Wow...Utah beats all the other states by far! Idaho isn't all that bad either. I wonder if there's a correlation.

Nice insights for sure!

Cool! Brings back fond memories of my very first thread on heroscapers: Who searches for Heroscape?

I heard a few years ago that there is a greater percentage of people on the Internet in Utah than in any other state. Plus Utah has a lot of younger kids. Maybe these are contributing factors.

I wonder if this factors into tournament scene

I already knew that. Most of my relatives live there. I think 60 of my 80 first cousins live there. I kinda made the comment because I already knew what the correlation was.

I think the numbers are searches per capita, or the percentage of searches in that area that are heroscape. But I could be wring since Wyoming and Alaska are sparse and Utah (according to you all the biggest internet users) is big.

What's really interesting is watching the animated "search volume over time" map.

Yeah, whoa. Not to hot lately, huh?

I always liked Utah...

I guess LafleurHero and I need to do some more googling, Wyoming almost looks like a hole in the map.

No kidding. My state blew yours away. I guess that means Nebraska likes their HS more than you!
