I got 3 out of 10 right.
3/11. Guessed on every question.
7/10 I was trying to remember the show's beginning before the map caught on fire !
5/10 Had no idea, I guess every single question. Ha!
I didn't get any questions right
3 out of 10. They burn the map too fast for us to notice the landmarks!
I agree!
4/10…I had absolutely no idea at all about these locations 🤷♀️ My uncle used to tell me I get lost out of the driveway 🤭
At least we have GPS now for those who are challenged by maps. 😁
Oh no! I don’t trust those either 🙅♀️
Good point. They are helpful for the most part, but not 100% accurate. My uncle still gets packages delivered to the wrong house because of this. 😠
See? 😉😂
10/10. I can't miss on this easy quiz.

But if the show was in Virginia, wouldn’t it then be an “Eastern” and not a Western? 😉

8 of 10. Unbelievable. Almost all guesses! When I watched as a kid, I only paid attention to the map when it started on fire and the picture of the Cartwrights was shown... That was Cool!
9/10 I watched this show a lot with my mom while she was grading papers.
6/10. Darn map burns up so quickly. 🔥
7/10. Haven’t watched the show for a while.
7/10. Where are they getting ideas for quizzes?
