RE: Engagement Contest #1 "Tell me something I don't know"

in #contest7 years ago

I'm going to open the trivia can of worms:

There are only two pairs of escalators in the entire state of Wyoming.

I found this out from NowIKnow.com, a website that provides a daily email with a random bit of trivia. I've been receiving the emails for a couple of years now, and there are always fantastic bits of trivia each day. You can check out the archives to learn more great trivia!

I actually convinced the author of the list, Dan Lewis, to join Steemit a few weeks ago as @DanDotLewis. He hasn't posted since he first logged in, so I'm going to be in touch with him to remind him about the platform since his articles are very well-written.

Anyhow, if you'd like to learn more useless trivia, subscribe to his email list. It's a fun daily read!

Thanks for hosting this contest. It's a great idea for sure! Glad I can support your efforts!

Good entry. Two escalators in the whole state? They must be short on Malls, lol. And yes, please do get in touch with your buddy and bring him over. I checked his intro post when he first joined, and yeah, he does write pretty damn good, and should be fairly successful here on this platform.
Don't forget to engage with, comment on and upvote the other entries to this competition, too. There are prizes for replying to others and for Upvoting others, as well.

Interesting. Cool that you convinced that guy to join. I'm going to follow him and see if he'll start posting useless bits of info.

Hello, thanks for the bit of info. It makes sense in Wyoming. I’m not from there, but I’ve driven through it a few times. Beautiful country! How long have you been a steem member?

I don't think I've ever been through Wyoming. I have a friend who is from there, so maybe I'll get to visit someday. My steemit account is actually turning a year old soon. I've only been active since July, though. I actually just posted about my steemit journey today if you want to check it out.

What about you?

I’m only one week into steemit. I’ll check out your post! What part of the country are you from? If you take the time to go to Wyoming, I’d recommend working the black hills of South Dakota in too. Lots of cool history and natural beauty in both!

I'm from the East Coast. I actually have been to the Black Hills! I support some missionaries who live on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and I've been to visit them twice over the past two years. It's beautiful country. If you're interested, I've actually made two short films about my trips out there, and they were the subject of one of my first posts on Steemit.

Thanks for the tip!

Cool. I’ll check it out. I spent 1 semester at Chadron State, so I know the area a bit.
