hi!!
sheri (rockhobbit )issued a challange to incourage us to have some new contests . i do not know about 2 in two days . i have to think about ,that . any way this should take a close to a week .
as some of you know i live in western PA . my dad was born in Pittsburgh . my mom was born elsewhere .
she was born in a place where much nicer rocks a readily found .also a place that i would love to visit again now that i like to make rocks shine .
the goal is to figure out which SMALL town .
1 rule is , only one guess per member until next clue is given !!
then you get one more guess , until next clue is given .and so on.

so 1st part of contest ,is to figure what State she was born in .then i'll will give a clue every day to help out .
the 1st clue is :
she was was born in a state in the middle 3rd of the country going East to West. ---------------Good Luck!!
By The Way :
the prize will be picked after i pm the winner to find out their preferences & particular rock interests & will most likely be a box smaller than an FRB .i have to check my stockpile .
thanks Sheri !! i hope that your challenge gets more contests , going .-----------------------paul

Good Job !! Simon & Barb
South Dakota towns are spread out much farther out than in PA . this town is visable on any road map that i've ever looked at . so go ahead & take one more guess if you guessed in 1st round . or if you just started take your 1st one , but only one until tomorrows clue.
thanks !!!-----------paul
