No doubt, this special edition year-end quiz hints at the musical underpinnings of the editor-in-chief. At the same time, it hopefully will test the most serious national park trivia expert. As you go about matching the artist(s) to their national park, beware of the wild cards.
Some of the connections are reflected in the artists' songs, others are not quite so obvious, and in some cases there might be more than one connection.
If you think you have all the right answers, the first person to list them correctly in the comments to this post will receive a Traveler water bottle.
We'll reveal the answers tomorrow.

Cash should be Los Padres National Forest.
That's some damn good trivia, Fuzz, but that's a national forest, not a national park;-)
