I think we did pretty well, but there are still a few questions that I'm dying to know the answers to (like the flying ribs one, the don't try to get your beauty sleep one, etc ). I don't know how I can wait until May to know how we did!!!

When I posted my answers, I posted them exactly as I wrote them on the answer sheet. When reading the rules, spelling and punctuation counts.
If the other answers posted were exactly as they were written on the answer sheet, then some will be counted wrong, even though, they appear to be correct.
Example, on question 63, Red Rocks Amphitheatre on question 83, Echo Amphitheater
Same word spelled two different ways based on the official name of the location.
I believe the difference between winning and losing will come down to specifics.
Billy the Kid, the renown William H. Booney is buried in Old Fort Sumner Cemetery, not Fort Sumner.
Milt's Stop N- Eat not Milt's Stop & Eat. We actually called them and ask.
Mount Rushmore National Memorial not Mt. Rushmore
Eisenhower Memorial Bore not Eisenhower Memorial Tunnel
15th step at the Colorado State Capitol Building not Capital

The "beauty sleep" question is Craters of the Moon National Monument. If you "do drop"? Google Dewdrop lake and Beauty lake

Interesting on the Milt's Stop & Eat, which is how they told us to write it when we called, but I found a picture of the place from way back and the sign showed MILT'S STOP N' EAT. Anyway, I do believe it all matters. Also, I googled dewdrop, beauty, monument for my answer to #61 and found caves, not lakes.
Did anyone find the Penny in the Park. I mean really? It ain't the Lucky Penny bar. That place ain't even got its own website. The only thing significant I could find on it was that they are mentioned in a workman's comp. lawsuit.
Did anyone use Great Fire of London 1666 for the four nights of fire in the sky? Seeing's how that favoured bridge is now in Arizona?

Also, what about the No name wonder? That's probably going to be more of a tiebreaker than the lisence plate.
And the coordinates were a killer. GPS or decimal degrees? GPS were more "exact", but the answer sheet didn't support that format.
As for 43 and 44, will anyone ever know? All the answers I've seen for 43 partially fit the clue, as for 44, Cassies seems best so far.
Headquarters was another doosie. Armadillo World Headquarters?

The only thing significant I could find on it was that they are mentioned in a workman's comp. lawsuit. Penny Preville is a jewelry designer who sells her jewelry through a retail chain called Hyde Park. I liked the answer of "Preville" but I was alone on that one.

We called the lucky penny in Clyde park and they verified they were the answer-they are ten miles from the Marlboro ranch.
For the headquarters we went with American quarter horse association-The original and only place to register your quarter horse-now heads of horses and hind"QUARTER" 's abound.
43-Great northern brewing company--A beer called "Bear Naked Amber" with a cowboy silhouette on the label
No Name----"Nameless, Texas" --They applied six times for a name all were rejected-so no name was applying when they wrote back -"let the town be nameless and be d**ned" and the name was officially applied-goggle nameless wonder
44 .I hate that question
Also got craters of the moon monument and preserve which has dew drop and beauty cave
