Winners Announced for RV Driving Distance and Poll Question Regarding US Bank FlexPoints

Good morning everyone, thank you to the 92 of you who entered my latest contest for a chance to win one of 3 $10 Amazon eGift Cards.  I asked you to guess how many miles I drove in the RV from Los Angles to Denver and the correct answer is 1,789 miles.  The digital odometer only goes up to 1,000, but I can assure you the distance was 1,789 total miles driven.
