2000: Massachusetts, Maine, Washington, South Dakota, Utah, California, Oregon, Texas, Minnesota, New Hampshire
2001: New Hampshire, Utah, Massachusetts, California, Oregon, Minnesota, Nevada, Vermont, Iowa, Washington
2002: Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Iowa, Minnesota, California, Utah, Alaska, Oregon
2003: New Hampshire, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Utah, Maine, Vermont, California, Connecticut, Wyoming, Nebraska
