Scavenger Hunt & Road Trip in a Kia Rio!

They say the joy of an adventure is not the destination, but the journey that leads you there. Count me in!

I love a good road trip and the challenge of a scavenger hunt.  Imagine embarking on your adventure in a sleek, high tech, user friendly vehicle, the Rio Explorer Page!  Your prize? Meet a Hollywood Celebrity. 

When I heard about the Zip and Dash  geocache challenge to Los Angeles in the 2012 Kia Rio 5-door, I wanted to know more and  (And I want to go!)

Picture this: You’re on a scavenger hunt accompanied by your best friend. Your challenge is to discover landmarks in L.A. and find hidden clues.  

Along the way you must visit 5 locations:

• The Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round--a historic landmark in L.A. that has been running since 1937!
• Amoeba Records--one of the most popular historic music stores in L.A. where you can still find rare vinyl, CDs, tapes and music, even catch a live show!
• Rodeo Drive--(shopping, anyone?) One of the most expensive, swanky, upscale destinations in the world.
• Pinks Hot Dogs--An L.A. favorite serving hot dogs named after Hollywood Celebrities (why not?)
• The Roosevelt Hotel--Smack dab in the middle of Hollywood Blvd where all the action is.

Kia has sent two pairs of best friends on the challenge and the best part is they get to utilize the car’s awesome features to make their way through L.A. in search of Christina Milian!  Imagine having these great features at your fingertips: The latest Bluetooth system, an innovative USB input jack, navigation, rear camera display, and the UVO voice powered commands powered by Microsoft!

I think my favorite feature has to be the UVO Technology, which provides cutting edge technology that allows you to personalize your driving experience using the sound of your voice! 

The Kia Rio is not only a truly advance car with incredible features, but it’s ricicously safe (gotta love that, too.)

If you watch this   you’ll see what I mean! Check it out and let me know what you think!

Now, if I could take this Zip and Dash challenge anywhere? L.A. would be awesome, but how about Chicago? Or San Francisco? Maybe in the Rockies somewhere?

Road trip anyone?
