Title: SO, you think you know your geography!
Post by: GrayBeard on June 01, 2011, 11:57:47 am

A Map Challenge!
Can you place the states in the proper spot on a blank  USA  map?
This is a great geography lesson, for those of you with students and
yourself!
You'll have to spend a few minutes on this one ...
and you have to place the states very accurately,
If wrong tells you how many miles off you are.
If wrong, just move state with cursor to proper position and next one will
come up.
HAVE FUN!
