We've been experiencing an overwhelming response to our new Map Detective contest. Thank you to everyone who has submitted answers thus far. Last month we received over 500 e-mails, and they are still pouring in. Most of the answers we've received have been correct, so we think we might need to crank up the challenge a little bit. How many of you can discover the location of our maps without using the Internet for help? Good luck this month. May the best adventurer win!
Each 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're the first with the correct answer, you win! Please include in the subject line of your e-mail which month you're submitting an answer for. Each month of Map Detective (12 months) has a specified start date and end date. These dates are listed on 4WD&SU's website at 4wdandsportutility.com. Answers received before those dates will not be considered. The first participant to e-mail the correct answer after any specified start date for that month will win. Complete rules for the contest can be found on 4WD&SU's website.
This month you will be searching the magazine for six separate clues. These words or phrases will stand out from normal text in a different color and 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!

Win a Hi-Lift Lift-Mate!
The famous Hi-Lift jack so many of us already own now has a new use. Many trucks and SUVs have larger tires and/or lift kits that require extensive lifting-height ability from the bumper jack. This month's prize, the Lift-Mate (Hi-Lift jack not included), is designed to lift directly from the wheel, greatly reducing the amount of uptravel the jack bar requires to lift. The Lift-Mate's lift capacity is rated at over 5,000 pounds, and it features rubber-coated hooks to protect the wheel and a rubber pad for protecting the tire. For more information, contact Hi-Lift Jack Co. at (800) 223-2051 or www.hi-lift.com.
