In order to quench what seemed to have been an unending thirst for South American based geography quizzes based on letters, I've created my first South American Geography by the letters quiz. A was fairly easy, but I'm sure they will get much more difficult.

I should have got Georgia's nickname because I'm a fan of Archer.

Got them all pretty quickly except for the NH mountain range question. I tried Poconos to no avail (apparently they are in PA) and then gave up when nothing else came to mind. Felt kinda foolish when I saw the answer.

Palo Alto answer should have a two word blank clue just like Puget Sound and Palm Beach

If it should be an answer at all, as it's in its own CDP outside Palo Alto's borders. Addresses are in Stanford, CA.

That was my first thought as well - isn't Stanford University in Stanford California?

Took me a lot longer than it should have to figure out the 51st state answer. First reaction was DC, then Canada then I thought, maybe there is some movement to name Washington DC Potomac if it is admitted since there already is a state of Washington. Then I started thinking of Americanized resort cities in Mexico since in Texas we often refer to Cozumel as the 51st state. Puerto Vallarta that has to be it. I ended up having to skip it and come back.

Left the “e” off Platte. Should have learned to try that by now.

I actually guessed "Canada" on the 51st state question then proceeded by missing it.
