When I read this it was years ago. I think it was contiguous states. It might even have been before we added Hawaii. I learned we only had 48 states while in high-school, and had to relearn it all over. I would think Hawaii would have the most coastline. There are so many islands in the state. I do know that Michigan has a lot of beachs, bordering on two of the Great Lakes. Also, at one point, Michigan had the most motorcycles per person of any state. I don't know if that is still true. I do know that Michigan has the only upper peninsula. That must mean something. Especially if you are a Upper. Unless you are from Michigan, you can't appreciate that. Evan L.
