Travel Tuesday and Giveaway

Today is Travel Tuesday. It is also the Wonderland Giveaway Blogfest hosted by Sylvia at Writing in Wonderland as a way to celebrate her achievement of 400 followers. Yay, Sylvia! In order to keep Travel Tuesday in its usual day slot, I have decided to combine the two.

Since my travel memoir takes place throughout the national park system in the lower 48 (see Our Life on the Road for more), I thought I would make the giveaway about the national parks themselves. During our trip, we took more than 18,000 photos. Several are shown below.

 To enter:
1. Be a follower of this blog.

2. Be a follower of Sylvia’s blog.

3. Posted below are photos from national parks within the lower 48 (the last one offers a hint). The person who guesses the most correct national parks will win the book of his or her choice from the following:




 (Which I had won from Gina's giveaway. Thanks, Gina).


4. Fill out the form below with your information and your guesses. I will only use your email address to notify the winner and to obtain a mailing address.

The Travel Tuesday Giveaway ends midnight MDT on Sunday, August 21st and is only open to U.S. and Canadian residents.  In the event there is a tie, my son will be the tie-breaker by drawing names from a hat of his choice.

After you’ve entered, be sure to visit the other participants’ blogs (links found on Sylvia's site) and enter their giveaways.

  2. Great photos, Susan, but I can't enter your quiz as I live in England, and have never visited any of America's National Parks.
    I just wanted to let you know that I popped in (and became a follower) through Sylvia's blogfest.

  3. Beautiful photos! What a great idea for a giveaway. I'll have to think about these a while. I'm pretty sure I know three of them, but I'm not positive about the others. I'm going to let it stew a while. Have fun!

  4. Wow! this is an amazingly creative giveaway, Susan. There will be some lucky person who recognizes the photographs, which are beautiful. I thought California, New Mexico, Arizona--love those joshua trees--as I scrolled down. It won't be me. I'm very bad with names, and it's getting worse as I get older!

    I came over from my blog, where you posted a comment, to meet you, too. I think if you do win a copy of my memoir you could call it a "copy" for your Kindle. Times have certainly changed! But though I still love "real" books, especially to mark up/underline and flip pages, I do like to read on my Kindle or Nook. For one thing, you can enlarge or decrease the font; and it certainly does save space. No more overflowing bookcases (and in the small places I've moved in and out of in my life I've had to unload a lot of my books--that's been difficult to do).

    Anyway, travel memoirs are "in" so I hope yours will meet with success!

    And I'm now a follower.
