Texas has a higher percentage of its state under forest cover than California or Minnesota. I read that and thought there is no way its possible, but its true.

East of about the Dallas/San Antonio longitude it’s similar in tree cover to most of the eastern states. West of that starts turning to desert.
 
There are a lot of interesting states on that list. I would have expected North Dakota to be much higher, Oregon too.

Oregon is one of those that really took me by surprise after I moved out this way. I mean I always knew about the high desert but it's different actually driving through it and seeing it first hand. From where I'm at in Boise it's about a 5hr straight shot due west through the desert until you hit Bend and then boom... mountains and forests. You do have the Malheur, Umatilla and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests up in the NE part of the state but other than that not much. Def not something you think about driving up the lush coastline that's for sure.

Hell, even Washington is one you'd expect to be higher up the list.

Washington would be higher if you moved there.
 
Truthfully haven't in a year and a half prob. Even before then it was very infrequent and only when someone else happened to have it. I'm a bad friend, always mooched off others :(
