Hey all,
I'm 99.99999% sure there was an Alphabet County Challenge, with the hide somewhere in MN and I apparently didn't bookmark it. I've tried searching for it, but I'm coming up empty. Anyone recall this one? Did I miss out on it before it was archived?
Thanks! |

Ditto! I should really do that. I was in Texas in May and took a really stupid trip to the Mexican border just to qualify, getting back to my hotel at 3AM. But might I recommend south-central Texas for those pesky U, V, and Z letters. Still missing Q, but the wild card takes care of that. |

Can't you use this 'wild card' thing? |

| OK, so does Minnesota have all the counties to qualify for this challenge? |

Nope. No Q, X or Z. |

No E or U either. I have all MN counties, plus St. Croix in WI (Hudson, for X), and still needed E, Q, U, V and Z. |

Why does that Z county in SD have to be in one of the most inconvenient possible locations?  |

Zavala County, Texas, isn't exactly a monument to convenience either. |

| I still need Q, U, V and Z. With the wild card, I'm down to three of those four. |

| Using St. Croix, WI for the letter X, I need Q, V, and Z; and with the wildcard I’m down to 2 counties left. |
