2008 Contest Questions!!!

[Greg C.]

I'm posting them earlier this year to give members more time to find the answers! I've been very disappointed over the last two contests because not many people have bothered answering and there hasn't been much competition. When you have found the answers, please send them to me in a PM and the winners will be announced on May 5.

1. What place on MSN’s 2005 poll of the top ten summer road trips in America did the Alamo finish at?

2. Who purchased the Alamo long barrack in 1877 and how much was it sold for?

3. What Japanese author dedicated a monument inscribed in Japanese comparing the Alamo battle with that of a battle fought in his own country?

4. The area of the Alamo fought where David Crockett defended was called?

5. On what date was the Texas Declaration of Independence signed?

6. What is the drug that Santa Anna may have been under the influence of during the siege and battle of the Alamo?

Some of these are gift questions. But, you have a month and a half to answer them so take your time!

Greg, I'm about halfway through chasing these down. Some of 'em were easy (Bless you).

[Greg C.]

LOL Rick. I had to mix them up. Easy, moderate, and hard. The search feature should help.
