Think I only have been to 16.

It looks like Historical Site banners have been set up in various Villages stores and restaurants and you enter the "Passport Code" in each page and when complete, probably send it to the "The Villages Daily Sun".

I have been very fortunate and have visited 39.

[Taltarzac725]

I have seen these "Historical Site Entry" banners in various stores and restaurants here in the Villages. I was wondering what they were about at the time. Kind of an Easter Egg Hunt.


Good luck with your hunt if you choose this mission. This post will not self -destruct in five seconds.

I might have visited Death Valley and Yosemite but am not sure. I cannot recall the exact routes we took on various visits to Los Angeles, the Phoenix area, or Tucson.

Death Valley is looking very floral at the moment with the wildflower blooms - maybe you should head over and check it off the list before the temperature hits triple digits again

I do not see that. You fill in name, phone number and email address but I do not see any address or place to take it in the "Official Entry Page". And do they just take your word for how many of the 48 Passport Codes you have found? Or do you send them the whole pamphlet?

FROM THE PASSPORT
“Complete the Journey
Find all 48 Historical Sites and turn in your completed passport at The Villages Daily Sun offices in Lake Sumter Landing or Brownwood”.

Did you receive a Passport?

Thanks. I see that on page 4. I doubt if I can find all 48 as would have trouble getting to the far south part of the Villages.

I do see that it's a lot more complicated than I thought. The above link does have the addresses for The Villages Daily Sun but this is 4 different contests over 4 weeks.

Been to all except Bunker Hill. Looking forward to finding the banners! Then I gotta book a trip to Boston!

Made it to all but 15. Yellowstone, Denali and GC are the best and you should see them before you bite the dust.
