So how did you fare last month searching the pages of 4WD&SU to discover the location depicted in our topographical map? Well, if you couldn't figure out the location last month, we present the second round of our latest contest, Map Detective, to give you another shot! To those who did figure it out, we have to apologize for misprinting the response e-mail address. The correct address is 4wdsumapdetective@primedia.com. We look forward to seeing your answers!
Every month we will share with you a partial section to a topographic map that locates a national park, body of water, trail system, mountain range, or another outdoor destination somewhere in the continental United States. The secret location can only be discovered by looking for clues in the magazine. We will be hiding a select number of words within the pages of each issue that will give you clues revealing the secret location. We will inform you every month how many words you need to be searching for. Should your detective and mapping skills help you locate the destination, send us an e-mail immediately to 4wdsumapdetective@primedia.com, and if you are the first with the correct answer, you win! Complete rules for this contest can be found on our website at 4wdandsportutility.com.

This month, you will be searching the magazine for six clues. These words or phrases will stand out from normal text in a different color or bold. They can be found anywhere on any page except for within an advertisement. These words can either form a sentence or be separate descriptive words providing distinctive clues. You will need to do your best Sherlock Holmes impression in order to reveal the location. Check out the map on this page, and good luck!
