This Summer, Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine takes readers on a Texas sized road trip with the fifth-annual Great Outdoor Scavenger Hunt (GOSH)! It's a great opportunity to discover something new about the place we call home.
Readers are encouraged to explore all 268,597 square miles of Texas in pursuit of summer fun, silly selfies and prizes! Victoria,Texas is an official GOSH summer 2024 destination!
Our dedicated GOSH site in Victoria is the famous Street of Ten Friends sign!
HOW TO GET STARTED:
Sign at the
TPWD website (tpwmagazine.com), then visit one or more GOSH locations across nine regions of Texas. Each site includes selfie instructions, so grab your phone or digital camera and snap a photo of yourself as described in the entry. You can email your photos to magazine@tpwd.texas.gov with the subject line "GOSH 2024," or post them on Instagram with the subject line "GOSH 2024."
CONQUER A REGION:
Complete all activities in a region and you'll get a downloadable certificate commemorating your achievement, along with a shout-out in a future issue of Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine in which we'll salute our GOSH participants. For example, to complete the Panhandle region, you'll need to upload a total of five selfies, one for each of the tasks on pages 46-47.
READY, SET, GOSH!
Visit tpwmagazine.com/GOSH2024 for complete rules. Our website also includes driving directions and a link to contact us. You can also take GOSH with you all summer long when you download our magazine app for iOS or Android (it's free!). GOSH 2024 ends at midnight on Labor Day, Sept. 2, 2024.
PRIZES!
Complete every activity on this year's hunt by the deadline, and you'll win the ultimate GOSH bragging rights, the admiration of the Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine staff, and you'll be entered into a drawing to win one of four grand prizes courtesy of Whole Earth Provision Co., Rambler Sparkling Water, Mustang Survival and the Texas Historical Commission.
