Another great meet-up, another fantastic and informative Quiz. Many Congratulations for back to back successful meet-ups for #statechallenge.

As I was log in with another phone, my camera was fade and not very clear :sweat_smile:

But in Arizona Meet-up I will come with full preparation (with my notebook :laughing: ) and will try to give a tough time to @PeteMHW @AdrianLunsong

@lynneannec @JaneBurunina

And probably to my dear friend @AlexandreCampbell .

So be prepared for this competition with more preparation :sweat_smile: :laughing:

Thanks @Denise_Barlock and @Kwiksatik for another great meet-up :pray:

@PaulPavlinovich We ( @Kwiksatik ) would love to have our Australian friends join us on the meetups and we are more than willing to shift the time periodically to make it possible. Are there any states you would like to potentially participate in? Just let us know :slightly_smiling_face:

Cherry pie, huh? It is really amazing! Now to find out if Indiana is really the best?

Am now looking up "Cherry Pie delivery near @PaulPavlinovich "

Cherry pie is very unusual here in Australia @Kwiksatik - cherry danish yes, but not cherry pie. The filling from USA makers sometimes turns up in our supermarket but I think I’m the only one who buys it because when I’ve got it all it doesn’t come back for a year or two.

@Denise_Barlock I lived in California for nearly four years. I’ve visited nearly every state from that Highway 40 and 80 go through at least once.
