That's to cool. I was very close to some in the beginning but not close enough. 40 out of 50.

Thanks

44 of 50, Avg error, 22 miles. The first couple in the middle of the country was where I was off. Once one or two got placed, I got really close after that.

Good Game!!

I had to tell Diana I hate her - she had 45 out of 50 right with an average error of 30 miles. It's lucky she is our navigator and not me(I'm too embarassed to quote my rating after hers . . . must have been a computer error). She's very good for a transplanted Brit now a Canuck!

Thanks for the fun - no thanks for my hurt feelings! LOL

Happy Christmas

Well I had have a a go too, and managed to beat Diana by just 1 mile on average distance. I guess we transplanted Brit/Canucks don't do too bad at U.S. geography. (Let's not get into history though!)

John, I guess I owe you (and Diana) a drink next time we meet - I'll try and make it a British Beer!

Happy Christmas to you and Donna

Sounds good - at least it would if it were warmer ouside. I hope that it will be next time we meet. In the mean time: Merry Christmas to you and Diana. (I bet (another beer?) that Diana is making another trifle for Christmas - I know we are).

John and Donna.

Great game! I'm going to "hang on tight" to my atlas as this small town boy gets lost when dealing with the East coast states!! Close is not good enough!! Am passing this game onto the kids - in the meantime I will continue to practice!

I haven't played it but watched Vicki doing so. Looks like "luck of the draw" is half the battle. If you get a few states like Michigan early on where you can align them with the Great Lakes or other landmarks, your score will be better than if you get something like Kansas or Oklahoma or other interior state first. Just an observation. Eventually I'll get there to try it but Vicki did so well I'm probably better off not being embarrassed.

46 out of 50, 9 mile avg error. But I can barely read a road map! Go figure.

Tried again ... 47 out of 50, 7 mile avg error.
