  1. Bob Love, Glad you enjoyed this months trivia game. 80% is not a bad score at all. Zion is a beutiful place to holiday. Thank you for posting your score and for participating in the trivia.

  2. nushagak, Stop dreaming and get that RV rolling. Great score! Thanks for the participation and input.

  3. Moose&Squirrel East, Glad you liked this month trivia. 90% is real good. New Orleans is alive and well, and getting stronger. Thanks for posting your score and for your positive input.

  4. Bob Love

    Fun quiz. I take exception to substituting ‘smart’ for ‘knowledgeable’ — they are very different! (Response to D & D) However, it may apply to me after missing Utah, since I had to purchase wine out-of-state on four different trips to have a picnic dinner for my groups at Zion. 8 for 10 with that goof and the highest point.

  5. nushagak

    10/10 – made me start dreaming about going to New Orleans, or the Keys, or Colorado, or ….. love having my RV!

  6. Moose&Squirrel East

    Best Trivia yet! 9 0f 10, thought New Orleans was submerged.

  7. Michael Wader, Again a good indicatioin that the first and the last question were probably the hardest. You still managed a good score. Glad you enjoyed it, and yes there will be more in the future. Thank you for your input and participation.

  8. larry9824, Wow, still more with 100%, and well travelled too. Thanks for posting your great score.

  9. francis44, Good going eh! Another 100% score. Thanks for posting and for your input.

  10. PeteB, The first and last were probably the toughest questions, so don’t feel bad. 80% is still a good score, especially considering you had not been to any.
    I’m glad you enjoyed the trivia. Thanks for the input.

  11. Jim Headrick, Great going. I’m surprised so many did so well. Obviously you had a good chance as you have travelled to all. Thanks for participating and posting your great score.

  12. Barbara Kirkhart, 90% is not too shabby. You fell for the Keys also. Good score, and thanks for posting it.

  13. Pam, You are well travelled. Great score. Thanks for posting and your input.

  14. Michael Wader

    Missed the first and the last. Thought it was a very good quiz and am looking forward to the next one.

  15. larry9824

    10 for 10. Have been to all of them.

  16. francis44

    10 out of 10, not bad for a canadian

  17. PeteB

    8 out of 10: goofed on the first and … you guessed it … the last one. As Ellen F put it: fairly good at geography and trivia even though didn’t do all of that and haven’t been to all those places … … yet ! Very good quizz!

  18. Jim Headrick

    10/10. Have been to all of them and ya’ gotta love this country and lifestyle

  19. Barbara Kirkhart Palmer

    9 of 10 – missed the longest causeway bridge (I thought it was in the Keys, as well – but I’ve been there, and never crossed Ponchartrain).

  20. Pam

    Got 10 out of 10. Been to all except Atlantic City.

  21. virginia1942, Still another perfect score. Good going. I am still surprised so many knew the answer to the highest interstate. Thanks for posting your score and for your input.

  22. virginia1942

    10/10 Just got back from Death Valley (Bad Water) second trip

  23. Curt, Great score. I wonder which one you missed. My guess would be the Eisenhower Tunnel question. Thanks for posting your score.

  24. Curt

    9 out’o 10

  25. Lug_Nut

    David Campbell, Another top score, but really, it is not that easy for many. Thanks for your input.

  26. David Campbell

    Too easy – no sweat 10 for 10

  27. Lug_Nut

    Ken, Let’s call it greater St. Louis. Thanks for the input.

  28. Lug_Nut

    BARRY ENGLEMAN, Well sometimes we don’t pay much attention to things near home. Seven is a good score anyway. Thanks for your input.

  29. Lug_Nut

    Maggie, Yes I thought some would think of the 7 mile bridge in the Keys. Only missing two is very good. Congratulations on 80%. Thanks for sharing your score and for your input.

  30. Ken

    I believe # 6 should be – East St. Louis. You’re looking west toward St. Louis.

  31. BARRY ENGLEMAN

    7 out of ten with one very embarassing one. I have lived in Silverthorne, Colorado for twenty years, between the Eisonhower Tunnel and Vail Pass, and I got 10 wrong! For twenty years, I thought Vail Pass was higher. When we leave home, our motorhome knows it has a little work to do immediately before it can relax a little.

  32. Maggie

    Missed two: Lake Ponchartrain (my head was telling me 7-mile bridge in the Keys), and hadn’t a clue about Death Valley’s elevation.

  33. Lug_Nut

    Ellen F, You must be real good in geography to get all 10 right. Congratulations. Thanks for your great effort and posting it.

  34. Ellen F

    10 for 10, but haven’t been there or done that–just good at geography and trivia

  35. Larry Archambeau, Yes it would appear the photo is taken from the west, thereby possibly from Illinois. But, the question really tailors itself to “name the city”, which of course, is St. Louis. Thanks for pointing that out and for your participation.

  36. Larry Archambeau

    I hate to be a smart a**, but based on your picture for question 6, I believe I’d really be in East St. Louis, Illinois.

    10 for 10, however, and I’ve only ever been to one of the correct answer places in my life. That would be St. Augustine. I guess I have some travelling to do, yet. Gotta get hopping.

  37. Dennis n Debi, No, not easy, your just very smart. Thanks for posting your excellent score.

  38. Pam Evans, Good score. I guess even though people have been to the Eisenhower Tunnel, does not mean they are aware of its elevation. Thanks for the input and for posting your score.

  39. Dennis n Debi

    10 outta 10…too easy….:-)

  40. David Hopkins, Sounds like you are well travelled. The Eisenhower Tunnel was a tough one. Thank you for your input.

  41. Richard, 3 wrong is still 70% right. That score is not bad. Thanks for posting your score and the input.

  42. Pam Evans

    9 outof 10 – I missed the Eisenhower Tunnel and we’ve been through there several times.

  43. Dan, 70% is not a bad score. Thanks for posting.

  44. David Hopkins

    9 outta 10. Missed the Eisenhower Tunnel question. Don’t recall ever being there. Been to all the others so it was kinda easy.

  45. Richard, You are correct and I have made the needed change. Thank you for pointing out the error and for your valued input.

  46. Jim, Great score! Thanks for sharing that with us and for your input.

  47. Well, I got 3 wrong. I guess I need to do more traveling.

    Richard

  48. Dan

    Need to get out more, West that is. 7 out 10

  49. Richard

    The alpha character answer for question #9 doesn’t match up. The correct answer is Route 66, but that is answer D, not answer A. At least, that’s the way it is on my computer.

  50. Jim

    10 for 10. Been there, done that. Wow! This is a cool lifestyle. I bet we are not the only ones, too.
