Ok, something new...

(Ok, not really new since Coins92 did something like this... but here goes)

I am going on a business trip on the 20th of August for 4 days. Your job is to guess where I am going. (I'm too lazy to come up with a new code, though I do have one #!$@% buster in mind... that's for later!)

1. Anyone with 50 posts can win.

2. You can change your guess anytime you wish, but you can have only ONE active guess at the end of the contest.

3. Closest guess in miles to my actual location (we'll use the airport center of the city I'm going to if it gets that down to street address/Latitude Longitude nit-picking-accurate).

4. The contest ends at Midnight Central Time (since that's my time zone) on the 18th of August.

5. The winner wins an 1889 Morgan silver dollar.

6. The results and winner will be announced on the 19th (as soon as I figure it out...)

7. I will give clues and answer questions (as in depth as I want...)

8. ADDED: Guesses must be at a minimum, city-specific, i.e., "Pittsburgh PA", not "New Jersey" or "the Western Hemisphere".


Guess away, me hearties! And good luck!

I might as well open the game in my quest for the Moe Contest Hat Trick!

My guess: Knoxville, TN.

Why? Because I used to live there and find it appealing.

jbuck! My man!

Good guess but, no.

Hint #1: The place I am going starts with a letter later in the alphabet than jbuck's choice.

So you are going to evaluate guesses right away and give me a chance to change it?

Let the battle begin!

Well, I do have another life outside this forum... But I will evaluate the guesses when I see them!

Okay, as a shameless topic bump, I will revise my guess:

Raleigh, NC

This will be my last guess for a while, so join in, people!
