ANNOUNCING: Road Mileage Contest!

ANNOUNCING:  Road Mileage Contest

On our epic cross-country road trip, The Tick-Magnets will be caching our way through 29 states, from Bonaire, Georgia, to Seattle, Washington, and back. We want you to be a part of the action! You can follow along on our adventure through our blog updates and Facebook posts. We hope to let you know of Webcams where we will stop along the way. Plus, we have more than 30 vehicles entered into our 2014-2015 Middle Georgia Travel Bug Race. Now here’s another way for you to join in the fun:
Would you like to win a special Seattle souvenir? It’s easy: We want you to tell us your best guess of HOW MANY MILES we will travel on this road trip. The guesser who is closest to the correct mileage will WIN! We’ll bring back a fun prize from Seattle just for you!
On Friday morning, August 8th, we will take a photo of the odometer in our geo-mobile just before we leave Georgia. We’ll post the picture, then we’ll give you ONE WEEK (until Friday, August 15th) to post your guess here. No more entries after the 15th. We are due to arrive home on Sunday, August 24th, so we’ll add another picture of our final odometer reading then … and we’ll announce the contest winner J
If it helps to map out your best estimate, here’s a list of the states we will be traveling to/through on our 17-day adventure:
