I figured that I would challenge myself to see how many of the wonderful photos that chick-on took for his daze series that I could identify. I allowed myself to looks at maps but not to go back and search through chick-on's past posts or his bountiful photo galleries. I'm guessing I will get about 70% right. Maybe a scoring system of 2 for a correct answer, 1 for a partially correct answer (i.e. In the ballpark) and of course 0 for an incorrect answer. I guessed for a few locations but also kept some blank. Here are my answers, lets see how I do.
