The new 2007 official state road maps are out. This is the one with the governor's picture and lots of factoids about the Tar Heel state. I thought you might enjoy taking the following quiz gleaned from map facts. The third person to get all of the answers right will receive a prize. How about a free driver's license renewal? Sorry, I have no authority to do that but I can give you some music for your next road trip. How about a signed copy of my Peaceful Journey CD which celebrates many of my favorite places across North Carolina? I could probably throw in an autographed picture of WRAL Trafficologist Mark Roberts. Good luck!
