How many scenic suspension bridges exist on the Sheltowee Trace and where are they? If you think you know the answer, then please take our quiz and you might win some free maps.

Directions: If you can name or locate all of the suspension bridges on the Sheltowee Trace, then you can receive our new Sheltowee Trace map for free. Name all of the them and tell us which is the largest and which is the smallest, then you’ll get three free maps of your choice.

How to submit you answer: Email your answer to contest@outrageGIS.com beginning Friday, August 21, 2:00pm EST. You must be the seventh correct email to win. You only get one try and we’ll take your first answer.

If you’re not the 7th person to answer either question correctly, then you will still receive a bonus coupon to use at our online store. Just give it a try!


Which bridge is this?

Looks like the one in the gorge near the jumping rock on the northern half of RRG. But I can't say for sure.

Will you post the correct answers after the contest date? Possibly with photos of each of the bridges??

Well...that didn't go as planned. Not one correct answer....not even close. Probably mostly a function of publicity I'm sure, but I'd like to do something like this again....maybe not so hard.

any ideas?

I think a weekly obscure fact 1 question quiz would be fun. This could be something like "What year was the ST originally blazed?" or even a picture post/ ID or a "In which trail town can so and so market be found?"

That may be a fun way to get people into searching/reading about the trail.

16. no one got more than two correct. I'll probably do what Chilton recommends and do it week by week and do only one bridge until we get them all located....and maybe with pictures too.

I didn't know there were any suspension bridges on the trail.
