Contest 282: Sprung

Before spring finally broke out all over, many Washingtonians were so fed up with the cold, rainy weather that they jumped on a plane to a town southwest of Chiang Mai, Thailand, to get in the mood.

Name the rock.

RESULTS FROM 280: POWER GENE

In Contest 280, we noted that scientists have discovered that women are genetically more complex than men, with their underperforming "Y" chromosomes, and so they flew to a rock in Antarctica to celebrate their findings. Congrats to Daryl Hodge of Arnold, Md., who wins a Travel section mousepad for finding Rock X.
