Quest News: Clifton Forge reverts from city to town status...

THE QUEST

The quest is simple: to visit each of Virginia's 95 counties and 39 cities.

RULES

A. You may join the Quest whenever you like, but you must have visited at least two thirds of Virginia's counties and cities (90) before your progress will be displayed on this page. You may download a blank map if you want to make your own until then.

B. In order to count a county or city as having been visited:

1. You must have travelled within the legal boundaries of the county or city via ground or water transportation, although you are not required to have operated the method of transportation.

2. If asked, you must be able to identify the specific community, town, place, feature, or other location in the city or county you visited, or the highway through the city or county on which you travelled.

3. You must have visited each current county while it was that county, and each current city while it was that city.

4. You must be absolutely, positively sure that you have been in the county or city.

GETTING STARTED

The easiest way to begin is to take the list of counties and cities and use the state map to remove the cities and counties along the major highways you know you've taken. Then go back through the list and figure out if you've been anywhere in each remaining locality. E-mail me the list of the counties and cities to which you HAVE NOT been.

RESOURCES

Roads

The official state transportation map is the easiest way to determine which roads go through which counties and cities. Use this order form and you'll have one in a few days. To find a county or city, use the map index.
