best state flag? Yep. 
I think Ohio’s biggest drawback is the weather. Winter & spring really suck here.
I drive south through Ohio more than once a year. the only time it got interesting is when we were heading to Madison (Indiana) and once we got a bit past Dayton everything stopped being so flat and boring.
Both my parents left Ohio for the Pacific Northwest before I was born and don’t plan on moving back. But they will be buried there as their parents, siblings, grandparents, cousins, 2nd cousins, etc. are all bured there.
The Ohio of my grandparents’ generation is gone. Every one of my grandfather’s brothers worked for GM/Delco and the shopping mall they went to is an empty shell. Ohio may have a lot to offer, but not where my parents grew up.
