“BEST OF THE BEST BLOGS” COMPETITION: WE NEED YOUR VOTE!

Last October, much to our surprise, the Road Trip Journal entered our blog about our hike at Heceta Head, Oregon, in their monthly blog competition.  With the help of you blog readers, we won that month’s competition, and a $100 gas card.  It felt GREAT!  (And we were able to fill Jules’ tank twice.)

December’s “Best of the Best” competition includes all the winners of 2009’s monthly competitions, including us.  This time, the prize for the winner is a $500 gas card, and a $200 gas card for a winning voter.  And bragging rights for all of next year, of course.  :)

Our friend Jo Wishnie is also in the competition. She’s already lobbying her blog readers and Facebook friends for votes, so I thought I’d better get my own publicity juggernaut rolling. 

Here is the link to view the “Best of the Best” and place your vote: Readers Choice Award.  Our entry is the October winner, Heceta Head Lighthouse & Hike, Oregon.  From that page, click on the “Enter Survey Here” graphic to place your vote (for us, we hope). 

One unusual aspect of the Road Trip Journal’s competition: they use the original blog’s text, displayed on a plain white background with a few of the original post’s photos.  I was sorry to see that my favorite photos from the original post weren’t selected by the editor to be included… so I reprinted them here for you readers.  The variety of mushrooms along the trail was amazing.

Thanks for reading and, if you think our post warrants it, thanks for your vote.  Oh, the anticipation!
