    OK, here goes round 17 of the 50 States BIF. Just over a week since one kick butt arrived on my doorstep from @hansenm72 for winning his part 16 LIF. Huge thanks to him!

    Please only participate in this LIF if you can start your own LIF. Your LIF can be whatever type of competition you want it to be, the only rule you have to follow is players from your state and previous winner’s states are not eligible for the contest.

    States NOT eligible are:
    NY, IL, MI, CA, MN, PA, OH, CT, WA, TX, MA, NC, RI, AR, WI, and VA

    As @hansenm72 did, I will to open it to Alaska and Hawaii if a winner from that state is willing to split shipping costs with me.

    I visited a National Park today and thought that would be a great theme for my questions. I love the National Park system. These questions are a little vague to start with. I’ll add clues as we go.

    US National Parks questions
    1. When I was a kid, I visited a National Park every year with my family, now my favorite place on earth. What park was it?
    2. My family and I did a tour that included a series of National Parks a couple years ago, name 2 of the 4 parks visited.
    3. My family and I took a vacation and stayed in a hotel on one of the largest mountains in the US. What Park and what hotel?
    4. My wife and I visited a National Park today, what Park?
    Cheers and good luck

    Thanks for kicking this off, great answers, but...

    I did visit Gettysburg a couple weeks ago, it was very good, but not an answer in this bif. By the way, Appalachian brewery in Gettysburg has pretty good beer, great service and food (ok, I tied this to beer at least once)

    First hint: going with a military theme will get you one answer, and the park has a great significance still today.

    Hints for today, surprised that only 2 responses so far. @hansenm72 and all past winners, feel free to participate. If you win, you can select someone else not in one of the excluded states to receive your box (BIF inside a LIF?)

    Hint 1: None of the guesses so far are an answer to any of the questions
    Hint 2: Only one of the parks is in a state that is excluded from this BIF

    So, Dave, can I forward my box to someone from a state that is currently ineligible? I imagine not, but I'm curious.

    You can only forward the box to a someone in a state that is eligible. What I'm hoping is that the person would be a good BA (chose wisely please) and run States LIF 18, if not I will run it again.
