The answer boxes for the desert category didn't display. I could see there were a couple of unanswered questions but had no idea what they could be because there were no answer boxes for them.

This was awesome, but I have some requests for type ins? Could DC be accepted for Washington, DC (as someone who lives in the area that what we normally call it), and could the Gateway to the West be accepted for the St. Louis arch?

Also, I've usually heard Lexington and Concord as being the first battle of the Revolution, so I was a bit confused by the answer of Boston for that one

I took your requests into account.

For Boston, I was thinking of the Boston Tea Party. I'm obviously not American, so maybe I'm wrong about it, maybe it's more of a 'prelude to the revolution'.

Great quiz! You definitely took a while on this, I nominated it! I'm an American and I only got a 38...

Completely forgot about the Bering Sea, I kept trying to type in the Caribbean Sea.

Also, I would personally switch the Cascade Range with the Smoky Mountain Range, but that's not my place to judge.

Great quiz, but you might want to edit the "Teen Spirit" clue. The way it was worded, it was difficult to determine if you were asking for the song or the band.
