10/15. Must take the entire 4 years of high school over again. pft.
Sara, which questions tripped you up?
1. I kept thinking “Freeman” and knew it was close but incorrect, but my mind refused to dredge up the correct name.
2. I thought of the railway but dismissed it because I thought it was revived longer ago than ’89. (Apparently, someone has monkeyed with the space-time continuum.)
3. I had just read about him recently and have no excuse for not knowing that answer. Kicking myself.
4. For some reason, I was thinking Gila County, not Graham. Again, kicking myself.
10. I had never heard of the Shrine of the Ages Chapel before.
To be honest, I should really have only partial credit for #8. My answer was Ramsey Canyon, but I didn’t include Portal and Madera because Ramsey is the one I see mentioned most often in the media.
Well don’t kick yourself too hard. 🙂
