* Winner Selected, Contest Officially Over *

The GPS is a great invention, but sometimes you take a trip you want to preserve on paper. When we drove to Florida last year, we bought a Rand McNally Road Atlas. Passing through five states in 24 hours can be kind of hard to explain to young kids. Maps made all the difference. ;)

We’re getting ready for another trip this fall and now we’ve got greener options for our recording our family roadtrip adventures. In celebration of providing accurate, helpful information to travelers on the road for 85 years, Rand McNally has given their road atlas a bit of an overhaul. This includes sourcing their paper from forests managed under programs like the Sustainable Forest Initiative, and manufactured without many traditional chemicals, like chlorine.

The guide has much more to offer though, with a variety of fun family roadtrips, hot spots, and state trivia to make planning trips easy, and time spent on the road more fun.

Between now and the 4th of July, you can enter to win one of their 2009 85th Anniversary Rand McNally road atlases. Just let me know where you’re going, or tell me about your favorite family roadtrip from the past. I’ll pick a random winner on July 5th.

More information on the guide, and its online features, at the Rand McNally website.
