  33. Virgin Islands NP, St. John, VI, Nov 29 2008
  34. Virgin Islands Coral Reef NM, St. John, VA Nov 29 2008

And here are the ones Sheryl got when she was out west with Mike:

  1. Pony Express NHT (MO-KS-NE-CO-WY-UT-NV-CA), Mar 27 2008
  2. Mormon Pioneer NHT (IL-IA-NE-WY-UT), Mar 27 2008
  3. Oregon NHT (MO-KS-NE-WY-ID-OR-WA), Mar 27 2008
  4. California NHT (MO-OK-KS-NE-CO-WY-UT-ID-NV-CA-OR), Mar 27 2008

In addition, she had repeat stamps for 1, 2, and 4 on Mar 29 2008.  AND the signature of the State Coordinator-Utah of the National Park Service.

As Mike noted, the 2008 Muffin prompted an examination of the rules–should Sheryl be on her own or are we a team?  We decided that we’re doing this as a team, so only the stamps that we see together count.  On the other hand, if a tiebreaker is needed then the additional stamps by one of us would come into play.  So one team member’s additional stamps can break a tie, but they can’t make a tie.

And there you have it.  It’s 2009, baby.  Game is ON.
