Then, just recently, I picked the magazine up again and saw that they were having another photo contest. This time, it was sponsored by Garmin. And the prize was the Garmin NĂ¼vi 465T GPS system: It's a GPS unit made specifically with truck routing. It navitagates routes based on the truck's type, load, height, weight, length, and hazardous load restrictions; this is super-awesome. Plus, it got good reviews.
Well, when I saw what they were offering, I said to Ed "I'm entering that contest again!" So last week, I sent in several new photos. I had taken some really cool shots since a few years ago and I thought for sure I'd had a chance to at least get an honorable mention.
Two days ago, we stopped at the Pilot and I went in to buy some ice. I saw the new March issue on the rack, so I picked one up. As I always do, I flipped to the photo contest page first. I knew I wouldn't be in this one since I had just sent my pictures in a few days before, but I wanted to see who the winners were.
Boy was I surprised when I saw MY photo staring back at me; that's the winner up there at the top of the post. It was taken in Nothing, Arizona...a town you probably won't find on any map. It's about 20 miles south of Wikieup. They spelled my name completely wrong when crediting the picture, but I don't mind, I'm now the owner a brand new GPS!
And I got it for showing them Nothing.
