Senators, Draw Your States!

Love the way National Geographic is celebrating Geography Awareness Week. It invited all U.S. Senators to “draw a map of their home state from memory and to label at least three important places.” The first batch of maps are in, including one from Minnesota’s Al Franken.
Drawing his home state from memory was simple. Remember, this is the guy who can do all 50 from memory in under two minutes.

What a cool idea. Begich did a good job with Alaska, and I like how he chose to point out areas of native Alaskan cultures, not just simply “my hometown” which several other senators did.
The lucky senators from Wyoming and Colorado have this one easy. Let’s see how the Texans fare.
