I tried to find a candidate-movement-tracker, but to no avail. It'd be random luck if they appeared in easy driving distance.

What's the deadline for that one?

All items must be done by.... ummm American PDT time 12pm on the 8th of August.

Okay. I'm looking for someone to visit nine of these sites with a friend (it all has to be the same person and friend). I'm not actually sure how close any of these items are, but over in Delaware there seems to be a grouping (they are probably still far apart?).

This is the map that goes with it.

1. Grand Canyon, AZ
2. Bryce Canyon National Park, UT
3. Craters of the Moon National Monument, ID
4. Yellowstone National Park, WY
5. Pikes Peak, CO
6. Carlsbad Caverns National Park, NM
7. The Alamo, TX
8. The Platt Historic District, OK
9. Toltec Mounds, AR
10. Elvis Presley’s Graceland, TN
11. Vicksburg National Military Park, MS
12. French Quarter, New Orleans, LA
13. USS Alabama, AL
14. Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, FL
15. Okefenokee Swamp Park, GA
16. Fort Sumter National Monument, SC
17. Lost World Caverns, WV
18. Wright Brothers National Memorial Visitor Center, NC
19. Mount Vernon, VA
20. White House, Washington, DC
21. Colonial Annapolis Historic District, MD
22. New Castle Historic District, Delaware

50. Hoover Dam, NV

Good luck. If it wasn't all nine sites I could do a few, but even hitting the tightest group in the mid-atlantic area is about 24 hours of just driving, provided you planned it to miss the DC and NYC traffic nightmares. Even if you didn't sleep it would take a long time.

The US is big. I'd love to go back to a lot of these places but it's not super feasible. I AM going within ~50 miles of the Wright Brothers' Museum on Sunday. It's too bad they didn't want a Blackbeard thing. There's a really spooky graveyard in this patch of woods next to the beach.

It was kind of them to leave off Hawaii and put a second stop in California.

And yeah, like Kaharz said, I know the traffic around DC, at least, is incredible. Where's that perfect rail system you were designing!?

They also left out Alaska, didn't they? What stop replaced Alaska? There are still only 50 states, right? Does Puerto Rico have a star on the flag, yet?

Ooh, you're right!

They replaced it with visiting the White House in DC.

Cool. I figured they were all ridiculously far apart but thought I'd check. Maybe someone was going on a road trip anyway?

Did I ask if anyone lives near a Glacier? I need someone to stand in swimmers in front of one, but surprisingly Australia does not have many any.

I can take a few photos in front of some ice cubes if you like.

I will happily wear a swimsuit and photograph myself in front of a glazier for you.

I know approximately one glazier. I don't think he'd be amused.

If we are talking about glazing foods I have a guy (he's sitting right next to me). If we're talking about glazing pottery I also know a guy.

*It's the same guy. A toofer!

I assumed glazier as in someone who works with glass and windows.

Oh no!
