Just Two States Left in My 50 State Rubber Duck Challenge! When I started my 50 State Rubber Duck Challenge last year, I knew it would be an adventure. My goal was simple: collect at least one rubber duck from each of the 50 U.S. states before my 50th birthday.

Just Two States Left in My 50 State Rubber Duck Challenge!

And now I’m down to the wire, August 6 is now around the corner and these two states are left. So I need your immediate help.

🦆 Vermont
🦆 Maryland

That’s it!

It can be any simple rubber duck small or big it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t even have to be branded for that state. Just any simple rubber duck.

It’s amazing to think that this challenge has taken me from wondering if I’d ever collect rubber ducks from all 50 states to being just two ducks away from completing the journey.

The Rubber Duck Community Is Amazing

One of the best parts of this challenge hasn’t just been adding ducks to my collection—it’s been meeting so many wonderful people along the way. Whether you’ve mailed me a duck, pointed me toward a souvenir shop, shared one of my posts, or simply cheered me on, you’ve become part of this adventure.

Not only that, but it’s been great seeing all my fellow followers and fans helping me in the journey to try to get people from other states to send me a rubber duck from their state. Thank you guys. You are the best. Let’s finish this strong.

Your encouragement has made this challenge even more fun than I ever imagined.

Can You Help Me Finish?

I’m looking for a rubber duck from:

• 🦆 Vermont
• 🦆 Maryland

If you live in either state, know someone who does, or happen to be traveling there, I’d love your help! Any rubber duck that mailed from those states would help bring this challenge to the finish line.

By the way, bonuses would be getting a rubber duck mailed to me from DC the district of Columbia, Canada, or any other international country. Those would be bonuses so let’s help make my 50th birthday special.

July 25, 2026, Steve only now needs Vermont. Maryland just came in.

Update! August 1, 2026, I got my last rubber duck from Vermont with only five days left.
