Looks like you're getting started a little late.

JXM forgot his Spot to Vegas. Tournament starts around noon.

You should be proud!

I used to go to Glenwood Springs all the time when I lived in Basalt. Other than the Hot Springs, I'm not sure why they'd name it "most fun?"

SANDPOINT, Idaho—Two Northwest towns are taking home top honors being named some of the best in the country.

Writers for "Best of the Road Rally" ranked Sandpoint as the most beautiful spot in the nation. Judges said the unofficial motto of the town should be "enjoy the great outdoors, connect with friends, and keep life simple."

Walla Walla also took home the title as the friendliest. Writers described the town as "a town so nice they named it twice; a culturally diverse small town with happy faces everywhere you go."

Other winners included Rapid City, SD as the most patriotic, Glenwood Springs, CO as most fun, and Lafayette, LA as best for food

Writers narrowed down the winners from more than 600 submissions. Judges then narrowed it down to 30 finalists, six in each category. They had five teams of amateur travelers go on a three week cross country trip, for a combined 25,000 miles traveled. They personally visited the six top towns in their assigned category.

The teams then consulted with a judge's panel to determine which town would be crowned the winner in each category."
