Round Two - Triva Game

The journey has only begun. We still have about three quarters of the state to cover in our Tar Heel Trivia game. We started Thursday with a question that covered three of NC's 100 counties. Once a question is answered a blogger will pose another question about another county until all 100 counties are mentioned.

Thursday the following counties were included in the shower of excellent questions and answers about NC: Alamance, Ashe, Avery, Beaufort, Chatham, Cumberland, Davidson, Duplin, Forsyth, Guilford, Harnett, Johnston, Lee, Lincoln, Martin Mitchell, Orange, Pamlico, Perquimans, Randolph, Transylvania, Wake, Watauga and Yancey.

How many more counties can we cover today?
