I'll start a new criteria.
THe most boring state to drive accross is....
Nebraska.
By that criteria, nebraska is the armpit of the country.
And if you want to judge by the least hospitable climate, my vote again is nebraska. Western nebraska is brutally boring and has the worst winters coupled to the worst summers anywhere in the country as far as I know. 100 degrees with 100 percent humidity in the summers, and well below zero in the winters. Spring and fall do not exist there. The only wildlife is pronghorns (sort of a cross between a goat and a deer, they bleat like sheep but not as frequently) and coyotes. There are no forests, no beaches, no lakes, and no mountains.

I grew up in western Nebraska. You'll get no argument from me about the gawd-awful climate. I can't think of a place that has both extremes like it does.
I've always told people that Nebraska isn't so bad to drive through if you get off the interstate. I grew up right on highway 6 and 34, mostly along the Republican River where there were some trees, and think driving through those little towns was at least a step up from driving over a treeless plain for miles on end.
I used to boast that Nebraskans live longer than people from any other state until one of my friends said, "They don't really live longer, it just seems longer."

I been to Nebraska several times. Outside of Omaha, it's nothing but flat farmland. Hell, it was boring to fly over!
