We have added the Light Rail Challenge to the list of challenges on the online start box.  (Many thanks to Sandi Severtsen of Sound Steppers for getting this set up!)
This means when you register for (and complete) a Light Rail walk on the OSB, you can then download an insert card for the Light Rail Challenge.  Here’s how to get that set up:

After you log in to your OSB account, click on the “My Start Box” tab, then click on “My Books.”  Then you’ll see an option to click on “My Challenges and Other Programs”.  Click on that, and it will have a long list of other Challenges, including the Light Rail Challenge.  Check that box to add it to your list of Challenges.
Here is a screenshot from the “My Books” page, with my notes in red pointing to the buttons to click (you’ll see that I’ve added all the WA State Challenges in my list):

And, if you’re still working on the first Light Rail Challenge (yay!  keep going!), go ahead and click this box.  We’ll of course accept this insert card for the original Challenge too.  (We couldn’t add the original Challenge to this list because it has technically expired – but if you’re working on completing your book, by all means use this for your insert card!  Walk on, happy campers!).
