25.5 - Kaora's Task: All Work and Some Play...

Every quarter for work I get the opportunity to meet with my coworkers in some city in the US for camp where we spend 4 days reviewing the quarter, making plans going forward and having a little fun. This task is based off the cities we travelled for 2019.

Pick two places and complete the task for each.
Required: Make sure you indicate the options you have selected when you post.

Option 1: Palm Springs, CA
In Palm Springs we got the opportunity to take the tram and then hike around Mount San Jacinto State Park. Mount San Jacinto is 10,834 feet high.

Read a book with at least two of these numbers in the page total: 0, 1, 3, 4, 8.

Option 2: New Orleans, LA
This is my favorite place simply because of the food. It is also my second year in a row here, and the location of my first camp. I'm hoping we'll go again next year for the third year running.

Read a book that is the second in a series. The series designation (series name #2) must appear on the book's main Goodreads page.

Option 3: Chicago, IL
My second time in Chicago, I finally got to take a bout tour on the river. It is a fascinating city with a ton of history.

Read a book with some sort of boat on the cover. The boat must be capable of (even if they aren't visible) carrying at least two people and does not need to have a motor. Rowboats, canoes or anything larger will work. Single kayaks will not.
Ex. The Girl Who Came Home by Hazel Gaynor Ship of Magic (The Liveship Traders, #1) by Robin Hobb The Boys in the Boat Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown The Whistler (The Whistler, #1) by John Grisham

Required: Include the cover when you post.

Option 4: Albuquerque, NM
My first time ever in this state. It was beautiful and our visit happened to coincide with the Albuquerque Balloon Festival, so we got to see thousands of balloons dotting the landscape.
Read a book by a single author whose initials are in ALBUQUERQUE BALLOON FESTIVAL. All initials count. Letters can only be used as often as they appear.

Andy Plonka (plonkaac) | 4207 comments I have a couple of books that have boats on the cover The Terror by Dan Simmons and Bleak Harbor (Bleak Harbor #1) by Bryan Gruley I hope they meet your standards. If so will you please approve them?
