Users of Tuscobia State Trail presented “Questing Challenge”

Starting Jan. 1 2010, the Tuscobia State Trail is hosting a "Questing Challenge" for eight weeks, ending Feb. 18. Each week a photo of a notable point of interest along the Tuscobia Trail will be published. Participants can then either submit the physical location or GPS coordinates of the point of interest. All entrants should be submitted no later than March 10.

Tuscobia State Trail Manager Kathy Oginski, who organized the challenge, said “all of the points of interest are clearly visible from the trail so there is no need to look under bridges, in badger holes, or other places.”

At the end of 8-weeks, participants can send Oginski the locations via email or regular mail. The person with the most correct points identified, she said, will win a Garmin Nuvi GPS unit donated by the Friends of the Tuscobia Trail.

In the event that more than one person would have the correct locations identified, a drawing would take place from those participants.

To get things going Oginski provided this prose:

A new season has begun
Come and join us for some winter fun!
Get on board and ride the ghost rail
Of, you guessed it...The Tuscobia State Trail
This new challenge is a quest
To find unique landmarks from east to west
So gas up your sled, grab a GPS
Keep your eyes open & put your skills to the test!
