SOLUTION: The 2013 WBKR/Halloween Havoc Road War!
97 teams began! And, well, most finished. LOL! The 2013 WBKR/Halloween Road War is in the books. And a huge "Congratulations!" goes out to Team Saunders, the grand champions in this year's event. The official mileage of the course was 67.0 miles and the Saunders clan finished with 66.9 miles on their trip counter. (In fact, 8 other teams were within .4 of the total). Here's the official solution to this year's event, which featured some fun and challenging new twists and turns!
ROAD WAR LEG #1
In the 2003 horror film Wrong Turn, friends embark on an ill-fated road trip and eventually have to leave their stranded vehicle and continue their journey on foot. In the first leg of the Road War, that's exactly what YOU will have to do.

WHEN YOU FIND IT, CONGRATULATIONS! YOU WILL HAVE COMPLETED THE FIRST LEG OF THE WBKR/HALLOWEEN HAVOC ROAD WAR!- Photo is located in the back right booth inside Bee Bop's Diner. WBKR's Barb Birgy was waiting there with clues to the next leg of the course.
ROAD WAR LEG #2
In Christopher Nolan's 2000 psychological thriller Memento, Guy Pearce stars as Leonard, an amnesia victim who has to use Polaroid snapshots to rebuild the pieces of and recall his recent tragic past. In this leg of the Road War, we are giving you a set of snapshots which will help you find your way to your second checkpoint. Enjoy piecing together these little “mementos.” (In this leg, teams were given 18 photographs and were challenged to piece them together to create a route to their 2nd checkpoint. A photo of that checkpoint was included in the package of 18 photos, but was designated as the checkpoint.)
ROAD WAR LEG #3
In the 2004 horror movie Saw, a psychotic mastermind engineers elaborate puzzles that challenge his victims morally and intellectually. And the fate of those victims hinges on a minimal amount of clues and the maximum amount of terror. In this leg of the Halloween Havoc Road War, you will rely on minimal clues as well. You will have to unscramble the twists and turns of the 3rd leg of tonight's course. One mistake could result in your demise in the War. So, do you wanna play a game?
