Your principal is missing, but left behind this map for you to find him. He loves the beauty of America, its landmarks, and historical sites, and wants to share his knowledge with you. In order for you to find him, you must visit each of the sites he stopped in while on his journey. He is waiting for you in a secret, yet magical, location.
Through your travels, you will visit 10 sites in 10 different states. In total, you will pass through 27 of our nation’s 50 beautiful states. Along the way you will learn information about the history and importance of each stopping point and use that information to earn the miles and letters necessary to find your principal.
To help you figure out his secret location, he has left a letter at each site. Keep track of these letters to figure out where to find him. After you have received your 10th letter, rearrange them to spell the mystery location.
Good Luck!
