Yay, Michigan! I actually have a couple of Petoskey stones in my beach-themed bathroom as decoration. :) Found them on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Thanksgiving, anyone?

Southeastern Massachusetts in the vicinity of Plymouth is full of enormous cranberry bogs.

I wasn't aware of this quiz and made a similar quiz for all 50 states:

U.S. States by Obscure Official State Symbols

It's amazing how much overlap we had in our selections for the two quizzes. Feel free to pull info from my quiz into yours if you would like to.
