Last year's challenge was a bit disappointing. Not because of the quality of the samples I received, but the quantity of samples I posted. I fell far below of my goal of posting a new sample a day. I have set myself a more reasonable task this year - 100 United States and 100 International samples. The quest to Turn the United States Purple still exists, but with a slightly different goal. I've given up trying to get ten samples for each state in one year. The colors on the states now reflect how many samples we have for the state. The goal is to get at least 25 samples per state. There is no time limit.  I definitely want to see more from the Midwest. There must be sand somewhere in Kansas and Nebraska! Let the quests continue!!
